Abstract: Tangail district is an industrial growing site of Bangladesh and highly sensitive to environmental pollution which is the result of natural and anthropogenic factors that expressively decrease environmental quality. In present study, three different sampling locations were selected around industrial vicinity and level of hazardous elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd and Pb) were assessed
Abstract: The Solar energy is a renewable and clean alternative energy to the classical fossil fuels, as well as one of the energies in support of the so-called “green economy” of the modern society. It can be used through different technologies and for various purposes, even though it suffers from variation and intermittence of production, caused by the day-to-night cycles and weather conditions.
Abstract: Excess sludge has been becoming one of the great environmental pressures on the future of sludge treatment and disposal. An ideal way to solve sludge-associated problems is to minimize sludge production rather than the post-treatment of the sludge produced. Cleaner Production (CP) has been successful in application for waste reduction of industries.
Abstract: The rapid development of urban brings a series of urban ecological problems. It is the key issue to quantify the urban ecosystem by monitoring and simulating the dynamic change of ecosystem health objectively and accurately in urban, and it is the effective means to solve the urban ecological problems. Remote sensing images of 2005, 2009 and 2013 in Panji District,
Abstract: The chemical composition of groundwater affects its suitability for drinking, agricultural and industrial uses. About 80% of diseases in the world and one-third of deaths in developing countries are associated with drinking of water of mediocre quality.
Abstract: Over exploitation of groundwater aquifers and improper sewage disposal in addition to accidental discharge pose risks to groundwater in urban environments. Groundwater under Basement Complex areas of southwestern Sokoto Basin (SWSB)
Abstract: The Italian territory is strongly affected by ground instability phenomena, due either to the geology and the geomorphology of its territory, and to the poor physical-mechanical properties of the involved materials.
Abstract: Sustainability is a broad and yet important topic for the well-being of human race and the delicate ecosystems of our planet. Sustainability is a concept that requires interdisciplinary inputs and practiced through every layer
Abstract: Lakes are important nutrient sink with substantially nitrogen stocking in sediment. Two sediment cores were collected and analyzed to study the temporal changes of nitrogen sedimentation in a shallow, dam-controlled Chaohu Lakesedimentation rates varied significantly
Abstract: The occurrence and risk assessment of 22 inorganic elements have been evaluated in urban sewage sludge and Lake’s surface sediments in the Republic of Benin. Broad range concentration of elements was detected [1.43E-02 mg kg-1 (Tl) to 2.68E+04 mg kg-1 (Fe)] in sediment
Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of human activities on the benthic macro-invertebrates assemblage of the Isiokpo stream in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. Samples were collected in duplicates from three different sites along the stream (upstream, midstream and downstream).
Abstract: The prevalence of eggs of helminth parasites was evaluated in faecal samples of 60 goats and 70 cattles slaughtered at the Trans-Amadi slaughterhouse, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Floatation and direct microscopy techniques were employed in examining the samples
Abstract: Estuaries are complex and dynamic aquatic environments, wherein fresh water mixes with rhythmically intruding seawater. Mudflats and mangroves are the important sedimentary subenvironments within estuaries which facilitate deposition of fine sediments
Abstract: Agricultural fields have become major sources of phosphorus to aquatic environments. But less studies reported the phosphorus losses by surface runoff in response to the changes of cropping systems at different spatial scales.
