Biological treatment systems are often applied for the treatment of domestic wastewaters. These systems are limited when applied to the treatment of hospital wastewaters. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of natural lagoon system, applied to treat combined wastewaters from hospital and from residences of nursing students. Results show that the lagoon system remove 98% of COD, 87% of BOD, 95% of TSS and 92% of total nitrogen. Arsenic and copper are removed (40%), but lead and cadmium concentrations increase in the effluent. Globally, the concentrations of nutrients and heavy metals, in the effluents, are inferiors to the limit values proposed by the Ivorian guidelines for water pollution. However, the reuse of effluents for irrigation of crops likely to be eaten uncooked is not recommended because of the high concentration of fecal bacteria (1.00 x 105 CFU E. coli. 100 mL-1. The disinfection process must be implemented after biological treatment to ensure the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms present in the effluent and sludge, before their reuse in agriculture.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129150533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, three distinguish sites site 1, site 2 and site 3 having the coordinates (26°25ʹ40.46ʺN 78°54ʹ1.94ʺE), (26°26ʹ28.9ʺN 78°55ʹ23.41ʺE) and (26°36ʹ36.68ʺN 78°53ʹ11.03ʺE) respectively, of the Bhind district, MP, were selected for ravine status. All the sites were similar vegetation in the case of flora and fauna along with crops. Observation based on native peoples (Σn=600) and GPS images of all sites revealed that decreasing the ravines belts/area along with loss of vegetation. The accurate validation of ground truth observation was analyzed through satellite data’s which were collected by using Clouds-free Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI). The land sat sensor have 30 meters of spatial resolution respectively, while acquisition data for Land sat–5, Land sat–7 and Land sat–8 were 21/1/1992, 24/1/2002 and 26/2/2017 respectively. The analysis of image revealed that about 41% of ravine area were at 1992 out of the total LC like built-up, water bodies, agriculture land, barren land and flood plains area decreased up to 29.81% in the year of 2017. Among the studied parameters, agriculture land was increased from 1992 to 2017 (i.e. 8% increase). Maximum (70%) of built-up area were observed in the year of 2017 as compared with 1992, followed by barren land (≈32%) and ravine area (≈28%). Ravine soil loss was directly related with increase built-up area and agricultural land; both the activities are based on human development and thus ways these activities could be induce the development of barren land and also responsible for ravine loss.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127794332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adverse impacts have been found in marine organisms worldwide. Currently, their degraded products-microplastics and nanoplastics-represent emerging plastic issues. Microplastic pollution has drawn attentions in many research fields and the general public. Many types of literature have documented their adverse impacts, distribution, and origins. Hence, many review studies have been conducted on microplastics rather than nanoplastics. Therefore, this review is focused on nanoplastic contamination in marine ecosystems, their origins, distributions, fate, and impacts on marine organisms. This review paper provides an overall picture of nanoplastic pollution on a global scale. The impacts of nanoplastic on marine organisms gene expression at the cellular and tissue levels are evaluated. Moreover, the adverse effects of nanoplastics on the embryonic stages, growth, and mortality of marine species are also discussed. The present review also gathers information to generate future research perspectives, and aims to highlight the need for researching on nanoplastics in the aquatic environment while providing critical perspectives for setting future research objectives.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124727374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDAX and its physical parameters were analyzed. Different factors such as pH, contact time, initial concentration and temperature were studied. Maximum adsorption was taken place at the optimum pH of 6 and the equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin Isotherm models. Among those isotherm models Langmuir and Temkin were fitted well with good correlation coefficient (R2). The negative values of ΔG⁰ for all temperature shows the adsorption process for cadmium(II) ion was spontaneous in nature and feasible. The negative value of enthalpy change ΔH⁰ shows the adsorption process is exothermic and the positive value of ΔS⁰ indicates the disorderness or randomness process of adsorption. The positive value of Ea indicates the higher solution temperature favors the adsorption of metal ion onto RCC. The experimental data were analyzed by kinetic studies such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion models. Desorption was also studied and the recovery of the adsorbent was found to be 10%. Thus on the basis of these investigations the present study concludes that the raw Cymbopogon citratus (RCC) was found to be highly effective, nontoxic, environmental friendly and low cost adsorbent for the removal of toxic Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"22 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114043758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the emergence of new, efficient, and clean technologies for cooking and heating, biomass is still the primary source of fuel for poor and rural communities in several low and middle income countries around the world. This review presents the chemical composition, the health effects, and the key factors that would enhance the exposure to the emissions of high concentrations of particulate matter, inorganic, and organic chemical compounds from the use of biomass for cooking and heating. It also reviews a number of intervention programs that have been implemented by governments, non-governmental organizations, and other philanthropic societies, to mitigate the possible health risks due to biomass burning. Such programs include distribution of new cook stoves, more efficient cook stoves, cook stoves with chimneys, distribution of cleaner fuel such as LPG, and electrification, among others. This paper is a narrative literature review with some critical aspects that highlights the updated works published in the past 15 years which are related to the health hazards and intervention programs to mitigate the adverse impact of biomass burning in household environment. It was found that, despite the several efforts and initiatives taken to mitigate biomass environmental pollution, not all programs have met the desired expectations for the reduction in residents exposure to biomass burning within the World Health Organization (WHO) limits. Much more work is required to be done collectively around the globe to improve the efficiency of sustained adoption of such new interventions by the poor and rural communities.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129680926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among many, air quality is probably the most important and common one due to limitation in natural sources and the increased use of energy in buildings and transportation. Many cities have considered including urban vegetation in their sustainable development plans to abate the effects of climate change as well as for beautification of neighborhoods to motivate positive behavior of their citizens. Trees have been known for cleaning air by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen reducing their impact on health and materials. Moreover, trees can directly affect particulate matter concentration by (1) removing particles, (2) emitting particles or (3) by the re-suspension of particles on the plant surface. This study presents the air quality impacts of urban vegetation in the city of Doha (State of Qatar) under arid conditions, which can be mainly described with high temperature, high relative humidity and high concentration of particulate matters originating from multiple sources. Three abundant local urban tree species were selected for this study, namely Acacia (Wattles), Ziziphus (Sidra) and Phoenix dactylifera (palm date) trees. Their environmental economic value (EEV) was evaluated and compared based on their capability to abate gaseous and particulate pollutants utilizing the application of the National Tree Benefit Calculator. To this end, Acacia was found to have the highest EEV under Doha city’s weather conditions.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134372084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
