Download or read book Trace Metals in a Tropical Mangrove Wetland written by Santosh Kumar Sarkar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and accessible guide covering various aspects of trace metal contamination in abiotic and biotic matrices of an iconic Indian tropical mangrove wetland – Sundarban. Divided into nine chapters, the book begins by discussing the fundamental concepts of sources, accumulation rate and significance of trace metal speciation, along with the impact of multiple stressors on trace metal accumulation, taking into account both tourist activities and the exacerbating role of climate change. The second chapter presents a detailed account of the sampling strategy and preservation of research samples, followed by exhaustive information on sediment quality assessment and ecological risk, instrumental techniques in environmental chemical analyses, quality assurance and quality control, along with the Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs). Using raw data, the sediment quality assessment indices (e.g., pollution load index, index of geoaccumulation, Nemerow Pollution Load Index etc.) and conventional statistical analyses are worked out and interpreted precisely, allowing students to readily evaluate and interpret them. This is followed by chapters devoted to trace metal accumulation in sediments and benthic organisms, as well as acid-leachable and geochemical fractionation of trace metals in sediments. The book then focuses on chemical speciation of butylin and arsenic in sediments as well as macrozoobenthos (polychaetous annelids). Finally, potential positive role of the dominant mangrove Avicennia in sequestering trace metals from rhizosediments of Sundarban Wetland is elaborately discussed. This timely reference book provides a versatile and in-depth account for understanding the emerging problems of trace metal contamination – issues that are relevant for many countries around the globe.
Download or read book Ecology of the Southern California Bight written by Murray D. Dailey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a benchmark study of one significant stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the Southern California Bight. Extending from Point Conception to the Mexican border and out to the 200-mile limit, these waters have never before been investigated in such detail, from so many points of view, by such an eminent group of scientists. The twenty-five expert contributors summarize everything known about the physical, chemical, geological, and biological characteristics of the area in individual chapters; the volume concludes with a synthesis of the information presented. In addition, chapters are devoted to the influence of humans on the marine environment and to the various laws and governmental agencies concerned with protecting it. Because Southern California is so heavily populated and because the ocean is a major recreational area for its people, the information in this unique volume will be invaluable for the region's planners and decisionmakers as well as for all those who study the globe's marine resources and ecology.

Download or read book Behaviors of Trace Metals in Environment written by Hui Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the behavior and impact of trace metals in the environment by studying typical cases from China such as the Hetao Area of the Yellow River, Shanghai, and Nanjing. Based on samples and experiments on the behavior of pollutants, it systematically discusses the regulation of trace metals’ distribution, accumulation, and migration, associated with the cause of formation demonstration. The author subsequently uses the acquired data to review the evolving trend of trace metal behaviors in natural systems (river or lake water, sediments, and soils), develops suggestions for the prevention of their negative effects, and devise treatments. Moreover, he proposes solutions to difficult research issues such as trace metal speciation extraction, and an analysis, along with operational procedures. Given its scope, the book will provide a valuable guide for researchers and engineers in relevant disciplines of the environmental sciences and engineering, and for environmental policymakers to consult in practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been considerable evidence in recent years that a significant portion of the trace metals reaching coastal waters are transported by the atmosphere. The present study had the following three purposes: to assess trace metal concentrations and enrichment factors in the nearshore atmosphere over the Georgia Bight between Charleston, South Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida; to determine the sources of the metals; and to evaluate the solubilities of some of the metals in seawater. Atmospheric trace metal concentrations and enrichment factors generally decrease from Charleston to Jacksonville. Five metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Pb), were found to be anomalously enriched over the Georgia Bight. Observations from this study suggest that seawater may influence Cu and Zn concentrations in Georgia Bight air. Solubilities of Zn and Cu in seawater are source dependent, as seen by correlation with EF/sub crust/. No significant solubility of Ni in seawater was observed. Yearly fluxes of eight trace metals from atmosphere to seawater in the Georgia Bight were estimated. These trace metal fluxes are comparable to fluxes in other areas along the east coast. The fluxes of Cu, Cd, and Zn make considerable contributions to dissolved metal levels in Georgia Bight water. An attempt to use trace metal concentrations in Spanish mosses as a means of tracing sources of trace metals over the Georgia bight was inconclusive.

This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights various aspects of geochemical and geological processes. In brief, it facilitates to understand the geochemical behavior of major, trace and rare earth elements in rocks to identify the magmatic processes involved in present-day magma generation and their relation to global tectonic regimes as well as geothermal studies. Therefore, the book provides a comprehensive view of the generation of magma types (mafic to felsic in composition) and their role in the petrogenesis. The book also covers the development of new geosoftware to effectively process the geochemical data before its interpretation.
