Background: As resources become scarce, information from material and substance flow analysis can help to improve material recovery policy. The flow of toxic substances such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) can be used as a basis for appropriate risk management decisions for optimum environmental quality.

Objectives: The present study examined a material and substance flow analysis of used lead acid batteries (ULAB) from motor vehicles and implications for environmental quality in Nigeria.

Methods: Information on motor vehicle imports was obtained from the literature. Mathematical models were constructed and used for the material and substance flow analysis. Samples of 50 brands of ULAB pastes were digested using a microwave digestion system followed by elemental determination (Pb, Cd, silver (Ag), As, cobalt (Co), calcium (Ca), Cr, copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), Sb, selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te)) with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy.

Results: Approximately 4.8 million tons (Mt) lead acid batteries (LAB) from vehicles was used in Nigeria between 1980 and 2014, out of which approximately 2.6 Mt had reached end-of-life (EoL) stages. From the total amount in EoL, approximately 2.3 Mt was recycled, and 0.3 Mt was landfilled. Among the toxic elements, Pb, Cd and As were the most abundant in ULAB; and of the valuable elements, Fe and Cu had the highest levels. Approximately 3.5 Mt of Pb was used in the past (1980-2014) in ULAB for motor vehicles, out of which approximately 1.9 Mt tons was in EoL stages.

Discussion: The results revealed that the battery pastes were heterogeneous. Only Pb exceeded the total threshold limit concentration (TTLC) of 1000 mg/kg. The TTLC describes the safe levels or concentration of heavy metals in the environment. The levels observed for other metals in this study were below the TTLC values. The present study estimated an average life span for lead acid batteries in motor vehicles in Nigeria of 5 years, suggesting an additional 2.2 Mt at EoL by 2019. High concentrations of Pb in air, water and soil carry the potential for contamination of food products, especially in Nigeria, where food is traditionally prepared and sold in open air markets in an unregulated manner.

Conclusions: High amounts of toxic elements present in the various life cycle stages signal potential environmental and human health hazards.

背景:随着资源变得稀缺,来自物料和物质流分析的信息可以帮助改进物料回收政策。铅(Pb)、镉(Cd)、铬(Cr)、砷(as)和锑(Sb)等有毒物质的流动可作为适当风险管理决策的基础,以实现最佳环境质量。目的:本研究审查了尼日利亚机动车废旧铅酸电池(ULAB)的材料和物质流动分析及其对环境质量的影响。方法:从文献资料中获取机动车进口信息。建立了数学模型并用于物料和物质流分析。采用微波消解系统对50个品牌的ULAB膏体样品进行消解,然后采用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定元素(Pb、Cd、银(Ag)、As、钴(Co)、钙(Ca)、Cr、铜(Cu)、铁(Fe)、锰(Mn)、镍(Ni)、Sb、硒(Se)和碲(Te))。结果:1980年至2014年期间,尼日利亚使用了约480万吨汽车铅酸电池,其中约260万吨已达到使用寿命终止(EoL)阶段。在EoL的总量中,大约有230万吨被回收,30万吨被填埋。有毒元素中以Pb、Cd和As含量最高;在有价元素中,铁和铜的含量最高。在过去(1980年至2014年)的ULAB中,大约使用了350万吨铅,其中约190万吨是在EoL阶段。讨论:结果表明,电池膏体是异质的。只有Pb超过了总阈限浓度(TTLC) 1000 mg/kg。TTLC描述了环境中重金属的安全水平或浓度。本研究中观察到的其他金属的水平低于TTLC值。目前的研究估计,尼日利亚机动车铅酸电池的平均寿命为5年,这表明到2019年将增加220万吨的EoL。空气、水和土壤中的高浓度铅有可能污染食品,特别是在尼日利亚,那里的食品传统上是在露天市场以不受管制的方式制备和销售的。结论:在生命周期的各个阶段都存在大量的有毒元素,这标志着潜在的环境和人类健康危害。利益竞争:作者声明没有经济利益竞争。

