<p>Across Europe there are 2.5 million potentially contaminated sites, approximately one third have already been identified and around 15% have been sanitized. Phytoremediation is a well-established technique to tackle this problem and to rehabilitate soil. However, remediation methods, such as biological treatments with microorganisms or phytoremediation with trees, are still relatively time consuming. A fast monitoring of changes in heavy metal content over time in contaminated soils with hyperspectral spectroscopy is one of the first key factors to improve and control existing bioremediation methods.</p><p>At former sewage farms near Ragow (Brandenburg, Germany), 110 soil samples with different contamination levels were taken at a depth between 15-20 cm. These samples were prepared for hyperspectral measurements using the HySpex system under laboratory conditions, combing a VNIR (400-1000 nm) and a SWIR (1000-2500 nm) line-scan detector. Different spectral pre-processing methods, including continuum removal, first and second derivatives, standard normal variate, normalisation and multiplicative scatter correction, with two established estimation models such as Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Random Forest Regression (RFR), were applied to predict the heavy metal concentration (Ba, Ni, Cr, Cu) of this specific Technosol. The coefficient of determination (R2) shows for Ba and Ni values between 0.50 (RMSE: 9%) and 0.61 (RMSE: 6%) for the PLSR and between 0.84 (RMSE: 0.03%) and 0.91 (RMSE: 0.02%) for the RFR model. The results for Cu and Cr show values between 0.57 (RMSE: 17.9%) and 0.69 (RMSE: 15%) for the PLSR and 0.86 (0.12%) and 0.93 (0.01%) for the RFR model. The pre-processing method, which improve the robustness and performance of both models best, is multiplicative scatter correction followed by the standard normal variate for the first and second derivatives. Random Forest in a first approach seems to deliver better modeling performances. Still, the pronounced differences between PLSR and RFR fits indicate a strong dependence of the results on the respective modelling technique. This effect is subject to further investigation and will be addressed in the upcoming analysis steps.</p>

A study was conducted on the proximate composition and heavy metal concentration of Amblypharyngodon mola and Channa punctatus collected from pond water and open water in Mymensingh. The proximate composition analysis result showed -protein, lipid, moisture and ash content (%) of pond water A. mola were 20.26±0.63, 6.70±0.17, 66.40±1.51 and 2.55±0.58, respectively and for the fish caught from open water the values were 19.66±0.75, 5.81±0.18, 63.03±0.82 and 2.92±0.15, respectively. On the other hand, protein, lipid, moisture and ash content (%) of pond water C. punctatus found 23.83±1.07, 5.91±0.11, 64.44±1.87 and 3.23±0.11, respectively whereas the values for the fish caught from open water were 22.21±0.66, 5.43±0.19, 62.73±1.65 and 3.67±0.47, respectively. Arsenic (As) concentration of A. mola was higher in open water fishes (0.23±0.05 μg g-1) than the fishes of pond water (0.14±0.03 μg g-1). Cd concentration of pond water C. punctatus was found 0.21±0.04 μg g-1 whereas open water fishes contained 0.28±0.06 μg g-1. Copper (Cu) concentration of pond water and open water A. mola was 0.27±0.07 μg g-1 and 0.32±0.04 μg g-1, respectively. Heavy metal concentration of A. mola and C. punctatus was within permissible limits except Cd. The result revealed that open water fishes had higher concentration of heavy metals in their muscle than the fishes of pond water. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 12(1&2): 91-99, 2019
