Soil sorption characteristics of imidacloprid in different Croatian regions
In Croatia, imidacloprid is increasingly used in olive growing areas against the olive fruit fly. Experiments were conducted to examine the relationship between soil properties, imidacloprid concentration and soil sorption capacity. The linear and the Freundlich model adequately described the imidacloprid sorption. Better sorption was observed at lower imidacloprid concentrations and in soils ...

Water quality assessment of a polluted urban river
Urban rivers in Latin America are heavily impacted by human activities that affect their functions and services. This paper shows the results of a water quality assessment for the Reconquista River, the second most polluted urban river in Argentina. They allowed the identification of the main processes of transport of pollutants and the prioritisation of different areas of the basin for ...

A statistical approach applied to trace metal data from biomonitoring studies
This work underlines the importance of the statistical procedures necessary for the significant assessment of analytical data of heavy metals derived from marine organisms (biomonitors) collected at five stations in Ustica at the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The statistical method described indicates that, where the differences among the averages of Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations in the molluscs of the ...

A method for estimating watershed restoration feasibility under different treatment levels
The restoration of watershed health can be influenced by ecological, technical and socio-economic factors. The paper presents a conceptual framework and typology to assess watershed ecological restoration based on the properties and processes of sustainable watershed development. According to multiple life stages, habitat properties and existing legal frameworks and applicable valuation ...

Passive samplers for chemical substance monitoring and associated toxicity assessment in water
The European legislation, and in particular the Water Framework Directive requires the development of cost efficient monitoring tools that can provide the required information for the assessment of water contamination. Passive sampling methods represent one of the novel tools that have a potential to be used in various regulatory monitoring programmes aimed at assessing the levels of chemical ...

Dynamics and environmental risk assessment of the herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA in a small vineyard river of the Lake Geneva catchment
The use of pesticides may lead to environmental problems, such as surface water pollution, with a risk for aquatic organisms. In the present study, a typical vineyard river of western Switzerland was first monitored in order to measure discharged loads, identify sources and assess the dynamic of the herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA. Second, based on river concentrations, an ...

The Intersection of Workplace Safety and Environmental Sustainability: Achieving Sustainable Workplace Safety Practices
The industrial sector has been a major contributor to the earth's resource depletion and pollution. According to the research report 2022, construction industries produce 30.56 billion tons of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) yearly. Polluted air contains detrimental gasses like carbon dioxide and methane, which cause a lot of health-related problems for workers, such as respiratory issues, dizziness, and, ...

FPI’s Water Quality Analyzer Makes Water Pollutants Nowhere to Hide
One of the leading global challenges in the 21 century is poor water quality, which threatens human health and reduces other ecosystem functions. Recent studies show that one out of nine people drinks contaminated water or water sourced from unapproved water sources. Therefore, various governments and organizations step up to water monitoring, including the effects of the huge number of ...
