HEAVY METAL POLLUTANTS IN MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM. Mangrove is an unique tropical ecosystem with the marine, riverine, terrestrial and atmosphericcomponents influencing the occurrence, speciation, bioavailability and fate of trace chemicals. Mangrove ecosystem are one of the most threatened tropical environment due to habitat loss, aquaculture expansion, overharvesting and increase of pollution load. In this paper, the role of mangrove to act as a sink of pollutants, accumulation and biomagnifications of heavy metals is discussed.

Chromium is one of the most common heavy metal pollutants of soil and groundwater. The potential of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough in heavy metal bioremediation such as Cr(VI) reduction was reported previously; however, experimental evidence of key functional genes involved in Cr(VI) resistance are largely unknown.

AbstractChromium (Cr) is a common toxic heavy metal that is widely used in all kinds of industries, causing a series of environmental problems. Nanoscale zero- valent iron (nZVI) is considered to be an ideal remediation material for contaminated soil, especially for heavy metal pollutants. As a material of low toxicity and good activity, nZVI has been widely applied in the in situ remediation of soil hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)) with mobility and toxicity in recent years. In this paper, some current technologies for the preparation of nZVI are summarized and the remediation mechanism of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil is proposed. Five classified modified nZVI materials are introduced and their remediation processes in Cr(vi)-contaminated soil are summarized. Key factors affecting the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil by nZVI are studied. Interaction mechanisms between nZVI-based materials and Cr(vi) are explored. This study provides a comprehensive review of the nZVI materials for the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil, which is conducive to reducing soil pollution.

In the South Coastal Forest area, West Sumatra, a luminous mushroom with the species Neonothopanus Sp. This research was conducted with the aim of seeing the effect of heavy metals on the bioluminescence reaction of luminous mushrooms. Starting from the effect of heavy metal concentrations on the intensity and inhibition coefficient of luminous mushroom biolumination. From the measurement results, the maximum intensity value of luminous mushrooms is 499.6 au occurring at a wavelength of 505 nm. At a wavelength of 505 nm, visible light is produced in green. The results obtained are in accordance with observations, because the light emitted by the glowing mushroom is green. If the concentration of heavy metals is greater, the intensity of the bioluminescent fungus (Neonothopanus sp) will decrease. The type of heavy metal affects the intensity of the fungus biolumination. The greatest decrease in intensity occurred in copper (Cu) and iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb). If the heavy metal concentration is greater, the inhibition coefficient will be smaller. The greatest inhibition coefficient due to the presence of heavy metals occurs in copper (Cu) then iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and the smallest is lead (Pb).

Consider heavy metal pollution of topsoil in the city of world today is a hot science research project. A fuzzy clustering algorithm l is constructed ed by analyzing the propagation characteristics of heavy metal pollutants. Considering topography, areas, factories, roads, , irredentist, etc. we calculate a evaluation on comprehensive pollution, and the degree of heavy metals pollution, by using fuzzy clustering and fuzzy AHP. The results show that the index of the comprehensive pollution of heavy metals on the region, and the weight of pollution of each category.
