22 hours ago · The heavy metals concentration mean during the two seasons exceeded the surface water quality standard for heavy metals contamination as established by the WHO, USEPA, and the Indonesian government. This suggests that the river water was polluted or at unacceptable levels, which could potentially result in adverse effects on aquatic organisms.
3 days ago · Heavy metals (HMs) in aquatic environments are characterized by high toxicity, a propensity for bioaccumulation, and non-degradability, and pose significant risks to biological communities. Previous studies of HMs in lakes have shown that the physical and chemical characteristics of the lake water may control both the migration of HMs in the sediments and the concentration of heavy metals in ...
4 days ago · The low-cost agro adsorbents have shown efficient adsorption capacities towards removing various organic and hazardous water pollutants. With a few exceptions, majority of adsorbents have demonstrated heavy metals, dyes and phenol removal efficiencies exceeding 90%.
5 days ago · Heavy metal (loid) (HM) contamination is a significant threat to wetland ecosystem. However, contamination risks of HMs in overlying water of small wetlands, which are easily ignored because of their minor occupancy in an overall area, are nearly unknown.

4 days ago · NOVELTY. The adoption of ecological or nature-based approaches for treating textile industry wastewater poses significant challenges. Despite laboratory and field demonstrations showcasing the potential of macrophytes for remediating metal-polluted wastewater, this study investigates the Phragmites australis to address heavy metal contamination in wastewater.
3 days ago · These laboratory data were applied for the calculation of heavy metal pollution indices such as Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI), Heavy Metal Evaluation Index (HEI), and Contamination Index (Cd). The multiple approach used to evaluate the metal indices identifies that 80 % of HPI, 85 % of HEI, and 95 % of Cd for groundwater samples mostly classified as “lowto medium” class.
