This study aimed to investigate the risk of element/heavy metal pollution caused by listvenitization. In this context, heavy listvenite-derived soils in region where listvenitized ultrabasic rocks are present as a result hydrothermal alterations vicinity Alakeçi (Bayramiç Çanakkale/Western Türkiye) was investigated with index, geoaccumulation index and integrated parameters. For purpose, Cu, Zn...

This paper describes the concentration of selected heavy metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the Mamut river sediments and evaluate the degree of contamination of the river polluted by a disused copper mine. Based on the analytical results, copper showed the highest concentration in most of the river samples. A comparison with Interim Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines (ICSQG) and Germany Sedi...

Coastal aquatic ecosystems are environments increasingly affected by human activities due to urban discharges and their use as dumps. The objective of this study is determine the profiles metallic elements concentration (Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) Cotonou channel sediments evaluate quality. For this, surface (0-5cm) were sampled at 13 sites along channel. Thus,Geoaccumulation I...

Water and sediment samples have been collected from five different stations, located along Djendjen River between February and June, 2016 so that the concentrations of Cd, Ni, Zn, and Cu could be determined. The extent of the sediment pollution has been assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Ig...

This paper examined the efficiency of artificial neural network (ANN) and multivariate linear regression (MLR) models in prediction groundwater quality parameters such as ecological risk index (ERI), pollution load (PLI), metal (MPI), Nemerow (NPI), geoaccumulation (Igeo). 40 samples were collected systematically analyzed for mainly heavy metals. Results revealed that adopting measured is effec...

Introduction: Uncontrolled and improper landfilling of solid waste increases the concentration of heavy metals in the soil. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate soil contamination with heavy metals in the landfill of municipal and hospital waste in Sabzevar city by compiling a map of the severity of heavy metal pollution in the soil. Materials and Methods: Concentrations of heavy metals ...
