contaminants enter the soil. Nevertheless‚ heavy metals are the most toxic of all the pollutants. Among these‚ lead‚ cadmium‚ chromium‚ mercury and arsenic are most toxic and can cause multiple organ damages even when present in small amount. Although‚ these elements are necessary for soil animals as well as plants in extremely low quantities. However‚ anthropogenic activities like mining‚ smelting‚ fuel burning etc have disturbed the natural geochemical cycles of heavy metals which raises concern over their

present age there is a rapid increase of contaminants in the environment‚ but one of the major global concerns is the heavy metal concentrations in the environment as a result of man’s activities and since the biosphere is a closed system this heavy metals remains on earth and continuously increase as the human population increase. The acute and chronic effects of these heavy metals especially lead have been a worldwide concern. In fact in April 2000 the use of leaded gasoline was phased out in Metro

1.1. Introduction Heavy metals such as lead‚ zinc‚ copper‚ can often be found in industrial wastewater and their discharge to the environment poses a serious threat due to their acute toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial life which includes humans. As a result of increasing industrialization more heavy metals are continually released to the environment and this has prompted environmental engineers and scientists to think of better methods by which heavy metal-bearing wastewaters can

harmful toxic wastes are occurred. Thus gold mining has drastic effects on water‚ earth and air. Firstly‚ gold mining can has devastating effect on water because of leaked chemicals. Cyanide and some heavy metals are used in process of gold mining. If gold mine leaks cyanide or other heavy metals‚ these chemicals can react with water and produce acidic water. Fishes and water plants are can get damaged owing to this acidic water. Nicholas asserted in Dirty Gold ‘The toxic bullet had been a cyanide

The plants extract heavy metals‚ natural aromatic and hydrocarbon compounds and also man-made chemicals such as pesticides‚ herbicides‚ fungicides‚ and antibiotics form the soil (Saier 2010). The Best part is this process uses minimal energy to run‚ all the plants need to use as energy is water‚ light and plenty of CO2. The main mechanism behind phytoremediation is that they sequester heavy metals into their cell walls ‚ they chealate (breaking a compound

Questions that should be asked are: How much water and solid matter does it contain? How many different metals and nutrients does it have and how much of each? What potentially toxic organic chemicals are contained in the sludge? What pathogen reduction process was used?
