Abstract:

Birds have been widely used as bioindicators. In this study we face the use of birds as bioindicators of metal pollution in two different scenarios of contamination: one that takes place in an aquatic environment, the Ebro river basin, and a second that occurs in a terrestrial environment, the Bolivian Andes. In the case of the Ebro river basin, the pollution threat is a factory located at the river bend, close to Flix, that due to its long operational activity and along with the construction of a dam next to the plant around 1960, resulted in the accumulation of 200,000–360,000 tons of in

Abstract:

The distribution of heavy metals between soil and soil solutions is a key issue in evaluating the environmental impact of long term applications of heavy metals to land. Contamination of soils by heavy metals has been reported by many workers. Metal adsorption is affected by many factors, including soil pH, clay mineralogy, abundance of oxides and organic matter, soil composition and solution ionic strength. The pH is one of the many factors affecting mobility of heavy metals in soils and it is likely to be the most easily managed and the most significant. To provide the appropriate level of p

Abstract:

The global human population is expected to exceed 9 billion individuals by 2050, putting greater strain on the natural resources needed to sustain such a population. To feed this many people, some expect agricultural production will have to double and agrochemical use will have to increase anywhere from two- to five-fold relative to the turn of the century. Although industrial agriculture has provided many benefits to society, it has caused declines in biodiversity, both directly (e.g., through conversion of habitat) and indirectly (e.g., through contamination of adjacent natural habitats).

However, Hg from other sources including soil erosion associated with land cover and land-use change (LCLUC) may also contribute to local Hg pollution. </p><p> Stable Hg isotope profiles of sediment cores, surface sediments, and soils from t

Wild populations of aquatic biota with various feeding behaviour have been observed to ingest microplastic. Exposure studies have also demonstrat

Previous research on Honolulu streams indicates that contamination by trace metals from automobile usage is a significant problem, especially Cu (copper), Pb (lead), and Zn (zinc). Therefore, this study was designed to determine the influence of road sediments and storm sewers on bioavailable trace metal concentrations in bed sediments of Nuʻuanu Stream, Oʻahu. Enrichment ratios (ERs) indicated that the Nuʻuanu watershed is significantly polluted in the lower, urbanized reaches, with maximum ER values of 444 (road sediments) and 74 (stream sediments) for Pb.

Abstract:

Anthropocene is the current era in which human activities modify various environmental properties, which have implications for many coastal processes. Anthropogenic stressors increasingly affect coasts and push these environments to a new altered equilibrium state. However, monitoring such pollution is a challenging task because coastal systems are highly dynamic and integrate the physicochemical forces at work on freshwater bodies, estuaries and lagoons with the oceanographic characteristics of adjacent seas.

Abstract:

Pollution from human and animal faecal waste is a major cause of deteriorating water quality and increased nutrient loads in coastal and inland waterways. Management of this problem depends on knowing which sources of faecal matter are the cause and what is the degree and extent of the pollution. Bacterial indicator organisms have long been the principal method used to test water samples for faecal contamination. However, none of the currently used bacterial indicators on their own are source specific enough to distinguish different sources of faecal matter. The use of faecal sterol biomarkers
