“…The BC concentration was found to decrease with increasing depth profile from 0 to 30 cm unlikely to the OC and CC. The BC content in the waste materials of the Raipur area was found to be higher than other region of the World, probably due to higher coal burning in this region [21]- [23]. …”

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) exist in all compartments of the ecosystem due to wide industrial applications and production during burning processes. The PCBs congeners were quantified in the industrial, municipal and agricultural wastes of the most industrialized area of the country, Raipur city, India. The concentration of ΣPCBs in the sludge, sewage and agriculture wastes (n = 4) was ranged from 497 -800 µg/kg with mean value of 634 ± 146 µg/kg. The PCBs congeners detected in the waste materials were ranged from 56 -85 with mean value of 75 ± 13. The highest number of congeners was quantified in the sludge materials due to the existence of the heavy PCBs. The PCBs congeners were found to decrease vertically due to the adsorption by the geo-media. The distribution, sources and toxicities of PCBs congeners in the waste materials are discussed.

The pond water is used by a variety of animals i.e. mammals, birds, duck, and fish. Sediments play a significant role in determining the overall environmental quality for the living organism. Therefore, in this work, chemical characterization of pond water and sediment in the largest coal burning basin of India i.e. Korba basin is described. Elements i.e. C, O, S, F, Cl, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, As, Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Hg were quantified. Toxic metals i.e. As, Cd, Hg, and Pb were highly enriched in the sediments, ranging from 36 -154, 0.14 -1.19, 0.12 -0.82 and 26 -127 mg/kg with mean value (p = 0.05) of 95 ± 12, 0.62 ± 0.11, 0.35 ± 0.08 and 75 ± 13 mg/kg, respectively. The concentration variations, pollution indices and sources of elements in water and sediment are discussed.

“…It is interesting to note that the black carbon contents also began to increase about 50 years B.P. (Muri et al, 2002) while the highest PAH contents, mainly of pyrolitic origin, appeared about 50 years B.P., but afterwards gradually decreased towards recent values (Muri, 2003). The studied elements can in general be divided according to their properties and quantities into carbonate bonded (Ca, Mg), nutrient (organic C, total N and P), mobile (Fe, Mn), lithogenic (Al, Ba, Cr, Li, K, Na, La), enriched (Pb, Zn, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni,) and miscellaneous (Sr, V, Be) elements.…”

“…Afterwards, the research was mainly oriented towards formation of authigenic lacustrine limestone sediment in the western part of lake Bled using stable isotopes (Dolenec, Pezdic, Ogorelec, & Misic, 1984) and palynological reconstruction of the lake environment using a 6.7 m deep borehole (Schultze, 1984). The systematic research was continued in the 1980s and 1990s of the last century and focused on organic matter distribution and reactivity (Cermelj et al, 1996;Cermelj & Faganeli, 2003;Lojen, Ogrinc, & Dolenec, 1997, 1999Muri, 2003;Muri, Cermelj, Faganeli, & Brancelj, 2002), pore water composition (Cermelj et al, 1996;Ogrinc, Lojen & Faganeli, 1997) and methanogenesis (Lojen et al, 1999;Ogrinc, Lojen, & Faganeli, 2002). The aim of the present study was to investigate the sedimentology, and metal geochemistry and pollution of lake sediments.…”

Sediment cores collected in eutrophic subalpine Lake Bled (NW Slovenia) were analyzed sedimentologically in terms of grain size, mineralogy and sedimentation rates, and geochemically in terms of metals and nutrients. Surficial sediment is composed of dark gyttya type clayey silt with 5%-10% of organic matter. The sediment below is fine laminated and composed of homogenous silt and clayey silt: Mineralogically, low-Mg calcite prevails, followed by dolomite, quartz, partially of diatomaceous origin, and feldspar. Clay minerals are composed of muscovite/illite and chlorite. Authigenic minerals are pyrite and 'lake chalk' (low-Mg calcite). Lake sediment is especially polluted by Pb, Zn and P. Higher contents were found in the northwestern and eastern parts due to the particle input by local inflows. Increasing eutrophication and pollution, indicated by Cd, Cu, V, Cr, Co and total N and P enrichment in the top layers of the cores, started almost 100 years B.P., and especially 50 years ago.
