Assessment of arsenic and vanadium pollution in surface sediments of the Egyptian Mediterranean coast
An assessment of arsenic and vanadium pollution was investigated for surface sediments collected from 41 sampling stations along the Egyptian Mediterranean coast during summer 2008. Grain size analysis, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), total silicate and carbonate contents were also studied. Concentrations of arsenic and vanadium were high especially in sediment samples collected from the eastern area ...

Case Study - Crude oil and refinery waste
For years refinery and oil field waste had been dumped into the marsh adjacent to a large residential community. The waste oil had also started seeping into the local groundwater. The area included three large ponds including a bermed area, 3 meters deep, containing a mixture of 60% oil-tar in water. The total area held approximately 3,400 cubic meters (m3) of contaminated soil and sludge ...
