Abstract:

Eighteen-month-old adult female Peking Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) were placed in the Ottawa, and St. Lawrence rivers for periods varying between 14 and 72 days during the summers of 1987, 1988 and 1989. Two stations located on Lake St. Francis were selected for establishing a time-curve for the accumulation of organochlorine pesticides (OC) and PCB in the liver. The ducks rapidly lost weight during their first 20 days in the natural environment but stabilised after about 40 days. This weight loss was caused by the stress of habitat, change, the energetic costs in searching for food and moultin

Abstract:

Fossil fuels are currently the primary industrial energy source on Earth. They are principally composed of complex hydrocarbons in either long-chain or cyclic conformation. Industrial use of petroleum, diesel, oil, tar and other coal-derived products inevitably leads to pollution of the environment. The most serious pollution is caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that are not easily removed from soil after a spill. Long-chain and cyclic conformation makes fossil fuel hydrocarbons difficult to break down. However, certain free-living soil micr

Les lacs d'altitude sont soumis à des retombées atmosphériques de polluants organiques persistants (POP) issus pour la plupart des activités humaines malgré leur éloignement des sources d'émissions de ces composés. Si les mécanismes de transport atmosphérique de ces polluants jusqu'aux sites d'altitude sont désormais bien connus (« global distillation » ou « grasshopper effect »), on dispose en revanche de très peu d'informations quant à leur devenir dans ces écosystèmes montagnards. Le travail présenté a pour objectif de déterminer les processus internes au lac influençant le devenir de ces p

Byla provedena studie bioakumulace POP v potravním řetězci a historických trendů hladin POP v sedimentech Brněnské přehrady. Současné úrovně kontaminantů byly stanoveny v jelci tloušti z řeky Svratky a rovněž byla posouzena hygienická kvalita ryb z rekreačního rybolovu. Současné úrovně POP v terestrickém ekosystému byly posouzeny pomocí analýz jehličí jako přirozeného indikátoru znečištění. Studium jedinců tří druhů dravých ptáků z ČR bylo zaměřeno na zhodnocení kontaminace těchto vrcholných predátorů POP. S pomocí analýz vybraných druhů ryb ze Záhlinických rybníků byl rovněž studován proces b

In Brazil, PCBs are still used in old electrical transformers and capacitors which were installed up to 1981 when their use and commercialization were banned. However, the permission to use devices with PCBs installed up to the early 80s was maintained up to the moment that their dielectric fluids or the entire device be fully replaced for products free of PCBs. Currently, PCBs are classified as persistent organic

Depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années, la population des anguilles européennes a souffert d’un dramatique déclin et est classée parmi les espèces hors de leurs limites biologiques depuis 1998. Différents phénomènes, tels que la pêche, les obstacles aux migrations, ou le réchauffement climatique, en sont à l’origine. Cependant, les perturbations environnementales, telles que les contaminations métalliques et organiques ou les épisodes d’hypoxie, participent probablement à la vulnérabilité de cette espèce. Or, l’estuaire de la Gironde est soumis à des contaminations poly-métalliques historiques, ai

L’impact anthropique sur les cours d’eau a significativement augmenté suite à la révolution industrielle engagée par les pays occidentaux. Ainsi, les modifications de la géomorphologie des cours d’eau pour le stockage de l’eau et la navigation, la conversion des surfaces à des fins agricoles, industrielles et d’urbanisation illustrent cette pression environnementale, qui se traduit, en autre, par une augmentation de rejets de divers contaminants dans les compartiments environnementaux et notamment les rivières. Une part de ces rejets peut donc se retrouver dans les matières en suspension, cons

Abstract:

M.Sc. (Nanoscience)<br>Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are harmful to humans and the environment. These PCBs are grouped under chlorinated organic compounds (COCs). The PCBs find their way to the environment through human activity such as industrialization and farming. Such activity produces wastes and runoffs that eventually end up in the water we use for drinking, farming and sanitation. It has then become necessary for researchers to find viable methods to remove these compounds from the environment. This is because current water treatment meth