Background. Hexavalent chromium-containing waste from chromite ore processing is a major environmental health hazard due to its high toxicity. There have been instances of improper and unsafe disposal of this waste, leading to environmental health hazards. Objectives. The objective of the present study was to identify the cause of yellow colored water discharge and reported health issues in nearby residents and cattle. In addition, it investigated the improper disposal of chromite ore processing residue (COPR), a hazardous waste, in an abandoned quarry in stromatolitic-limestone terrain in central-east India. Methods. Standard methods of analysis of water and wastewater were used for the analyses of variables, including hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), pH, sulfate (SO42−), chlorine (Cl−), total hardness, calcium (Ca(II)), magnesium (Mg(II)), alkalinity and sodium (Na(I)) with proper sampling, quality assurance, and quality control protocols. Onsite Cr(VI) was analyzed using a chromium testing kit, and in the laboratory by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results. Large-scale contamination of surface and groundwater was noted due to the migration of hexavalent chromium-contaminated yellow colored leachate. High levels of hexavalent chromium were noted in the samples. The maximum Cr(VI) concentration observed was 1050 mg/L in leachate, 22 mg/L in surface water and 0.26 mg/L in the groundwater sample. Acute health effects were noted in cattle and by residents who consumed the highly contaminated water. Conclusions. A large volume of discharge of hexavalent chromium contamination from the COPR landfill was found, indicating the absence of containment features in the design (double high-density polyethylene liners, clay, leachate collection). Disposal of COPR in an abandoned limestone mine is inadvisable. The highly fractured stromatolitic-limestone environment at the study site was found to offer almost no resistance to the mobilization of Cr(VI) due to the absence of organic or eukaryotic deposition in the stromatolitic environment. It was also noted that the drainage pattern of the area facilitates a possible translocation of contaminated discharge to the nearby river system. Nearby residents were unaware of the adverse impacts of the contaminated leachates and were using the contaminated water for bathing, washing, etc. Applicable Indian governmental regulations regarding the construction of hazardous waste landfills were found to be insufficient with respect to the use of inactive limestone mines as landfill sites.

背景:铬铁矿加工产生的含六价铬废物因其高毒性而对环境健康构成重大危害。曾发生过不当和不安全处置这类废物的情况,造成环境健康危害。目的:本研究的目的是确定黄色水排放的原因和报告的附近居民和牛的健康问题。此外,它还调查了在印度中东部叠层石-石灰石地形的废弃采石场中对危险废物铬铁矿加工残渣(COPR)的不当处置。方法:采用标准的水和废水分析方法,对包括六价铬(Cr(VI))、pH、硫酸盐(SO4 2-)、氯(Cl-)、总硬度、钙(Ca(II))、镁(Mg(II))、碱度和钠(Na(I))在内的变量进行分析,并采用适当的取样、质量保证和质量控制方案。现场铬(VI)分析使用铬检测试剂盒,并在实验室原子吸收分光光度法。结果:六价铬污染的黄色渗滤液迁移导致地表水和地下水大面积污染。在样品中发现了高水平的六价铬。渗滤液中Cr(VI)的最大浓度为1050 mg/L,地表水中为22 mg/L,地下水中为0.26 mg/L。牛和饮用高污染水的居民注意到严重的健康影响。结论:从COPR填埋场中发现了大量六价铬污染物的排放,表明设计中缺乏遏制特征(双层高密度聚乙烯衬垫、粘土、渗滤液收集)。在废弃的石灰石矿山中处置COPR是不可取的。研究发现,由于叠层石环境中缺乏有机或真核沉积,研究地点高度断裂的叠层石-石灰岩环境对Cr(VI)的动员几乎没有抵抗力。还有人指出,该地区的排水格局可能会使受污染的排放物转移到附近的河流系统。附近居民没有意识到被污染的渗滤液的不利影响,而是将被污染的水用于洗澡、洗涤等。委员会发现,印度政府关于建造危险废物填埋场的适用条例在使用不活动的石灰石矿山作为填埋场方面不够充分。利益竞争:作者声明没有经济利益竞争。

