Abstract:

Content: This paper briefly introduced the process of leather manufacture and the potential pollution sources of soil in tannery sites. Pollutants are mainly derived from the use of a large number of various chemicals and organic matter decomposed by raw skin. The characteristics of typical pollutants in tannery sites soil were summarized, including tannery site soil pH, organic and inorganic compounds, and heavy metals, etc., especially the status of chromium contamination were reviewed. The pH of soil in the tanning workshop (6.65-7.8) is generally lower than tannery sludge dumping site (7.9

A polyphasic approach was used to examine the impact of contamination on soil microbial community structure. Two systems were examined using a combined biochemical and molecular biological approach.

Abstract:

Effective techniques for assessing soil environmental pollution are required to develop protective policy. Chemical methods have been traditionally used to determine total concentration of pollutants and biologically linked measurements have been used to assess the bioavailable fraction of pollutants. Bioluminescence-based microbial bioassays have been shown to respond to the bioavailable fractions. Growth and bioluminescence of lux-marked E. coli HB101 and P. fluorescens 10586r were characterised and optimised for freeze-drying culture. Freeze-drying cultures have been used effectively becaus

Extreme flooding of rivers may contribute to increased loading of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to the Great Lakes, the Mississippi river, and other large lakes and surface waters downstream of industrial and urban areas.

Abstract:

POPs are a group of chemicals that have been extensively studied over the last few years. The main reason that these chemicals have received so much scientific attention is the myriad of negative effects they have on the environment and human health. The properties that cause the deleterious effects include a high molecular stability, rendering them highly persistent. Added to this is the lipophilic and hydrophobic nature of the compounds. POPs will thus tend to bio-accumulate and bio-magnify in the environment, causing a direct threat to humans and wildlife. To address this threat, the Stockh

Abstract:

Market gardening is commonly characterised by intensive cultivation, high inputs of both organic and inorganic fertilisers, chemical over/misuse, frequent irrigation, and a low degree of soil cover.

Soil and nutrient loss in stormwater runoff varies with soil type, climate and production systems. Therefore local data are needed to determine the impact of market gardening on the Hawkesbury-Nepean. This should lead to a better understanding of how land management i

Du fait de leur persistance, ils peuvent être réémis depuis le sol vers l'atmosphère et parcourir ainsi de longues distances. Ce processus est couramment appelé « effet saut de sauterelle ». On peut donc retrouver les POPs très loin de leurs sources d'émissions. Pour pouvoir prendre des décisions visant à réduire leur impact environnemental, il est nécessaire de co

Abstract:

Les outils d’évaluation des risques liés au transfert des polluants gazeux du sol vers les environnements intérieurs comportent de fortes incertitudes quant à la connaissance de certains paramètres et notamment ceux relatifs à l’interface sol-bâtiment : prise en compte des différentes typologies de soubassement, niveau de perméabilité des planchers bas. Ces incertitudes conduisent à une mauvaise estimation de l’impact de ces polluants gazeux sur la qualité d’air intérieur.Afin de contribuer à l’amélioration des modèles d’évaluation pour la gestion des risques vis-à-vis des pollutions gazeuses
