“…In the case of Vietnam, the concentrations of the roadside deposit samples were lower than those of sediments probably because of incomplete road pavement and frequent construction works, which diluted traffic origin particles. Experimental results in Tokyo and in the Philippines are in the same level compared with a report by Lee et al (2005) showing 190 mg Pb/kg for mean concentration of roadside sediments based on a large number of samples taken in Korea. In the case of Tokyo and in the Philippines, urban runoff from roads on rainy days contributes to the increase in metal concentration in the sediments of receiving watersheds based on the relatively higher concentrations of roadside deposits compared with those of sediments Particulate matters in surface water Surface water was sampled in the Philippines and its total metal concentration, dissolved metal concentration, and suspended solid concentration were measured to calculate the metal concentration associated with suspended sediments.…”

Abstract:Metal contents of sediments in Manila Bay -Laguna Lake watershed in the Philippines were measured and detailed horizontal distribution was obtained. The distribution of zinc and lead concentration in Manila Bay clearly shows the effect of anthropogenic contamination and it was explained by the diffusion of lead and zinc rich anthropogenic particles discharged from Pasig River. The sediments in Laguna Lake were mostly natural particulate matters from surrounding mountains and they contained 20 mgPb/kg and 100 mgZn/kg, while the sediment taken at the heavily polluted branches of the Pasig River contained as high as 88 mgPb/kg and 310 mgZn/kg. The lead and zinc concentrations in the sediments of Manila Bay -Laguna Lake watershed were compared with those in the mouth of the Tama River, Tokyo, where the faster deposition of coarser natural origin particles and slower deposition of lead and zinc rich anthropogenic particles determined the sediment concentration. The comparison was also made with Hanoi City, Vietnam. In spite of the difference in time when leaded gasoline was prohibited, the difference in the lead concentrations of roadside deposits and sediments was not obvious in the vicinity of these three target cities. This is probably due to dilution by a large amount of suspended solids conveyed by the Pasig River in the case of the Philippines. Storm water runoff containing roadside deposits and discharge of untreated wastewater were identified as factors increasing zinc and lead concentrations of sediments in receiving waters based on the measurements on roadside deposits and the estimation of the contribution of untreated wastewater.

“…Individuals exposed to cadmium can develop osteoporosis, anemia, eosinophilia, emphysema, and renal tubular damage. Long-term cadmium toxicity can produce Itai-Itai disease, in which individuals suffer from bone fractures, severe pain, proteinuria, and severe osteomalacia [3]. The highest Cd concentration of 28.64 µg/g was detected at wurukum junction (heavy traffic area), this area is located at the major commercial area with high vehicular activities.…”

“…Uncontrolled development and urbanization has also resulted in accelerating input of heavy metals in urban soils. In the last few decades, anthropogenic activities like industrial and energy production, construction, waste disposal, domestic heating system and motor vehicles are continuously contributing towards and increase in the level of heavy metals in urban soils [3]. Heavy metal contents in soil are highly dependent on geochemical nature of parent material, their presence in the soil is due to natural weathering of parent rock material and pedogenic processes.…”

Roadside soil samples were collected from four sites (heavy traffic area (Wurukum); industrial site (Gboko road); residential area (Federal Lowcost) and Federal Medical Center (Wadata) representing different activities across the Benue Metropolis. At each of the sample site, roadside soils were collected at different distance from the edge of the main road (2, 10, 30, 40 and 60 meters). In each of the distance, roadside soil were collected at three depth of 0 -1 cm, 2 -4 cm and 4 -6 cm for the determination of pH, organic matter, organic carbon, Cu, Cd, Fe, Pb, As, Mn, Zn, Cd and Ni. pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter and organic carbon were determined using standard procedures, while heavy metals were determined using Perkin-Elmer Analyst 300 Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Zinc was observed to show the higher levels in all the sampling sites, such higher level can be related back to the wear-and-tear of vehicle components as a result of the stop-start traffic patterns and brake pads. The concentrations of all the metals in the four sampling sites decreased exponentially with distance from the edge of the road and dropped to the minimum levels at about 60 meters. Similarly, mean concentrations of Cu, Fe, Pb, As, Mn, Zn, Cd and Ni were significantly higher around the industrial area (Gboko road) and heavy traffic (Wurunkum) areas than other sampling areas followed an increasing trend with the increase in depth. The vertical movement of all the metals, exhibited predominant association with soil pH and organic carbon. From the results of this study, the pH of the roadside soils from all the sampling points ranged from 4.56 to 7.71, which enhances increased of heavy metals down the soil profiles. Organic carbon content ranged of 0.27% to 5.44% across all the sampling points appears to increase the mobility of all the metals to a depth 6 cm. The values of the heavy metals suggest that automobiles and traffic activities are a major source of these metals in the roadside soil within the study area. Also, with the exception of Pb, Fe and Cd, the levels of Cu, As, Mn, Zn and Ni in the present study were lower as compared with results found by other researcher in various countries worldwide.

In the current work a new method to extract and analyse pore water d 2 H and d 18O from drill core samples via H 2 O (liquid) -H 2 O (vapour) equilibrium laser spectroscopy is presented. The method combines a H 2 O (liquid) -H 2 O (vapour) equilibrium cell with a Los Gatos Research (LGR) cavity ring down mass spectrometer (CRDS) and follows and adaption of the original method presented by Wassenaar et al. (2008). Sediment and rock samples taken from a research site in New South Wales, Australia were first equilibrated in a fixed volume of dehumidified air and then directly sampled by the LGR mass spectrometer. Results provide clear evidence that the technique is repeatable and can be conducted on geologic media that contain volumetric water content as low as 5%, with H 2 O (liquid) -H 2 O (vapour) equilibrium occurring over time periods as short as 120 minutes. The faster sample analysis time and lower associated consumable and instrumentation costs of the method compared to conventional techniques for pore water extraction (centrifugation, squeezing, installation of monitoring bores, etc.) and analysis therefore presents great potential for field deployment, enabling hydrogeological profiling without the need to remove drill core samples from site.

These rare natural gas seeps provide opportunities for direct sampling of gas from subsurface hydrocarbon accumulations without the need for drilling or other costly means of petroleum exploration.We have documented a site in the northern Appalachian Basin, at Chestnut Ridge County Park, New York (Fig. 1, left), where gas seepage has supported a spectacular "eternal flame" throughout available recorded history, and which may have burnt naturally for many hundreds or even thousands of years. This remarkable flame marks a natural gas macroseep of dominantly thermogenic origin. Gas emanates directly from deep shale source rocks, probably the Rhinestreet Shale of the Upper Devonian West Falls Group, which makes this a rare case in contrast to most petroleum seepage systems where gas derives from conventional reservo...
