Book excerpt: Sewage sludge as an uncalled for product of wastewater treatment poses the challenge to society of disposing of it. Application of sewage sludge to agricultural land may be beneficial because it can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils which may enhance crop growth. While, sewage sludge contains various heavy metals and it contains a wide variety of pathogens and can be infectious for different species of animals and plants as well as for humans. Consequently environmentally sound decisions need to be based on an integrative evaluation of contaminant sources and transfer pathways. It is a need of time that phytoremediation must be approached as a multidisciplinary research effort. Success will ultimately depend on the employment of a holistic approach to integrate the work of plant biologist, soil microbiologist, agronomists, and environmental engineers.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental pollution due to release of heavy metals from various sources is a widespread problem throughout the world. This research was conducted to investigate the behavior of heavy metals released to soils from sewage-sludge application and ore mining. The distribution, chemical forms, bioavailability and microenvironment of Zn, Cu, Pb, and Ni in sewage-sludge-amended Ultisols from southeastern Nigeria, and Pb and Zn in Alfisols of an abandoned mine in northeast Iowa, were investigated using field studies and microanalytical techniques to complement standard bulk analytical methods. After 37 years of sludge amendment, the soil chemical properties had changed enough to warrant a reclassification of the Nigerian soil from an Ultisol to an Alfisol. High contents of Zn and Cu and low contents of Pb and Ni in the amended soil compared to a control soil reflected the concentrations of the metals in the sludge. Enrichment of Zn and Cu down the profile indicated that metals had moved from the zone of incorporation. At the abandoned Pb and Zn mine in Iowa, mining influenced pedogenesis in the immediate mining areas and resulted in redistribution of Pb in the soils. Pb was localized mainly in Fe oxide nodules and in residual fractions. The native vegetation had taken up more Pb and Zn at the contaminated site than at the control site. DTPA, total metal content and sequential extractions were strongly correlated with plant uptake of Zn, but none of the extractions showed a conclusive linear relationship with plant uptake of Pb. Pedological approaches offers great possibilities for assessing heavy metal problems in soils.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed wetlands are extensively applied in waste water treatment and water ecosystem restoration. However, the accumulation and migration characteristics and potential ecology risks of heavy metals, particularly in a long-running large-scale constructed wetland for wastewater treatment, are still unclear. In this study, the variation of heavy metals in the sediment-plant system of a wetland that had been in operation for 14 years was quantified. Results show that the sediments of the constructed wetland were the sink for heavy metals but with apparent difference between them. Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Cr contents were significantly increased (P 0.05) in sediments within 0-40 cm depth and Zn and Cr have even accumulated at 40-60 cm depth. Along with the surface flow direction, heavy metal concentrations mostly showed a decline trend. In comparison, Cu and Cr transported longer distance. Bioconcentration factors show that the two common wetland plants, P australis and Typha, exhibited obvious differences in enrichment performance of heavy metals, with the orders of Zn Cr > Cd > Cu > Pb > As and Cd > Zn > Cr > Cu > As > Pb, respectively. Harvested plants above ground removed a small part of heavy metals from the wetland system, with the translocation factors less than 1, indicating a suitable condition for phytostabilization. Root zone of the wetland system effectively restricted the leaching of heavy metals. Sediment organic matter was the primary environmental factor affecting the distribution and migration of heavy metals in the wetland system. The discrepancy in the migration characteristics of pollutants, especially heavy metals, should be seriously considered in the design and management of wetland systems, including highly-enrichment plants, appropriate hydraulic residence time, and effective surficial filling medium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighted in this compilation of papers is the role and importance of heavy metals in the environment. It provides up-to-date information in a field of active research and progress, where the focus is on effects and interactions between the environment and organisms, as well as contaminant dynamics. Several papers address the impact of heavy metals on our health. The influence of metals on plants is described in an exhaustive study on lichens, which have been widely used as biomonitors for environmental contamination by heavy metals. Metals are also accumulated by animals, as seen in a chapter which focusses on sediment/benthic organism interactions and biomonitoring in fish. Soil interactions are discussed, as well as regional studies of freshwater sediments and the marine environment. The final part of the book addresses a crucial problem: the management of stabilized municipal waste sludges. As a result, the most important and significant recent trends are included, emphasizing interactions with and impacts of heavy metals on humans, animals, plants and soils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil, one of the most important natural resources, is becoming degraded due to anthropogenic activities such as mining, agricultural activities, sewage sludge, fossil fuel combustion, metallurgical and chemical industries and electronics. Soil is a crucial component of rural and urban environments, and in both places land management is the key to soil quality. This series of technical notes examines the urban activities that cause soil degradation, and the management practices that protect the functions urban societies demand from soil. This technical note focuses on heavy metal soil contamination. Mining, manufacturing, and the use of synthetic products e.g. pesticides, paints, batteries, industrial waste, and land application of industrial or domestic sludge can result in heavy metal contamination of urban and agricultural soils. Heavy metals also occur naturally, but rarely at toxic levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activities have dramatically changed the composition and organisation of soils. Industrial and urban wastes, agricultural application and also mining activities resulted in an increased concentration of heavy metals in soils. How plants and soil microorganisms cope with this situation and the sophisticated techniques developed for survival in contaminated soils is discussed in this volume. The topics presented include: the general role of heavy metals in biological soil systems; the relation of inorganic and organic pollutions; heavy metal, salt tolerance and combined effects with salinity; effects on abuscular mycorrhizal and on saprophytic soil fungi; heavy metal resistance by streptomycetes; trace element determination of environmental samples; the use of microbiological communities as indicators; phytostabilization of lead polluted sites by native plants; effects of soil earthworms on removal of heavy metals and the remediation of heavy metal contaminated tropical land.
