Rio Sonora watershed and its aquifer-located in northwest Mexico-have been influenced by mining operations for 140 years, possibly causing emissions of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and affecting health of exposed populations. On the basis of available data from governmental surveys (2014–2017) and recent sampling (2018), this study constructed ...

A widely distributed urban bird, the house crow (Corvus splendens), was used to assess bioavailable heavy metals in urban and rural environments across Pakistan. Bioaccumulation of arsenic (As), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) was investigated in wing feathers of 96 crows co...

In the practical application of air protection, diverse dispersion models are used to calculate the concentration of contaminants in the air. They usually involve a universal character, which typically makes them sufficient for use in almost all conditions, with the exception of those clearly deviating from the average. This is especially relevant ...

Soil and mine tailings are unreceptive to plant growth representing an imminent threat to the environment and resource sustainability. Using indigenous plants and their associated rhizobacteria to restore mining sites would be an eco-friendly solution to mitigate soil-metal toxicity. Soil prospection from Draa Sfar and Kettara mining sites in Moroc...
