“…Metals can enter the environment through different pathways, of which, anthropogenic sources play a significant role of increasing metal concentrations (Hermanson, 1991;Bhattacharya et al, 2015). In particular, modern industries are, to a large extent, responsible for pollution of the environment.…”

“…Some trace metals such as copper, zinc, cobalt, and arsenic are essential elements of marine organisms in the environment, indispensable for body for normal physiological activity [ 13 ]. Nevertheless, trace metals are such as cadmium and mercury, which have no essential biological functions and are toxic even at low concentrations [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Zhangjiangkou Mangrove National Nature Reserve is a subtropical wetland ecosystem in southeast coast of China, which is of dense population and rapid development. The concentrations, sources, and pollution assessment of trace metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, Zn, As, and Hg) in surface sediment from 29 sites and the biota specimen were investigated for better ecological risk assessment and environmental management. The ranges of trace metals in mg/kg sediment were as follows: Cu (10.79–26.66), Cd (0.03–0.19), Pb (36.71–59.86), Cr (9.67–134.51), Zn (119.69–157.84), As (15.65–31.60), and Hg (0.00–0.08). The sequences of the bioaccumulation of studied metals are Zn > Cu > As > Cr > Pb > Cd > Hg with few exceptions. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis revealed that the trace metals in the studied area mainly derived from anthropogenic activities, such as industrial effluents, agricultural waste, and domestic sewage. Pollution load index and geoaccumulation index were calculated for trace metals in surface sediments, which indicated unpolluted status in general except Pb, Cr, and As.

“…Livestock manures contain considerable Cd concentrations, suggesting that they may also be an important source of Cd (Huang et al 2007;Huo et al 2010). Coal combustion, metal industry and waste incineration may also be the source of Cd (Bhattacharya et al 2015). In the present study, some industries -(textile, steel, vegetable ghee, etc.)…”

The paper describes the studies of physicochemical parameters of the water samples from Lower Dudhana Dam in parbhani district of Maharashtra State during the monsoon, winter & Sumer season. Some important parameters like temperature, pH, total hardness, Calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, Dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, chloride, total dissolved solids, fluorides & electrical conductivity were analyzed for water samples. The analytical results reveal that some treatment is required to use the water for domestic purpose.
