Microbial pollutants are a serious threat to human and environmental health in coastal areas. Based on the hypothesis that pollution from multiple sources may produce a distinct microbial signature and that microbial pollutants seem to distribute between a free-living and a particle-attached...

A long-duration laboratory study spanning more than 6 months was conducted to evaluate the effect of operating mode on the performance of sand filters for greywater treatment. Performance of saturated and unsaturated filters operated in continuous or intermittent mode was evaluated using settled...

This research objective examined the source of pollutants, water quality and water pollution level of Buyan Lake. The research conducted field observation to identify the source of pollutants, measuring the water quality and water pollution level of Lake Buyan compared to the standard of...

Dams and sluices break down the river continuum, alter the river hydrological regime, and intercept the migration processes of nutrients and pollutants. The regulation of dams and sluices will have great impacts on water quality characteristics in the river basin. In this study, variable fuzzy...

The Mississippi River is the second longest river in North America flowing from its source at Lake Itasca, Minnesota, through the center of the continental United States to its mouth, the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the world's major rivers. The objectives of this investigation were to conduct...

To control the water pollution in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), a series of measures have been enacted in recent years. The efficacy of these measures on water quality improvement is, however, currently unknown. To evaluate the variation of water quality in response to the pollution control...

The ground water quality of Okobo Local Government Area was investigated. Sixteen boreholes (BHs) water samples were collected from four zones (Okopedi, Ekeya, Ukwong and Okiuso) in Okobo. Standard analytical procedures were used to analyze the physicochemical, bacteriological and heavy metal...

Marine pollution in shallow embayments is hazardous to human and marine health. This research investigates the environmental impact of sewage discharge from coastal outfalls on the semi-enclosed-shallow Doha Bay. Such a study highlights the impact of environmental stressors on the health of such...

Nature-based greywater (GW) treatment and reuse in urban areas has become an up-and-coming option. A 14.4 m² green wall system called Total Value Wall (TVW) was installed at a terraced house in Gent (Belgium) for treating GW and reusing the effluent for toilet flushing. In a previous study, the TVW ...

Egyptian honeys are distinguished by their variety, properties, and therapeutic applications. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the quality and the functional and safety characteristics of Egyptian honey as a sensitive environmental bioindicator collected from 9 different locations in...
