Environmental regulations on landfills contain detailed instructions for the monitoring of pollution from leachate on water, air, and soil. However, references to the impact of landfills on the landscape and the need to monitor the surrounding vegetation are described only in general terms. Studies have indicated that near-surface pollution events, which are not necessarily captured by existing regulatory monitoring schemes, have affected the vegetation in the vicinity of landfills. Indications for the effects of pollution emanating from landfills include the retreat of sensitive and native plant species, the abundance of halophytes or nitrophilous plants, and the prevalence of other invasive plant species, which can spread to adjacent ecosystems. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, a comprehensive synthesis of landfill plant-based biomonitoring results has not yet been reported. The advantage of biomonitoring lies in its ability to assess the quality of the environment as perceived by living organisms. This would facilitate the determination of the response of plants to departures from natural conditions, detection of trends occurring in ecosystems, and adoption of management practices to prevent or mitigate degradation of the environment. Thus, to detect such effects on the flora surrounding a landfill, this article recommends that biomonitoring is utilized in environmental regulations to complement existing monitoring techniques.

“…Once in the fish body, heavy metals replace important minerals for vital activity and block biological functions, affecting physiological and biochemical parameters [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Therefore, fish are a convenient test object for studying water pollution [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Nowadays, the problem of inland water pollution is acute. It is caused by vast industrial growth and agricultural intensification. Concentrations of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, and Kwere determined in the muscles, liver, and gonads sabrefish from Rybinsk Reservoir areas with different anthropogenic loads. The tissue samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. Heavy metals accumulated more intensively in the body of fish from more polluted areas of the reservoir. Among the analyzed elements, the maximum accumulation levels were found for K, Zn, and Fe and the minimum levels were observed for Cd and Pb. The gonads contained the largest concentration of Cd and Mn, the muscles contained the highest concentrations of Mg, and the other elements mainly accumulated in the liver of sabrefish. The THQ and HI values for all elements did not exceed 1, which suggests that there is no potential non-carcinogenic risk to human health. The target values of carcinogenic risk (TR) for cadmium ranged from 8.32 × 10−6 to 1.22 × 10−4 in the muscles. The increased content of cadmium in the gonads of sabrefish not only poses a risk to human health, but also to the reproduction of this species in the Rybinsk Reservoir.

“…Lakes among other aquatic environments are comparatively more stagnant and thus the impact of human activities on their water quality is greater in comparison to rivers. While investigating the water quality in the lakes, it is important to evaluate the biological, physical, and chemical parameters of the environment and their changes over time (Kaymak et al, 2021). Numerous research studies have been conducted so far to understand the causes of coastal pollution around the recreational waters, to find measures for its prevention, and to accurately monitor BWQ.…”

Monitoring bathing water quality (BWQ) is highly important in Turkey both for public health issues and tourism income. Lake Van is one of the largest lakes of Turkey and serves as one of the most important tourist attractions in the eastern part of Turkey. This study aims to assess critical bathing sites in Lake Van by using historical BWQ data that was collected twice a month during the swimming season from June 15 to August 31, between the years 2010 and 2020. To avoid public health hazards, it is very important to determine the spatial dimension of inland water pollution and provide visual tools for its presentation. Geostatistical data analysis and the determination of critical locations have been done by a spatial interpolation method, named Probability Kriging (PK) using Geographic Information System (GIS) based software ArcMap 10. Probability maps for exceeding the threshold values identified for the two microbiological water quality parameters of Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci (IE) were generated, and used for the identification of four critical regions: İskele (4), west side of Gevaş (1), Edremit (3) and Muradiye/Erciş (7). Insufficient wastewater treatment plant capacity serving to high population in these regions may indicate the most pressing issues disturbing the BWQ.
