Using PRTR database for the assessment of surface water risk and improvement of monitoring in Japan
In April 2003, the first PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) was published in Japan. It is shown how the PRTR can be used to improve environmental risk assessment with the objective of reducing risk to ecosystem integrity and human health. By examining the superposition of all chemical releases into rivers, high levels of several contaminants are uncovered. Most of these chemicals have ...

Analysis of PFCs in Environmental Water Using Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS
Organofluorine compounds such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are highly stable chemical compounds which are widely used as water repellents, oil repellents and coating agents. These compounds do not decompose easily in the natural world due to their stability. Reports of their detection in rivers, streams, tap water, food, as well as in the atmosphere ...

Oil pollution in the Caspian Sea coastal waters
The study aims to investigate hydrocarbon and pollutant concentrations in the southern coastal waters of the Caspian Sea to trace their origins and nature, including the effect of the beach materials on hydrocarbons for 11 sites in Golestan, Mazandaran, and Guilan provinces. Samples were collected from sandy and rocky sites for gas chromatography in five carbon ranges of gasoline, diesel oil, ...

Sulfide Tails Management Within the Framework of Sustainable Development in Mineral Sand Mines—The Case Study of Sierra Rutile Ltd.
The study discussed here assessed Sierra Rutile Ltd.’s (SRL’s) water-cover sulfide tails management method. Monthly and quarterly water samples from SRL’s Sulfide Tails Pond (STP), Total Tails Pond (TTP), and the Titan Domestic Pond (TDP) were analyzed for 15 months. Results indicated acceptable quality for the STP. From Student’s t-test analysis, it was found that the ...

Governance, rights, and resource development costs of water: lessons from post-war Japan
To promote water resources development, many nations have established centralized administration such that the central government can hold an institutional authority with the ability to control water resources development and modify the modernization of water rights. This enables governments to clearly define the rights or introduce the principle of vested rights protection; however, ...

Environmental health aspects of drinking water-borne outbreak due to karst flooding: case study
Climate change may increase the incidence of waterborne diseases due to extreme rainfall events, and consequent microbiological contamination of the water source and supply. As a result of the complexity of the pathways from the surface to the consumer, it is difficult to detect an association between rainfall and human disease. The water supply of a Hungarian city, Miskolc (174,000 inhabitant), ...

The Importance of Dynamic Density Compensation in Water Level Monitoring
OBTAINING SUPERIOR WATER LEVEL ACCURACY IN COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS In-Situ Inc. water level instruments measure the sum of all pressures (atmospheric and hydrostatic) exerted on a pressure transducer and use that data to calculate water levels. Water density contributes to the total hydrostatic pressure. Saltwater has a higher specific gravity than fresh water. A standard column of saltwater exerts ...

Micropollutants in European rivers: A mode of action survey to support the development of effect‐based tools for water monitoring
Environmental quality monitoring of water resources is challenged with providing the basis for safeguarding the environment against adverse biological effects from exposure to anthropogenic chemicals originating from diffuse and point sources. Although current regulatory efforts focus on monitoring and assessing a few legacy chemicals, many more anthropogenic chemicals are and will become ...

Analysis of PCBs and Organochlorinated pesticides in river water using simultaneous Scan/MRM measurement in GC-MS/MS
PCBs and some chlorinated pesticides are resistant to decomposition in the environment, and tend to accumulate in living organisms. As a result, they are designated as POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) under the Stockholm Convention. In monitoring these environmental pollutants in river water and sludge, sensitivity for the detection of trace quantities and separation from impurities in the ...

Trophic state evolution in a subtropical reservoir over 34 years in response to different management procedures
Despite their importance for water management, long-term studies on trophic state are relatively scarce in subtropical reservoirs. We analyzed total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations in the Billings Reservoir (Brazil) over time: Phase 1 (1977–1992, Tietê River water was pumped to Billings to increase energy generation, 100 m3 s−1); Phase 2 (1992–2007, ...

Water quality in healthcare
Rivers are important freshwater resources for many countries and human beings around the world. Social well being, economics and political development have been largely related to the availability and distribution of these freshwater resources. In many parts of the world the adverse health impacts of water supply from rivers, dam construction, irrigation development and flood mitigation have led ...
