“…Awomeso et al [6] also found that the soil affected by industrial effluent contained higher concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb, Cu and Zn as compared with the reference soil. The results of the current study concluded that discharging the industrial effluents into soils increased enriched levels of Pb, Zn and Cu as well as enhanced their concentrations in the potentially labile pool that may be responsible for occurring potential toxic impacts on environmental quality through remobilization of such heavy metals.…”

“…Therefore, in addition to increasing heavy metals levels, the accumulation of such effluents on the soil surface might change the physico-chemical properties of the soil, which are responsible for altering the forms of heavy metals and thus increased or decreased heavy metals mobility. The soil received industrial effluents can be considered a source of pollutants as well as they have the ability to transport contaminants into the groundwater and the food chain, creating serious human health issues [5,6]. Several investigators reported that the disposal of industrial effluents into soil leads to the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and subsequently, it could result in higher than normal concentrations of heavy metals in plant tissues [6][7][8].…”

“…Therefore, potential toxic effects of heavy metals are possible on environmental quality. In a study conducted by Awomeso et al [6] to investigate impact of industrial effluents on water, soils and plants, industrial effluents resulted in increasing metal levels higher than the recommended limits in effluent discharges in all the investigated samples in the study area. So, it is of importance to assess the levels and mobility of heavy metals in dumpsite soils located in urban areas for the…”

Heavy metals in the site received industrial effluents were investigated to assess the pollution levels, distribution of metal among solid-phase fractions and possible metal sources. The soil samples at different depths of 0-5, 5-25 and 25-50 cm were collected and analyzed for Fe, Mn, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni and Pb. Among all metals, Cd content was not detected in all soil samples. The average contents of Pb and Zn are higher than the corresponding values of common range in earth crust. Meanwhile, the maximum contents of Cu and Zn are higher than those of Dutch optimum value but lower that the Dutch protection act target value. The maximum contents of Cu, Pb and Zn are higher than the average shale value. The most investigated heavy metals are mostly found in the potentially labile pool (>50.0%) including metal bound to carbonate, Fe/Mn oxides, or organically fractions. Enrichment factor (EF) in combination with multivariate analysis including principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) suggest that Mn and Ni associated with Fe in the soil samples were primarily originated from lithogenic sources. Pb was largely derived only from anthropogenic source, while Cu and Zn in the soil samples were controlled by the mixed natural and anthropogenic sources. These results suggest that discharging the industrial effluents into dumping site increased pollution level of Pb, Zn and Cu as well as enhanced their potentially labile pool that may be responsible for occurring potential toxic impacts on environmental quality.

“…For example, the Gombak River in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is under influence due to population status of the area (Zubaidah et al, 2011). Untreated domestic and industrial wastes have an effect on the water quality of the Nhue River in Hanoi, Vietnam (Kikuchi et al, 2009), the Cuvum and Adyar Rivers in Chennai, India (Gowri and Ramachandran, 2001), the Ibese and Ikopoba Rivers in Nigeria (Awomeso et al, 2009) and the Modjo, Kebena, Akaki, Chacha, Megecha, Wabe, Ghibe, Dabena and Sor Rivers in Ethiopia (Baye, 2006). And according to Negash et al (2011), the quality of the Beressa river water for irrigation and other domestic uses is under problem because of improper waste disposal and management.…”

The problem of environmental pollution is not simple and easy to ignore because it affects the survival and normal functioning of an ecosystem by changing the overall healthy interaction between its components and after once it occurs, will be difficult to control. Fortunately, in the town of Debre Berhan (Tebasie), it is a common phenomenon due to the discharge of untreated liquid and solid wastes from industrial and municipal activities. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the status of Beressa River and to reveal the effects of industrial and municipal discharges on the water quality of the river for irrigation and other domestic uses. After selecting six different sampling sites depending on the suspected and identified sources of pollution, the river water was analyzed for different parameters like temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), oxygen demand [biological oxygen demands (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD)], total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), PO 4 3-, SO 4 2-, HCO 3-, NH 4 + , NO 3-, Cl-B, basic cations (Na, K, Ca and Mg), heavy metals (Cr, Pd, Cd, Ni, Hg and As) and micro nutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn). The water had no problem related to temperature, pH and EC. However, the COD, BOD, PO 4 3-, TSS, TDS, Pb and Hg contents at different site were above their respected maximum permissible limit but the rest detections were below the concerned allowable value while requiring an extra attention for restoring the quality with the control or avoidance of further deteriorations.
