Climate change, population growth and urbanisation contribute to an increasing demand for freshwater resources. In order to face this challenge, stormwater harvesting for aquifer storage and recovery has gained interest over the past decades. However, pollutants from various surfaces are transported with the runoff, posing a threat for receiving gr...

There is a constant need for baseline information on the mugil fish health present in the North-Eastern region of Manzala lake. This study deals with the determination of the limit of heavy metals in Manzala lake as a representation of the northeastern area of Egypt and studied its impact on mugil health. Assessment of the mugil health achieved by ...

The work was aimed to assess the heavy metals concentrations in the Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The determination of heavy metal bioaccumulation and their antioxidant alterations on Oreochromis niloticus were considered. The gonads and the liver of the fishes were analyzed for essential metals (Cu, Mn, Fe & Zn) and non-essential metals (Pb) levels ...
In Western Africa, the growth of cities has led to natural resource pollution, especially air pollution. Urban forests play a key role in filtering atmospheric particles and pollutants through the canopy before reaching the soil. This study aims to quantify heavy metal fluxes in an urban forest in the district of Abidjan in order to assess its role...

The current study was focused on selected quality parameters of water, heavy metal contents of water, sediments and fish from Poonch river. Sediments, water and fish samples were gathered including six different sites in the period of April to June 2015. During the study period the mean value recorded for water quality parameters were pH 9.20, mv O...

Accumulation of heavy metals in sh is considered a critical problem for human health. Therefore, the study aimed to quantify the concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and lead (Pb) in Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias gariepinus from two areas in Al Sharqia governorate, Egypt, from September 2017 to August 2018. A human health ri...

Distribution patterns of selected heavy metals content in sediments from the Bay of Quiberon and Gulf of Morbihan were studied to understand the current heavy metals contamination due to urbanization and mariculture activities in the coastal area. Therefore, a survey was conducted and 196 sediments collected were characterized for heavy metals cont...
Antibiotic resistance has been a topic of increasing concern for several decades. Wastewater treatment plants are one of the potential sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria. Activated sludge processes (ASP) are the most widely used biological secondary treatment processes for wastewater while anaerobic dige...
The existence of water hyacinth proliferation in wetlands of the Canal del Dique (Bolívar- Colombia) causes environmental problems because there is no final disposal of these. Therefore, it is necessary to study alternatives for its use. The objective of the study was to evaluate the behavior of the aquatic hyacinth as an adsorbent of Cr (VI) (VI) ...
