concentrations of heavy metals and aquatic macrophytes of govind ballabh pant sagar an anthropogenic lake affected by coal mining effluent. | five heavy metals cu, cd, mn, pb and hg were found in high concentration from three sampling sites located in asia's largest anthropogenic lake govind ballabh pant gbp sagar. concentrations of these heavy metals were measured in water, bottom sediment and in different parts of the aquatic macrophytes collected from the reservoir. plants collected from the lake were eichhornia crassipes, azolla pinnata, lemna minor, spirodela polyrrhiza, potamogeton pectinatus, marsilea quadrifolia, pistia strati ... | 2008 | 17674134 |
phytoremediation of heavy metals in a tropical impoundment of industrial region. | aquatic pollution poses a serious challenge to the scientific community worldwide, since lakes or reservoirs find multifarious use and most often their water is used for drinking, bathing, irrigation, and aquaculture. nine metals and several physicochemical parameters, from four sampling sites in a tropical lake receiving the discharges from a thermal power plant, a coal mine, and a chlor-alkali industry, were studied from 2004 to 2005. pertaining to metal pollution, the site most polluted with ... | 2010 | 19430918 |
heavy metals in water, sediments and wetland plants in an aquatic ecosystem of tropical industrial region, india. | concentrations of heavy metals (cu, cr, fe, pb, zn, hg, ni, and cd) and macronutrients (mn) were measured in industrial effluents, water, bottom sediments, and wetland plants from a reservoir, govind ballabh (g.b.) pant sagar, in singrauli industrial region, india. the discharge point of a thermal power plant, a coal mine, and chlor-alkali effluent into the g.b. pant sagar were selected as sampling sites with one reference site in order to compare the findings. the concentrations of heavy metals ... | 2009 | 18998227 |