Heavy Metals in the Soils of Placer Small-Scale Gold Mining Sites in Myanmar. 缅甸砂矿、小型金矿土壤重金属含量研究
IF 2.4 Q1 Medicine Pub Date : 2020-08-25 eCollection Date: 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.5696/2156-9614-10.27.200911

Background: Artisanal and small-scale mining activities are widely practiced globally. Concentrations of heavy metals associated with gold, such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) can increase in the environment as a result of mining activities, leading to environmental pollution and pose toxicity risks to humans and animals.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate soil concentrations of toxic heavy metals in placer small-scale gold mining operations in Myanmar.

Methods: Soil samples were collected from three placer small-scale gold mining sites: Site A located in the Hmawbon public protected forest, Site B and Site C, situated in the Nant-Kyin reserved forest around Nar Nant Htun village. At each site, soil samples were collected from four gold mining stages (ore processing, sluicing, panning, and amalgamation). Atomic absorption spectroscopy was utilized to examine the concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, and Hg.

Results: The highest heavy metal concentrations were generally found in the amalgamation stages across all the gold mining sites. Across the three mining sites, the maximum heavy metal concentrations in the amalgamation stage were 22.170 mg.kg-1 for As, 3.070 mg.kg-1 for Cd, 77.440 mg.kg-1 for Hg, and 210.000 mg.kg-1 for Pb.

Conclusions: The present study examined the concentrations of As, Cd, Hg and Pb in the soil of several small-scale gold mining sites in Banmauk Township, Myanmar. The results demonstrated the presence of high concentrations of heavy metals in the soil of the gold mining sites. Miners in this area work without proper personal protective equipment, and frequent exposure to heavy metals in the soil may cause adverse health effects. The present study provides baseline data for future risk assessment studies of heavy metal contamination in gold mines.

背景:手工和小规模采矿活动在全球范围内广泛开展。与金有关的重金属,如铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)、砷(as)、镉(Cd)、汞(Hg)和铅(Pb)的浓度会因采矿活动而在环境中增加,从而导致环境污染并对人类和动物构成毒性风险。目的:本研究的目的是调查缅甸砂矿小型金矿开采作业中有毒重金属的土壤浓度。方法:从三个砂矿小型金矿点采集土壤样本:位于Hmawbon公共保护区的A点,位于Nar Nant Htun村周围的Nant- kyin保护区的B点和C点。在每个地点,从金矿开采的四个阶段(矿石加工、水闸、淘金和汞化)收集了土壤样本。利用原子吸收光谱法测定了砷、镉、铅和汞的浓度。结果:在所有金矿点的汞合并阶段,重金属浓度普遍最高。在3个矿区,汞化阶段的最大重金属浓度为22.170 mg。As为3.070 mg。Cd为77.440 mg。Hg为kg-1, 210,000 mg。Pb是kg-1。结论:本研究检测了缅甸班茂克镇几个小型金矿矿区土壤中砷、镉、汞和铅的浓度。结果表明,金矿矿区土壤中存在高浓度重金属。在该地区工作的矿工没有适当的个人防护装备,经常接触土壤中的重金属可能会对健康造成不利影响。本研究为今后金矿重金属污染风险评估研究提供了基线数据。利益竞争:作者声明没有经济利益竞争。

Background: Air pollution has become a major problem around the world and is increasingly an issue in Togo due to increased vehicular traffic. Gaseous pollutants are released by engines and are very harmful to human health and the environment. The fuels used on the major road in Togo, the N2, are adulterated with unknown contents and are of poor quality. Many of the vehicles come from neighboring countries, such as Benin, Ghana and Nigeria.

Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the pollution rate in Togo through the estimation of the concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particular matter (PM) on the international road, the National Road N2, in Lomé, compared to the World Health Organization's (WHO) standard limit.

