The bayberry is an important economic fruit as well as a minor crop in China, and few pesticide products are registered for bayberry. Prochloraz is a widely used fungicide with a high detection rate on bayberry. This study evaluated the potential dietary risk of prochloraz for different populations in China based on field trial data and market surv...

Today, armed conflict affects some twenty countries, covering an area making up 11% of the surface area of the Earth. Any degradation of nature in these areas represents a harmful depletion of the world’s natural heritage. Despite this, environmental issues are neglected during these periods of conflict, considered secondary to the urgency of resto...

The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of antimony and barium in air quality samples and assess the potential suitability of these metals as tracer elements for non-exhaust traffic emissions sources. Air quality filters sampled at monitoring sites around the UK for the purposes of the UK Heavy Metals Monitoring Network were subjected...

The purpose of this study was to use water quality indices and statistical methods based on physicochemical parameters for spatial-temporal assessment of Ekbatan lake pollution. Sampling stations were selected based on systematic, non-random approach, and it was performed in 7 stations, with intervals of 30 days in 2010–2011. At first, indices mode...

The current study analyzed heavy metal (HM) concentrations in the urban soil and tree leaves in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia, with the aim to identify specific tree species with good HM bioaccumulative abilities that can mitigate HM pollution in urban areas. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) were selected for the analysis of tree leaves and soil...

Although indispensable, significant uncertainty still exists in the underlying processes of the formation, dynamics, and emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), the critical elements needed for the accurate estimation of greenhouse gas fluxes in inland lakes and reservoirs. Seasonal changes in water thermal stratification and turbulence strongly influ...

Heavy metal pollution in aquatic bodies is a matter of serious concern for aquatic fauna and human health. This study evaluated the effect of heavy metals on structural aberrations in fish scales of freshwater Indian major carp Labeo rohita. Scales from two size groups—lesser than and equal to 40 cm and greater than 40 cm—collected from three marke...

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitous metals widely distributed in the environment, resulting in toxic health effects. This project aims to evaluate Pb and Cd as toxic elements in 15 different tobacco cigarette brands produced and/or sold in Selangor state, Peninsular Malaysia. The concentrations of Pb and Cd in all tobacco brands tested in thi...

Continuous monitoring data can be extremely useful for assessing water-quality conditions particularly for variables, such as dissolved oxygen, that exhibit dynamic diel swings. As a means of evaluating stream dissolved oxygen criteria used by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), we compared continuous dissolved oxygen (DO) data...
