“…In soil analyses mercury intrusion porosimetry can provide valuable information for soil conservationists, such as the result of land usage on soil conductivity (Pagliai et af. 1995) and the effects of organic amendments, used to enrich soils with low organic matter, on sorption and movement of pesticides (Cox et al 1997). In semi-arid areas lack of bedrock description may lead to underestimates of total storage capacity of water available for plants; mercury intrusion porosimetry produces more accurate soil-rock profiles, which can be used to assess site productivity (Zwieniecki and Newton 1996).…”

Porosiry measurements made on archaeological bones have revealed very close relationships between changes in the porosity, remaining protein content and mineral alterations. The results have important implications for models that attempt to quantih the rates and extent of chemicul reaction between bone and its geochemical environment. We report here on a novel application of an established technique, mercury intrusion porosimetry, to investigate in more detail the pore size distribution of archaeological bones. Mercury intrusion porosimetry measures an 'intermediate' range of bone porosity, 'mesoporosity ', and produces data which permit the observation of signiJcant structure characteristics in the porosity of modem, laboratory altered and diagenetically altered bones.

“…Industrial effluent has been widely used for agricultural purposes nowadays. Researchers have tried industrial effluent from paper mill (Rajanan and Oblisami 1979;Pushpavalli 1990 andSrinivasachari 2000), sugar mil (Zalawadia et al 1997 andKathiresan et al 1998) (Cox et al 1997) were assessed. These research papers in general advocates the cautious use of effluent (i.e) dilution and irrigation for non-consumable crops.…”

The aim of this work was to study the effect of the application of a solid waste from olive oil production (alperujo) on the movement and persistence of the herbicide diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea]. The application of alperujo, fresh or composted, to the land has been shown to be an extremely effective contribution to increasing crop yields and to maintaining or improving soil fertility. An experimental olive grove located in Mengibar (Jaen, Spain) was divided into two plots: 1. Plot without organic amendment (blank) and 2. Plot treated with alperujo during 3 years at a rate of 17920 kg of alperujo ha -1. Diuron was applied to both plots at a rate of 2 kg ha -1 a.i. Triplicates from each plot were sampled at three depths (0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm), air-dried, remains of olive leaves, grass roots, and stones removed and sieved through a 5 mm mesh sieve. Diuron was extracted with methanol 1:2 weight:volume ratio, the extracts were evaporated to dryness, resuspended in 2 mL of methanol, filtered and analyzed by HPLC. Higher amounts of diuron were detected at each sampling depth in plots treated with alperujo. The increase in soil organic matter content upon amendment with alperujo slightly increased sorption, suggesting that other factors beside sorption affect diuron degradation rate in organic amended soils.
