Abstract:
Abstract Biological tests recommended by Environment Canada (1994) for the assessment of contaminated sites were evaluated at three sites in Atlantic Canada. Soil and sediment samples from contaminated sites in Makinsons, Newfoundland, Weldon, New Brunswick, and Five Island Lake, Nova Scotia, were characterized by chemical analysis and the recommended bioassays. Contaminants in excess of federal and/or provincial guidelines included poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and heavy metals in Makinsons soil, TPH in Weldon soil, and PCBs and heavy metals in Five Isl

Abstract:
Mining activities in the areas Krompachy and Rudňany-Markušovce were focused on mining and processing of copper and mercury ore and left harmful effects on the region of Eastern Slovakia. The aim of this study is using different screening methods (XRF, Phytotoxkit and earthworm bioassays) for environmental risk assessment of metal-contaminated areas. Elemental analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry indicated severe pollution of studied soils by Cu, Ni, As and Hg, which exceeded limit values. Significant positive correlation is found between Pb and Zn occurrence in the agricultural soil fr

Abstract:
The present study specifically indicated that the crude ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves of Adhatoda vasica Nees produced anthelmintic activity against african earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae. Various concentrations (10, 25, 50 mg/ml) of aqueous and ethanolic extracts were evaluated in the bioassay involving determination of time of paralysis (P) and time of death (D) of the worms. Albendazole was used as standard anthelmintic drug and distilled water was used as negative control. The results of the present study indicated that the ethanolic and aqueous extracts significantly exhibited

Abstract:
South Africa is one of the most important mining countries in the world, hosting the world's largest reserves of platinum group metals (PGMs). Even though mining is clearly an important activity in South Africa, contributing approximately US$ 7.4 billion annually to the countries' gross domestic product (GDP), the costs to the environment are not insignificant. One of the most severe environmental aspects associated with mining is the storage of mineral waste on tailings storage facilities due to their impacts on air quality, ground water quality, aesthetics and land use. It is also unknown wh

Abstract:
Mining has negative impacts on the environment, and is one of the main contributors to environmental pollution. This holds a potential hazard for ecosystems surrounding mining areas and also for public health in the surrounding communities. There is therefore a need for ecotoxicological research in order to assess these possible risks and find ways to minimize the harmful effects. One way in which to assess soil vitality are soil enzymes which are produced by plants and microorganisms and will therefore be more abundant in healthy soils. Earthworms have been proven to be useful bioindicators f
