The application of sewage sludge or biosolids on soils has been widespread in agricultural areas. However, depending on their characteristics, they may cause increase in heavy metal concentration of treated soils. In general, domestic biosolids have lower heavy metal contents than industrial ones. Origin and treatment method of biosolids may markedly influence their characteristics. The legislation that controls the levels of heavy metal contents in biosolids and the maximum concentrations in soils is still controversial. In the long-term, heavy metal behavior after the and of biosolid application is still unknown. In soils, heavy metals may be adsorbed via specific or non-specific adsorption reactions. Iron oxides and organic matter are the most important soil constituents retaining heavy metals. The pH, CEC and the presence of competing ions also affect heavy metal adsorption and speciation in soils. In solution, heavy metals can be present either as free-ions or complexed with organic and inorganic ligands. Generally, free-ions are more relevant in environmental pollution studies since they are readily bioavailable. Some computer models can estimate heavy metal activity in solution and their ionic speciation. Thermodynamic data (thermodynamic stability constant), total metal and ligand concentrations are used by the GEOCHEM-PC program. This program allows studying heavy metal behavior in solution and the effect of changes in the conditions, such as pH and ionic strength and the application of organic and inorganic ligands caused by soil fertilization.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to the accumulation of heavy metals in urban areas. The distribution and health risk of heavy metals in soil and street dust were studied by collecting the samples in pairs from different land uses in Changsha, China. The results showed that the average contents of the heavy metals Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr and Ni in the soil were 45.3, 0.69, 46.3, 220.4, 128.7 and 32.9 mg·kg−1, and the corresponding heavy metal contents in the street dust were 130.1, 3.9, 130.8, 667.2, 223.2, 50.5 mg·kg−1, respectively. The soils in the parks and roadsides have higher heavy metal contents than those in the residential and agricultural areas. The street dust collected from parks, roadsides and residential areas contained higher heavy metal contents than agricultural areas. Significant correlations were found between heavy metals, suggesting similar sources. However, most of the heavy metals in the soil were uncorrelated with those in the street dust. The contents of heavy metals in soil are the results of long-term pollution. Street dust is easily affected by natural or human disturbances, reflecting pollution emissions in a short period. The health risks posed by heavy metals in the soil are acceptable, but the street dust may threaten children’s health, especially in residential areas. Pb, Cr and Cd are the main risk contributors. Reducing the emissions from industrial plants and traffic may reduce the risk of exposure to heavy metals in the street dust.

Abstract The study was conducted to investigate heavy metal contents namely, Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), and Manganese (Mn) from surface sediment and water samples collected from the Ujjani Reservoir. The concentrations (mg kg− 1) of Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn in sediment detected were 4455.0, 184.05, 97.4, 1090.5 respectively, while in water metal contents (mg l− 1) Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn were 3.05, 0.5, 0.82, and 2.56 correspondingly. The contents of metals in the studied samples showed a descending order such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu. It was observed that the mean concentrations of Fe, Cu, and Mn were more in sediment and water, whereas, Zn contents were detected lesser than the standard levels proposed by USEPA 2004. The sediment pollution analysis was achieved using a Pollution load index (PLI), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo) and Potential ecological risk index (RI). Similarly, risk of metals in water was evaluated using Average absorption dose (ADD), Hazardous quotient (HQ), and Hazardous index (HI). In our study, the ADD, HQ and HI values for metals were lower than 1, indicating that there is no health risk associated with studied heavy metals present in surface water. Also sediment quality assessment shows that there is minor ecological risk of studied heavy metals. Even though, the Ujjani Reservoir has a lower ecological risk, its water and sediment quality is declining day by day. Therefore, there is a need to make a policy for ecological restoration to avoid further damage to the ecosystem and human beings.

The article focuses on the study of change of containing heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, cadmium, lead, arsenic) in the abiotic and biotic components of the Serepok river (Vietman) influenced by wastewater discharge from industrial areas. Heavy metal content was determined in the river water and bottom sediments in the four zones: above and within the boundaries of industrial regions Xoa Phu and Tam Thang and in two water reservoirs situated below the boundaries of those industrial areas. Tilapia Galilean ( Sarotherodon galilaeus ), Hemibagrus ( Hemibagrus ), and sazan ( Cyprinus carpio ) caught in these areas were the hydrobionts under study in which liver, gills, skeleton and muscles accumulation of heavy metals was detected. In the organs of fish caught in the river within industrial region, heavy metals concentration was 3-7 times higher. The greatest concentration of heavy metals was found in the liver and gills of fish caught in the boundaries of industrial regions, the least concentration was in the muscles. In most cases, significant correlation between heavy metal concentration in organs of fishes and in river water, bottom sediments has been revealed.

Heavy metal ions contamination has become more serious which is caused by the releasing of toxic water from industrial area and landfill that are very harmful to all living organism especially human and can even cause death if contaminated in small amount of heavy metal concentration. Currently, peoples are using classic method namely electrochemical treatment, chemical oxidation/reduction, chemical precipitation and reverse osmosis to eliminate the metal ions from toxic water. Unfortunately, these methods are costly and not environmentally friendly as compared to bioadsorption method, where agricultural waste is used as biosorbent to remove heavy metals. Two types of agricultural waste used in this research namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (Elaesis guineensis sp.) (OPMF) and mangrove bark (Rhizophora apiculate sp.) (MB) biomass. Through chemical treatment, the removal efficiency was found to improve. The removal efficiency is examined based on four specification namely dosage, of biosorbent to adsorb four types of metals ion explicitly nickel, lead, copper, and chromium. The research has found that the removal efficiency of MB was lower than OPMF; whereas, the multiple metals ions removal efficiency decreased in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Cr2+.
