Correlation of Emerging Substances and Physiological Groups of Microorganisms in Surface Water of River Moraca

Correlation of Emerging Substances and Physiological Groups of Microorganisms in Surface Water of River Moraca



Radonjic Drazana



The article focuses on the reliable screening analyses of water quality
of river Morača section near Podgorica, Montenegro. Sampling of
screening analyses of surface water samples from the locality Vukovci,
the lower course of the riverMorača during 2012 and 2013. The water
samples were analysed by GC-MS. The compounds occurring most frequently
in the analysed water samples were phthalates, PAHsdetergents, personal
care products, flame retardants, , and corrosive residues, benzoate,
pesticides, decane and the additive residues. Dibutyl phthalate, diethyl
phthalate, dioctyl phthalate which are on the NORMAN list of emerging
substances, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, which is on the list of the
WFD priority substances, were detected in all the examined samples. A
large group of terpenes, such as nerol, citronellol, menthol, ionone,
and compounds as camphor, ethyl citrate or methyl jasmonate that could
be found in cosmetics, personal care products or home cleaning products
were determined in river samples. The presence of hormones in all the
surface water samples indicates human or animal faecal pollution, while
the detected caffeine in all samples confirms an anthropogenic impact.A
significant number of separated organic components spaces were not
defined, which is acause for performance of microbiological analysis in
the presence of physiological groups of microorganisms. The identified
compounds can be associated with the presence of specific physiological
groups of microorganisms at the site, which can in many ways reduce
environmental stress due to their functional and significant role in
ecosystem.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and correlation method that is used for collecting information. The statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to participate,the reasons for la...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