Methods: The simulations of pollutant concentration were performed using the Industrial Source Complex Short Term Version 3 model, which is included in the United States Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (USEPA) AERMOD View software. The meteorological averages data were obtained from the local station near the National Road N2 in Togo in 2018. Hourly averages were calculated according to the European Monitoring Evaluation Programme/European Environmental Agency air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2016 and were processed using AERMET View and a terrain pre-processor, AERMAP. For the model, the sources of pollution were the vehicles traveling on the road segment. The source was a line volume with 20 m of width and 2 m of height. The estimation methodology covered exhaust emissions of NOx, SO2 and PM contained in the fuel.

Results: The simulations provided average hourly, daily and annual concentrations of the different pollutants: 71.91 μg/m3, 42.41 μg/m3,11.23 μg/m3 for SO2; 16.78 μg/m3, 9.89 μg/m3, 2.46 μg/m3 for NOx and below the detection limit, 0.62 μg/m3, 0.15 μg/m3 for PM, respectively. These results indicate that on the National Road N2 in Togo, the concentrations of SO2 were high compared to those of NOx and PM. The daily average concentration of SO2 was twice the permissible limits set by the WHO.

Conclusions: Emissions obtained from the AERMOD for NOx and PM were less than the permissible limits set by the WHO, while the rate of SO2 was twice the permissible limit. The fuels used on this road were very rich in sulfur. The sulfur level in fuels must be monitored by stakeholders in Togo.

Background: Air pollution poses a significant threat to human health worldwide. Investigating potential health impacts is essential to the development of regulations and legislation to minimize health risks.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the potentially hazardous effect of air pollution on the Ali Sabah Al Salem residential area in Kuwait by comparing the pollution level to a control area (Al-Qirawan) by assessing two biomarkers: erythrocyte glutathione S-transferases (e-GST) and total blood antioxidant, and then correlating the activity to pollution-related oxidative stress.

Methods: The average concentrations of several airborne gases were measured at Ali Sabah Al Salem and Al-Qirawan, including ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM10), sulfur dioxide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and non-methane hydrocarbon. A total of fifty-eight participants were sampled from two different areas and divided into two groups. The study group was composed of 40 residents exposed to polluted ambient air in the Ali Sabah Al Salem residential area. A reference group composed of 18 residents in the Al-Qairawan area living far from major pollution sources was also tested.

Results: All measured gases were higher in concentration at Ali Sabah Al Salem compared to the Al-Qirawan area. Furthermore, PM10 and sulfur dioxide were higher than World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The e-GST activity was lower among participants of the Ali Sabah Al Salem residential area compared to participants living in the Al-Qairawan area. The total antioxidant capacity in whole blood of Ali Sabah Al Salem residents was significantly (p<0.0001) higher than in control subjects.

Conclusions: Residents in Ali Sabah Al Salem are exposed to a high level of air pollution that has a serious impact on glutathione S-transferases levels. Subsequently, regulations on pollution sources are needed to lower current health risks. Furthermore, the present study provides evidence that finger-prick blood sampling is a quick, non-invasive method suitable for screening e-GST activity and total antioxidants which may be applied for surveillance purposes.

Metal Concentrations in Sediments of the Alinsaog River, Santa Cruz, Zambales, Central Luzon, Philippines. 菲律宾吕宋岛中部赞巴勒斯省圣克鲁斯市阿林索格河沉积物中的金属浓度。
IF 2.4 Q1 Medicine Pub Date : 2020-08-25 eCollection Date: 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.5696/2156-9614-10.27.200914

Background: Efforts are needed to evaluate heavy metal concentrations in aquatic sediments which serve as repositories and as sources of contamination of other habitats.

Objectives: The present study assessed temporal changes in the pH, particle size and concentration of metals in sediments of a mining-affected river in Zambales, Philippines.

Methods: Sediment samples were collected at different periods in four stations along the river using a modified Van Veen grab. The samples were subjected to quartering, air-drying, and sieved through a mesh of 40 mm prior to X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis using Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t to determine metal concentrations. The sediment particle size was analyzed by the sieve method and soil pH by the electrode method.

