In tropical and subtropical latitudes, woody plants known as mangroves flourish in slimy, anaerobic soils on the boundary between land sea. They can withstand extreme weather conditions like high temperatures, unreliable tides, strong winds, salt. The objective of this study was to determine concentration nine trace elements (Hf, Ga, Ba, V, Cs, Sc, Sb, Ta, Co) sediment mangrove forest along wes...

soil contamination in the vicinity of the abandoned lakan lead and zinc mine was studied. the results showed that over the past decades, the environmental pollution was caused by lead, zinc tailings dam and acid mine drainage. the average of lead, zinc, cadmium, copper and nickel is 1295, 4273, 27, 185 and 92 mg/kg, respectively in the soils of tailings dam. these metals were continuously dispe...

Water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the Nil River between February and June 2015. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. The extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). The result...

Areas polluted by heavy metals in soil may pose a major risk to human health and ecological environment safety. In this study, 89 samples were collected from four potato producing areas (Libo, Chishui, Panxian Weining) Guizhou Province, China, the concentrations of 9 analyzed measured. The aims study was evaluate pollution index some potato-producing Province using geoaccumulation method, load ...

the inter-tidal mangrove environment of mengkabong lagoon is important as it supports the local fishing activities, nursery grounds for many fish and shellfish species, and as well as being central for ecotourism activities. the study showed that in general, the physicochemical parameters (ph, salinity and electrical conductivity), granulometric fractions, organic matter, base cations (na, k, c...

water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the nil river between february and june 2015. concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. the extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (cf), pollution load index (pli), and the geoaccumulation index (igeo). the result...

Constructed wetlands are an affordable and reliable green alternative to conventional mechanical systems for treating domestic sewage. This study investigates the potential of 14 tropical wetland plant species removing heavy metals from sewage through bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation (TF), enrichment (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo) using batch mesocosm studies. Plants with BCF &g...
