With the rapid development of city economy and increasing of city population , the impact of human activities on the environmental quality of the city is becoming more and more serious. The influence of human activity under the evolution model of city geological environment,has increasingly become the focus of attention. To make the analysis of these data through the concentration of heavy metals in the surface soil of the city, the location of sampling points and heavy metal concentrations of background value, establish a detection model of heavy metal pollution source about city surface soil.

The Impact

The farmland soils around three typical livestock farms in Jilin province were studied to elucidate the impact of farms on heavy metal pollution in surrounding farmland soils. The results showed that the average content of Cd was maximal in the soils around cattle farm (0.29 mg kg-1); the average value of Pb was highest in the soils around the pig farm; and Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr were all highest in the soils around the chicken farm. The distribution of heavy metals in the soils around different livestock farms varied greatly. The contents of Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr decreased in the same order: chicken farm> pig farm > cattle farm, but Pb was pig farm> chicken farm> cattle farm, and Cd was cattle farm> pig farm> chicken farm. These results indicated that the livestock farms did not cause significant heavy metal pollution in its surrounding agricultural soils, but the accumulation of heavy metals caused by farms should arouse the attention.

Abstract Background In the last few decades, the air, water, and soil are contaminated due to different anthropogenic activities and severely affect the environmental quality. Pollution is the harmful effect and creates undesirable changes in the land use and land cover pattern. The growth of urbanization leads to the degradation of the ecosystem and ultimately affects the living and non-living organisms. In view of these, the present investigation is carried out to assess the heavy metal pollution in major towns due to the impact of urbanization in Kannur district and desirable conclusions were drawn. Results The results shows that higher level of heavy metal pollution is observed in major towns of Kannur district. Conclusion The heavy metal contamination in the major towns of Kannur district is mainly due the anthropogenic activities. The discharge of domestic effluents and industrial waste is the major source of heavy metal pollution. In-depth studies and proper waste management plans are needed to decrease the level of heavy metal contamination prevailing in the study area.

AbstractPreservation of the soil resources stability is of paramount importance for the ecosystem, particularly in the current era of environmental change, which presents a severe pollution burden (e.g. by heavy metals) to soil ecosystems and its fauna. Gut microbiomes are becoming recognized as important players in organism health, with comprehension of their perturbations in the polluted environment offering new insights into the nature and extent of heavy metal effects on the health of soil biota. Our aim was therefore to evaluate the effect of environmentally relevant heavy metal concentrations of cadmium (Cd) on the earthworm gut microbiota. Cd exposure led to perturbations of several heavy metal resistant taxa as well as taxa able to bind heavy metals, revealing the potential of the earthworm-microbiota system in overcoming humancaused heavy metal pollution. An ‘indicator species analysis’ linked bacterial generaPaenibacillusandFlavobacterium, and members of the order Actinomycetales with Cd treatment, suggesting the possible use of these bacterial taxa as biomarkers of exposure for Cd stressed soils. The results of this study will be essential to understanding of the soil fauna health, under anthropogenic disturbance, and will have implications for environmental monitoring and protection of soil resources.ImportanceSoil heavy metal pollution presents a severe burden for soil invertebrates and can have impact on their health, which in turn reflects on the health of the entire ecosystem. Gut microbiome is recognized as a central driver of the host health and its shifts can have severe consequences for the host. In this study we investigated the impact of cadmium (Cd) on earthworm gut microbiota, in a controlled experiment using cutting edge next generation sequencing and state of the art bioinformatics tools. The significance of this study is in identifying the gut bacterial taxa which are indicators for Cd treatment and are potential biomarkers of exposure to Cd. Therefore, this study contributes to develop efficient measures to qualify environmental pollution and to protect fragile soil resources and ultimately human health.

Human activities in coastal areas have the potential to cause heavy metal pollution. The impact of heavy metal pollution causes the accumulation of heavy metals in the body of marine biota, including the Gonggong Snail (S. Canarium). This study aims to analyze the concentration of heavy metals Pb in Gonggong snails in two different characteristics of aquatic ecosystems. Purposive sampling used as a sampling method of Gonggong Snail. The Analysis of heavy metal concentrations from Pb using the ICP (Inductively coupled plasma). The results showed the heavy metal concentration of Pb was 0.427 mg/kg for Malang Rapat Village and 0.71 mg/kg for Tanjung Siambang village. The difference between the two locations possibly due to differences in the aquatic characteristics at the study site. Aktivitas manusia di kawasan pesisir berpotensi menyebabkan terjadinya pencemaran logam berat. Dampak dari pencemaran logam berat dapat menyebabkan terakumulasinya logam berat pada tubuh biota laut, salah satunya yaitu Siput Gonggong (S.Canarium). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsentrasi logam berat Pb pada Siput Gonggong yang terdapat pada dua ekosistem perairan yang memiliki karakteristik perairan berbeda. Pengambilan sampel siput gonggong dilakukan dengan cara purposive sampling. Analisis konsentrasi logam berat menggunakan bantuan alat ICP (Inductively coupled plasma). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi logam berat Pb sebesar 0,427 mg/kg untuk Desa Malang Rapat dan 0,71 mg/kg untuk desa Tanjung Siambang. Terjadi perbedaan antara kedua lokasi kemungkinan dikarnakan adanya perbedaan karakteristik perairan pada lokasi penelitian.

Purpose. This paper aims to reflect the extent of the impact of the Artana mine on heavy metal pollution of the waters of the Marec river. Mineralogical pollution of this river resulted in almost total degradation of biota. Methods. To be as realistic as possible in assessing the water quality of the Marec river and of a single spring located in the research area and used for drinking, we have applied the standard methods ISO 5667-6 for surface water and ISO 5667-11 for groundwater. The sampling and the quantity of the samples, as well as their transportation, was done in full compliance with the ISO 5667-1.3 method. Whereas, the conservation of samples taken for the determination of heavy metals is done according to the APHA conservation procedure. For the extraction (mineralization) of heavy metals in the samples taken, the EPA-3015A method was applied, while for the determination of the concentration of heavy metals the SAA (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry) measurement technique was applied. Findings. As a result of the industrial activity of the Artana mine, it has been ascertained that the main causes of the pollution of the Marec river waters and the habitat around it is the mineral exploitation activity in this industrial complex. Analysis of water samples discharged from the mine, flotation and drainage of landfills reflect the real state of heavy metals concentration in the Marec river. Originality. In order for the results to realistically reflect the degree of heavy metals concentration in the waters of this river, we have implemented existing and advanced analytical techniques. Practical implications. The water samples from the Marec river were taken and analyzed in January and July 2020. The analysis performed showed significant exceedance of heavy metals concentration in all sampling sites located in the studied industrial area.
