Geo-Accumulation Index of Manganese in Soils Due to Flooding in Boac and Mogpog Rivers, Marinduque, Philippines with Mining Disaster Exposure

open access: yesApplied Sciences (Switzerland), 2022
This paper presents the effects of flooding on the accumulation of manganese (Mn) in soils within proximity of the Boac and Mogpog rivers in Marinduque of The Philippines. Marinduque, an island province in the Philippines, experienced two catastrophic tailings storage facility (TSF) failures in the 1990s that released sulfide-rich tailings into the two

Geo-Accumulation Index of Heavy Metals in Pond Water Sediment of Raipur

open access: yesBioscience Biotechnology Research Communications, 2019
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented to replace classical teaching method with college system in UnderSediment can accumulate trace elements in the environment. An investigative study was carried out to determine the heavy metal in the pond water sediment (n=10) samples of Raipur city Chhattisgarh.

Geo-accumulation Indexes of Trace Elements in Sediments from Uranium Environments (Central Portugal)

2022
Stream sediments are usually used as a tool for contamination evaluation. The studied area is an abandoned uranium mine located in Central Portugal, in a not steep area, with altitudes ranging from 360 to 380 m. Geoaccumulation index and contamination factor have been used in the as-sessment of the degree of contamination of stream sediments with toxic

Analysis of potentially toxic elements from selected mechanical workshops using the geo-accumulation index and principal component analysis in Omu-Aran Community, Nigeria

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2023
Bioaccumulation of potentially toxic elements in soil threatens public health and the ecosystem. This study aims to assess the concentration of potentially toxic elements (chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd)) in selected automobile workshop premises in Omu-Aran, Nigeria.

The Geo-accumulation Index of Some Heavy Metals in the Roadsides Soils of Onitsha South Local Government Area Anambra State, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yesScience Journal of Chemistry, 2020
Heavy metals have a great ecological significance due to their toxicity and accumulative behaviour. Monitoring of their concentrations in the soils of our environment is very important. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) in 11 stations in Onitsha South Local Government Area, (i.e Modeebelu Avenue, Ozomagana, Zik Avenue, Port Harcourt Road, Oguta Road ...

Comparative Study of Geo-Accumulation Index and Enrichment Factor in Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Particulate Matter

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Geo-accumulation Index and Enrichment Factor were applied in source apportionment of Changchun atmospheric particulate matter. By mutual comparison with the results respectively, explored the similarities and differences. The result shows that the Geo-accumulation index and Enrichment Factors likes Zn, Cd are more serious, meanwhile the urban dust ...

A STUDY OF POLLUTION IN SEDIMENTS FROM ANZALI WETLAND WITH GEO-ACCUMULATION INDEX AND ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT

Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, 2018
The Anzali Wetland, is located in south west of the Caspian Sea, is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems in Iran. In recent decades much domestic and industrial untreated wastewater has been deposited in the wetland. This study was done to obtain a preliminary assessment of heavy metals contamination in the wetland sediments. Tests were done to

Enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index of trace metals in sediments of the ship breaking area of Sitakund Upazilla (Bhatiary–Kumira), Chittagong, Bangladesh

Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2013
Abstract This study reveals that some trace metals were found in sediments of the Sitakund Upazilla of Chittagong, Bangladesh, largely due to ship breaking activities in the area. This was seen when comparing levels of trace metals in the sediments of the study area with the recommended values of unpolluted sediments.

Assessment of air pollution in Calabar using geo-accumulation index

World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences
This study investigates the levels of airborne toxic substances in Calabar, Nigeria, using the gravitational settling method to collect airborne particles along with rainwater over a nine-month period, from January to September 2023. The collected sediments underwent spectroscopic analysis to determine concentrations of heavy metals and other toxic ...
