in this study, concentrations of heavy metals in soils around a zn-smelter in qeshm island, iran, are investigated. calculated geoaccumulation index (igeo), contamination factor (cf), and contamination degree (cdeg) values indicate surface soil contamination by toxic metals (as, cd, pb, and zn). the results also indicate that most contaminated areas are located in the vicinity of the smelter an...

Concentrations of heavy metals exceed safety thresholds in the soil near Janghang Copper Refinery, a smelter in Korea that operated from 1936 to 1989. This study was conducted to evaluate the level of exposure to toxic metals and the potential effect on health in people living near the smelter. The study included 572 adults living within 4 km of the smelter and compared them with 413 controls g...
For 6,000 years, humans have known about smelter hazards. Yet these metals threats continue. Why? This commentary provides one preliminary answer. It (1) summarizes the history of smelter pollution and (2) suggests that at least 3 problems-especially flawed smelter-polluter science-allow continuing health threats. It (3) illustrates this flawed science by using one of the most dangerous of U.S....
At first, laboratory-scale work under aerobic conditions was undertaken on bacteria imported from the USA. The system was optimised for variables including pH, temperature, nutrient type (e.g. glucose, molasses) and nutrient addition rate. As the effluent could contain phenols, tolerance to phenols at different concentrations was also investigated, including the possibility of utilising phenol ...
The histological distribution of lung cancer was investigated in 93 men who had worked at a Swedish smelter with high levels of arsenic. A comparison was made with a group of 136 patients with lung cancer from the county where the smelter was located. Company records provided information on occupational exposure and data on smoking habits were obtained from a next of kin of each subject. No pro...
BACKGROUND Fluoride is used increasingly in a variety of industries in India. Emission of fluoride dust and fumes from the smelters of primary aluminum producing industries is dissipated in the work environment and poses occupational health hazards. OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of health complaints and its association with fluoride level in body fluids of smelter workers in a primary alu...

Dated sediment cores from four remote Canadian Shield headwater lakes, where atmospheric deposition has been the only input of anthropogenic Pb, situated along a transect extending 300 km from a nonferrous metal smelter, were analyzed for both lead concentrations and isotopic composition; porewater samples collected at the same sites were analyzed for Pb and other geochemical variables. The dep...
BACKGROUND To determine patterns of childhood lead exposure in a community living near a lead and zinc smelter in North Lake Macquarie, Australia between 1991 and 2002. METHODS An analysis of serial blood lead levels (BLL) of children less than 13 years of age in North Lake Macquarie participating in voluntary blood lead screening. Distance to the smelter and soil lead concentration of the ch...
