Download or read book Biomonitoring of Water and Waste Water written by Anju Agrawal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomonitoring of water quality is very much essential for assessing the overall health of water bodies and safe supply of drinking water. The chemical nature of toxicant is highly dynamic in environment with time and space whereas biological system can integrate all environmental variables over a large period of time in terms of effect that can be easily measured and quantified. In view of the above, there is a pressing need to determine the water quality of natural resources as well as drinking water based on the standard protocols and guidelines from regulatory agencies. It is clear that the synthetic chemicals are essential for our society to maintain the health and well being of the people. However, there has been a range of detrimental effects on human health and natural environment. In general, we need to improve our management of waste chemicals discharged into the air, water and soil environments. New techniques are needed to predict adverse effects before they occur and for the treatment of wastes. In addition, a range of social, political and economic factors will be needed to be taken into account in order to achieve success.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quarterly biomonitoring tests were performed for one year on composite effluent samples taken-from the Ft. Detrick (Frederick, MD) wastewater treatment plant. The cladoceran (Ceriodaphnia dubia) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) acute 48-h LC50 tests were used to evaluate the toxicity of the effluent for two quarters. The cladoceran 7-d survival and reproduction test and the fathead minnow 7-d survival and growth tests were used for two quarters. The effluent was not toxic to the cladoceran or fathead minnow when tested in both acute and chronic bioassays. One priority pollutant analysis was conducted on a composite effluent sample. The analysis showed that four (Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn) of 12 heavy metal priority pollutants were present in the effluent. The concentrations of the four heavy metals, with the exception of lead for chronic exposure, were below the U.S. EPA numerical water quality criteria for acute and chronic toxicity of the metals to freshwater organisms. The freshwater chronic criteria value for lead is 3.2 ug/L; 6 ug/L were found in the effluent sample. Two volatile organics (bromodichloromethane and dibromochloromethane) were also detected. Both halomethanes were well below the U.S. EPA numerical water quality criteria for acute toxicity to freshwater organisms; no Biomonitoring, Bioassays, Priority pollutants, Acute toxicity, Chronic toxicity, Cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, Wastewater treatment plant, WWTP. criterion is available for chronic exposure to halomethanes.

Download or read book Impacts of Biomonitoring Requirements on DoD Wastewater Treatment Facilities written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legislative emphasis on reducing the toxicity of wastewater effluent has resulted in increasingly sophisticated methods of determining toxicity. The purpose of this research project is to assess the impacts on DoD wastewater treatment facilities of one new monitoring method, biomonitoring. Biomonitoring has impacted DoD wastewater treatment facilities, however not to the degree anticipated. For bases that have been impacted, cost of contracting the tests is the primary problem associated with biomonitoring. Many bases have not been impacted because wastewater reuse has negated the need for discharge permits, and the inherent monitoring requirements. Bases subject to biomonitoring should assess water reuse as a means of wastewater disposal. Additionally, other bases have not as yet had biomonitoring requirements imposed on them. It is recommended that these bases prepare for future biomonitoring requirements by having their effluent tested to determine toxicity in anticipation of biomonitoring implementation by the states.

Download or read book Molecular Biomonitoring of Microbial Communities in Tannery Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Removal of Retanning Chemicals written by Adey Feleke Desta and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter focuses on culture-independent characterization and monitoring of microbial communities in tannery wastewater treatment system, with special reference to the degradation of two xenobiotic chemicals used in retanning processes. Molecular survey of a tannery wastewater treatment system through metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches revealed a diverse microbial community in each component of the treatment system with high gene copies for enzymes involved in the degradation of cyclic aromatic compounds such as nitrotoluene. A combination of flow cytometry and molecular fingerprinting methods was used in a lab-scale reactor to monitor the dynamics of the microbes in the sludge and the fate of two retanning chemicals. The identified key microbial communities for the removal of the two xenobiotic chemicals belong to members of the group Proteobacteria and the phylum Bacteroidetes.
Download or read book Riverine Ecosystem Management written by Stefan Schmutz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book surveys the frontier of scientific river research and provides examples to guide management towards a sustainable future of riverine ecosystems. Principal structures and functions of the biogeosphere of rivers are explained; key threats are identified, and effective solutions for restoration and mitigation are provided. Rivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. They increasingly suffer from pollution, water abstraction, river channelisation and damming. Fundamental knowledge of ecosystem structure and function is necessary to understand how human acitivities interfere with natural processes and which interventions are feasible to rectify this. Modern water legislation strives for sustainable water resource management and protection of important habitats and species. However, decision makers would benefit from more profound understanding of ecosystem degradation processes and of innovative methodologies and tools for efficient mitigation and restoration. The book provides best-practice examples of sustainable river management from on-site studies, European-wide analyses and case studies from other parts of the world. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of aquatic ecology, river system functioning, conservation and restoration, to postgraduate students, to institutions involved in water management, and to water related industries.
