Soil samples in Moryayla village located 156 km northeast of Erzurum and Cu mineralization area around it were collected randomly. In these samples, 20 taken order to investigate the metals found pollution limits sources that cause this pollution. The geochemical analyzes (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn Fe) soil made evaluated with parameters. calculation parameters, enrichment factor (EF); geoaccumula...

This study concerns the distribution and potential sources of elevated heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, As) in surface sediments of the Dongzhai Harbor, Hainan Island,a national important mangrove ecosystem protection area.It was found that the pollution of As may occur occasional biological effect by numerical Sediment Quality Guidelines. Further, Geoaccumulation indices (Igeo) sugg...

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...

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...

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...

The objective of this study was to establish contamination level for, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, As, Hg, Sb, Co, and Cd in soils around the old Hg mine area central part Turkey. 34surface samples from were collected. Samples digested metals determined by ICP-OES assess metal using Enrichment factor (EF), (Cf), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), hazard quotient (HQ) (individual metal), (Cd), modified (mCd),...

The paper divided the whole coal life cycle, explained each phase characteristics, and took coal mine in China as a study case to assess the ecological risk in coal utilization phase. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) the whole coal life cycle is divided into coal mining, processing, transportation, utilization, and waste disposal. (2) The key points of production organization and charac...

To explore the impact of metal smelting activities on surrounding environment in water source area Mid–route South–to–North Water Transfer Project China, soil samples farmland around a zinc smelter this were collected and pollution, risk, heavy metal(loid)s (As, Cu, Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni, V, Zn) determined study. The contents measured by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry their pollution levels ecologica...

The aim of this study is to determine the anthropogenic effects in lake Gala Thrace Region and make an ecological risk analysis as a result these effects. Based on multi-element analyzes samples collected from by Grab Core method, using ICP-MS, which frequently used calculation sediment pollution studies; Ecological lakes with statistical such Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination (CF), Geoaccu...

This study comprehensively investigated the distribution, source identification, and potential ecological risk of heavy metals (As, Ni, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn) in surface sediments Mongla port area Bangladesh. The sediment samples were collected from ten sampling points during wet dry season analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. average concentration metal was higher (11.36 to 118.55 mg/...
