hydrographically bolivian poopó lake is located in the basin of desaguadero river and it has over a dozen main tributary rivers and other smaller rivers with lower flow. the mine water discharge from the abandoned and current mining activities polluted these rivers by carrying heavy metals, dissolved and suspended solids which in turn polluted the poopó lake which is considered as an important ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Container-breeding mosquitoes, especially Aedes spp are vectors of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya. The abundance of these disease vectors in an area depends on the availability of container habitats and their physicochemical characteristics. The species composition of container-breeding mosquitoes in Asom, India was studied and the larval density was correlated ...

growing the water consuming and shortage of available fresh water resources, make “effluent reuse” an unavoidable issue in industry for supplying a part of needs for required water. on the other hand, increment in the production of paper products from wood and recycling their consumed products which release pollutants to the environment has increased the environmental concerns. thus, in present...

'Solids formed from coprocessing of 10% coal/90% resid were characterized by solvent extraction, elemental analyses, C'3/C'z isotope ratio, ESR, and GPC techniques. adsorbed petroleum-derived material (oil, resin, asphaltene). The THF insolubles in the product contained high oxygen, low vanadium and a higher level of polyaromatic radicals than the soluble fraction, indicating that these insolub...

A stormwater management system utilizing the mechanisms of sedimentation and filtration/infiltration was developed and constructed for the immobilization of suspended solids and heavy metal constituents (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cu, Cd, Ni) in runoff. Monitoring took place between May 2010 and November 2012 on a total of 24 storm events. This research on the fractionation of heavy metals in runoff and d...
