This chapter presents latest research in Australia, Europe, and other parts of the world on environmental issues related to As, particularly in water, but the viewpoints of food, health …
Understanding urban soil geochemistry is a challenging task because of the complicated layering of the urban landscape and the profound impact of large cities on the chemical …
The increasing development of industries, resulting in a large volume of mining, smelting, and combustion wastes, and intense agricultural activities, due to demand for food and …
More than 100 million people around the world are endangered by geogenic arsenic (As) in groundwater, residing in sedimentary aquifers. However, not all sedimentary aquifers are …
More recent data of Greek bauxites from the Parnassos-Ghiona active mines prove that rare earth elements (REEs) occur mainly in the form of authigenic/diagenetic LREE 3+ carbonate …
The present study involves an integration of the hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic (both stable and radiogenic) data of the groundwater samples taken from aquifers …
The presence of arsenic in groundwater comprises a worldwide problem and is recognized as a human health threat. The present work summarizes the arsenic contamination in …
Arsenic has a natural cycle as it travels underground. It can mix with geothermal fluid in different ways under the control of magmatic and tectonic processes. Geogenic arsenic is …
We analyse the concentration of five trace elements (As, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the topsoil of the Kozani-Ptolemais basin where four coal-fired power plants run to provide almost 47.8 …