Results: Measured metal concentrations in the sediment were as follows: iron (Fe)> calcium (Ca)> chromium (Cr)> nickel (Ni)> manganese (Mn) with averages of 174.6 mg/g, 7.89 mg/g, 6.54 mg/g, 4.82 mg/g, and 2.75 mg/g dry matter (DM), respectively. The mean pH of riverine sediments was generally neutral, except for Station 4. In terms of particle size, silt and clay fractions increased in the upstream station but decreased in the midstream and downstream stations across the sampling periods. The flooding brought by Typhoon Koppu resulted in lowered concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Ni and an upsurge in Ca and potassium levels.

Discussion: Most of the heavy metals (Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn) exceeded the probable effect level (PEL) for inorganics in sediments, suggesting that the adverse effects of these metals on the environment and aquatic organisms are expected to occur frequently. In comparison with Station 4, which was less affected by siltation, there was a sign of metal enrichment in the area. This indicates that soil erosion and runoff, which might have been triggered by vegetation loss, mineral extraction, and agricultural activities, had a significant impact on the quality of river sediments.

Conclusions: The findings of the study point to the need for the formulation and implementation of appropriate regulatory measures for the protection and rehabilitation of the heavy metal-loaded river.

The Great Smog Month and Spatial and Monthly Variation in Air Quality in Ambient Air in Delhi, India. 大雾霾月与印度德里空气质量的空间及月变化。
IF 2.4 Q1 Medicine Pub Date : 2020-08-25 eCollection Date: 2020-09-01 DOI: 10.5696/2156-9614-10.27.200910

Background: In recent years, poor urban air quality in Delhi, India has gained significant attention. Episodic events including crop stubble burning and Diwali celebrations are considered major factors in the worsening quality of ambient air.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate spatial and monthly variation as well as the role of episodic events in ambient air quality in Delhi, including the 'Great Smog' month of November 2017.

Methods: Monitoring of air pollutants (particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, PM1) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) was carried out at three distinct locations of Delhi from April 2017-February 2018. The concentration of NO2 was measured using a modified Jacob and Hochheiser method and PM was measured using a GRIMM aerosol spectrometer. Air quality index was also determined to identify the effects of air pollution on human health.

Results: Overall, the levels of air pollution were found to be approximately 2.1-3.2 times higher along a traffic intersection and about 1.4-2.0 times higher in a commercial area compared with an institutional area. The highest average monthly concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, PM1 and NO2 were 768, 374, 298 and 149 μg/m3, respectively, during the Great Smog month of November 2017. November and August were recorded as the most polluted and cleanest months, respectively, in the city. Generally, poor to severe categories of the air quality index (AQI) were obtained from October to February. Higher concentrations during November were attributed to stubble burning in the nearby states of Delhi with the additive effect of fireworks during Diwali celebrations.

Conclusions: Severe ambient air quality as observed in the present study is a serious matter of concern for the health of Delhi's population. To control spikes in poor air quality during episodic events, it is imperative to raise awareness among farmers regarding the severe health hazards of stubble burning.

Background: The respiratory system of children is vulnerable to exposure to particulate matter (PM) with a diameter of less than 2.5 and 10 μm (PM2.5 and PM10) or even lower.

Objective: This study assessed PM10 and PM2.5 levels and respiratory health impacts on children in schools located in an industrialized suburb in Kenya.

Method: The PM10 and PM2.5 levels were sampled from five public primary schools in Athi River Township and a control school during the wet and dry seasons. Outdoor and classroom samples were collected concurrently on an 8-hour mean during school hours on two consecutive days in each school and analyzed using gravimetric techniques. Five hundred and seventy-eight (n = 578) pupils aged 9-14 years from these schools were also evaluated for symptoms of respiratory illnesses and lung function using a questionnaire and spirometric method, respectively, during the same periods.

