“…The useful information about the trend of researches that are concerned by researchers could be provided by analyzing the author keywords. The statistical analysis of author keywords might be aimed at discovering directions of science, and proved to be important for monitoring development of science (Hu et al 2010). The assessment of author keywords in this study period revealed that 500 author keywords were used.…”

Background A bibliometric analysis was used to assess the trend of solid waste-related publications produced by Iran and indexed in Scopus from 1982 to 2013. The study aims to analyze the distribution of languages, countries, institutes, journals, author keywords, authorship pattern and co-authorship relationships. Results The publication outputs showed an exponential trend (R 2 = 0.98) and increased by 45.3 % per year from 1982 to 2011. It was received with a decreasing trend to 44 papers at the end of 2013. Journal of Environmental Studies published the most papers. University of Tehran (25 %), Islamic Azad University (8.24 %), Tehran University of Medical Sciences (7.35 %) played active roles in the publication and Abduli MA was the most productive author (9.12 %) in this field. The English language was dominant language of all publications (88.24 %). The appearance of keywords namely ''Heavy metals'', ''landfill leachate'' and ''site selection'' reveals the importance of release of heavy metals through landfill leachates and site selection issues in Iran. Conclusions A downward trend in the number of publications is likely to be continued in future years. The highest cooperation was found among the capital universities in Iran and other institutions had a minor role in the production of articles. It is hoped that transferring the experiences by main universities and starting up teamwork activities may increase the number of researches in this field. It is expected that this study could be the basis for a better understanding of development of researches related to solid waste in Iran.

“…However, recent scientific findings on water supply system indicated that lead (Pb) is the significant contaminant of emerging concern whose toxic exposure occurs through drinking water [8][9][10]. Meanwhile, Sharrett et al [31] and Edwards [32] found that in USA the low concentration of Pb in drinking water in the long run would lead to chronic diseases and fatal deaths as well as Pb contamination in drinking water was not only recorded in urban areas but also in rural areas.…”

“…In the meantime, a few studies at LRBM determined the higher concentrations of Pb [6,7] in the supply water mostly because of its contamination in the water distribution pipeline. Moreover, many studies have considered Pb as an emerging contaminant and its ingestion is an issue of emerging concern [8][9][10][11]. However, there is no study which determined the dissolved Pb status in the treated water at the outlets of WTPs as well as the concentration differences between treated water at WTPs and supply water at household level.…”

Safe water supply at Langat River Basin, Malaysia is very crucial being Langat River the prime source of raw water in the basin. Although several study both river and supply water at the Langat Basin determined higher concentration of dissolved lead (Pb), however, there is no significant study that investigates the Pb concentration in the drinking water supply chain of the basin. Therefore, the review of secondary literature explores the status of dissolved Pb in drinking water supply chain at the Langat Basin in comparison with some other countries. Apart from man-made activities, the higher concentrations of dissolved Pb both in the raw and supply water are mainly from the natural weathering of Pb minerals within the granite rock of Titiwangsa Mountain Range of Langat Basin and the corrosion of galvanized iron pipe, respectively. Therefore, the use of reverse osmosis technology to treat both the raw and supply water at the basin could ensure safe drinking water supply as well as sound health of the populations.

“…Lead is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants and it has also a strong chemical toxicity effect even at low concentrations, causing irreversible cognitive damage and loss of intellectual quotient (IQ) [1].…”

“…Quantification of lead in drinking water is very important given the high toxicity of this metal. The acceptable lead concentration in drinking water is currently under review by the World Health Organization (WHO) a concentration lower than 10 µg•L − 1 . Consequently assessing the health risk from lead (Pb) in potable water requires accurate quantification of its concentration, but this determination is relatively difficult due to the low contents in water systems [7].…”

This study presents the elaboration of a simple and cheap electrode made by carbon paste introduced into a cavity of electrode body, and used for the lead traces determination in tap water. A potentiostatic pre-electrolysis at constant voltage enables the reduction of the lead (Pb 2+ ) and the accumulation of the metallic lead at and into the carbon paste; the reoxidation of the Pb (Linear sweep voltammetry) leads to the anodic striping peak. The effect of the main operating parameters on the shape of the peak and the magnitude of the current was examined and their optimal values were determined. Then calibration was achieved and the method was successfully applied (using all the optimized parameters) to the determination of lead in water, with a detection limit of 0.138 µg•L −1. Compared to other methods (ICP-AES for example), the proposed method offers a satisfactory detection limit of the Pb 2+ (0.138 µg•L −1
