- Abstract:
- ... Climate changes are likely to be significantly affected by reservoirs/lakes due to emission of greenhouse gas (GHG), change in the magnitude and seasonality of river runoffs and severe extreme events. In this study, a coupled GHG Risk Assessment Tool (GRAT) and Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) are used to predict the GHG risk of Koteshwar reservoirs located in Uttarakhand, India. Before running t ...

- Abstract:
- ... The concentrations of heavy metals in rice grains and soils from Ada cultivated fields were investigated. Rice and soil samples were digested and the heavy metal concentrations determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed the following concentrations of metals (mg/kg): soil—Pb (4.64 ± 2.18), Cd (0.83 ± 0.83), Zn (20.26 ± 18.60), Mn (68.90 ± 19.91), Ni (3.46 ± 2.42), and ...

- Abstract:
- ... Mahshahr has a strategic position and is considered as industrial hub of Iran. Selected heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contamination and health risk, and the mineralogical composition of street dust from Mahshahr were investigated. Results indicated that geology is the main determinant of the dust mineralogical composition. Calculated enrichment factor (EF) and principal ...

- Abstract:
- ... Advances in technology have not always been in favor of human beings and can lead to the emergence of “emerging contaminants” in human dwellings. These contaminants have taken a new form that is colorless, tasteless, and odorless and invisibly pollute the environment. Due to being intangible, their control and measurement are more difficult than the other types of pollutants. This study is an atte ...

This investigation was conducted to survey the levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) in polished rice collected at supermarkets located in Hengyang, China. The surveyed rice samples were grouped according to their production areas into four different groups—Hunan, Jiangxi, Jilin, and Thailand. The data showed that the highest means of Cd, Pb, ...

In selected urban parks of the Silesian agglomeration, samples of soil, sand and dust were collected and analyzed for Zn, Pb and Fe contents.The highest soil concentrations of the metals were found in park no. I (Kościuszki) in Katowice (average concentrations 244, 341 and 9375 mg/kg, respectively) and slightly lower soil concentrations were found in the park no. III (Silesian) in Chorzów (131, 21 ...

Metals such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) were estimated in the flesh of the edible blue crab Callinectes amnicola from selected areas of the Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria (i.e., Makoko, Iddo, Okababa, Ikoyi, and Ajah) for 18 months between March 2011 and August 2012. Estimated average daily intake (EADI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) were used to determine the risk implication ...

- Abstract:
- ... Numerical simulation-based health risk assessment for contaminated groundwater is computationally costly. This study presents a meta-model-based statistical framework to create a series of rapid response for capturing the relations between remediation strategies (pumping rates at the wells) and remediation performance (contaminant concentrations). The meta-model is used to predict the naphthalene ...
