Heavy metal pollution

The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the chemical speciation of copper (Cu) and conduct an assessment of the magnitude and probability of contamination of Cu in soil samples procured from the Pb/Zn mining, at the Hich village, Dong Hy district, Thai Nguyen province, in order to furnish critical data pertinent to the environmental stewardship of soil resources within this geographical domain.

Water quality plays an immensely significant role in safeguarding the health of humans and other species on the planet. Polluted water sources can contain harmful substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria, and viruses, which can pose threats to human health and other organisms. Water quality is also a crucial factor in protecting the environment and sustaining the ecosystems of freshwater and marine environments. Polluted water sources can impact the lives of aquatic animals and plants, causing harm and endangering biodiversity by disrupting the food chain.

This research was undertaken to determine the concentrations of heavy metal ions in the surface water and sediment in water bodies that receive wastewater from the Dinh Tram and Pho Noi A industrial zones. The pollution status of the heavy metal ions and their potential ecological risks were evaluated by using the potential ecological risk index (RI) and risk assessment code (RAC).

As the urban area has high population density and intensive anthropogenic activities, there are a great number of sources of heavy metals in cities, placing a considerable influence on human health. Emissions of heavy metals may come from domestic waste, chemical industry and transportation. These emissions have been continuously adding heavy metals to soils and they will remain present for many years even after the pollution sources have been removed.

A variety of organisms have been investigated to evaluate their potential as biological indicators of different forms of pollution in the aquatic environment (e.g. review by Gunkel 1994). Certain species have been identified as being highly sensitive either in their physiological response to aquatic contaminants or in their ability to accumulate particular toxins in a dose-time dependent manner.

Pot and field trials were carried out using sediment dredged from the port of Bremen (Germany) and deposited in a settling basin near Bremen; the sediment is polluted with Cd and Zn. Five iron-bearing materials were added to the soil (1% pure Fe in soil dry matter) to immobilize the heavy metals: ‘Red mud from the aluminium industry, sludge from drinking-water treatment, bog iron ore, unused steel shot and steel shot waste.