Results: Indoor median PM10 levels (μg/m3) ranged from 60.8-269.1 and 52.8-232.3 and PM2.5 values (μg/m3) of 17.7-52.4 and 28.5-75.5 during the dry and wet seasons, respectively. The control classrooms had significantly (p <0.05) lower median PM10 levels (μg/m3) of 5.2 and 4.2, and PM2.5 levels (μg/m3) of 3.5 and 3.0 during the respective seasons. Nearly all the classrooms in Athi River schools had PM2.5 and PM10 median levels that exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended levels. The indoor-to-outdoor ratios varied from 0.35-1.40 and 0.80-2.40 for PM10 and 0.30-0.80 and 0.80-1.40 for PM2.5 during the dry and wet seasons, respectively, suggesting higher levels in the classrooms during the wet season. The relative risk (RR) and odds ratio (OR) presented higher prevalence of respiratory diseases following PM exposure in all the Athi River schools than the control during the dry and wet seasons. At 95% CI, the RR and OR showed strong associations between high PM10 and PM2.5 levels and lung function deficits and vice versa. The association was more prevalent during the wet season.

背景:儿童的呼吸系统很容易受到直径小于 2.5 和 10 μm(PM2.5 和 PM10)甚至更小的颗粒物(PM)的影响:本研究评估了肯尼亚工业化郊区学校的 PM10 和 PM2.5 水平及其对儿童呼吸系统健康的影响:方法:在雨季和旱季对阿蒂河镇的五所公立小学和一所对照学校的 PM10 和 PM2.5 水平进行采样。在每所学校连续两天的上课时间内,同时采集室外和教室样本,平均采集时间为 8 小时,并使用重量计量技术进行分析。在同一时期,还分别采用问卷调查和肺活量法对这些学校的 578 名(n = 578)9-14 岁学生的呼吸道疾病症状和肺功能进行了评估:在旱季和雨季,室内可吸入颗粒物(PM10)的中位数(微克/立方米)分别为 60.8-269.1 和 52.8-232.3,PM2.5 的中位数(微克/立方米)分别为 17.7-52.4 和 28.5-75.5。对照组教室在这两个季节的PM2.5水平(微克/立方米)分别为3.5和3.0,而对照组教室的PM2.5水平(微克/立方米)分别为5.2和4.2。阿蒂河学校几乎所有教室的 PM2.5 和 PM10 中值水平都超过了世界卫生组织(WHO)的建议水平。在旱季和雨季,PM10 的室内外比值分别为 0.35-1.40 和 0.80-2.40,PM2.5 的室内外比值分别为 0.30-0.80 和 0.80-1.40,这表明雨季教室中的 PM2.5 水平较高。相对风险(RR)和几率比(OR)显示,在旱季和雨季,所有阿蒂河学校暴露于可吸入颗粒物后的呼吸道疾病发病率均高于对照组。在95% CI下,RR和OR显示PM10和PM2.5高水平与肺功能缺陷之间存在密切联系,反之亦然。这种关联在雨季更为普遍:该研究呼吁在学校环境中实施有效的室内空气管理计划,以减少 PM 暴露和对呼吸系统健康的影响:伦理批准研究许可和批准来自内罗毕大学/肯雅塔国家医院伦理与研究委员会(KNH-UoN ERC Reference:P599/08/2016)和国家科学、技术和创新委员会(NACOSTI/P/18/4268/25724):作者声明没有任何经济利益冲突。

Background: Mining, waste disposal, and agrochemical residues have contributed to pollution of water and soil with toxic metals in most low- and middle-income countries, raising concerns of ecological safety and public health. This has prompted many studies into the production and utilization of biochars to adsorb toxic metal contaminants from soil and water.

Objective: The present study presents a review of biochar properties, the mechanisms of toxic metal adsorption onto biochar, and sorption of toxic metal contaminants in water and soil in small scale applications and laboratory experiments.

Methods: A total of 305 articles were collected, and after screening for relevance, a final of 164 articles from both high- and low- and middle-income countries were used in this review paper.

Discussion: Biochar for sorption has proven effective and its raw materials are readily available, cost effective, environmentally stable and a good form of waste management.

Conclusions: Different techniques of biochar production influence the properties of biochar and adsorption of toxic metals from water and soil.
