Wastewater characterization: evaluation of a bio-chemical method and preliminary results
1999
Stricker, Anne Emmanuelle | Heduit, A. | Lessard, P.
This paper presents some preliminary results on the implementation of a biodegradability batch test to fraction different types of wastewater samples to assess the variability of the WWTP influent composition.

La reduction des emissions d'ammoniac pour atteindre des objectifs environnementaux tels que stopper la diminution de la superficie des ecosystemes non proteges contre l'acidification et l'eutrophisation va occuper une place de plus en plus importante dans la strategie de lutte contre la pollution. En raison de la reduction des emissions d'oxydes de soufre et d'azote operee au cours des 20 dernieres annees dans le cadre de la Convention sur la pollution atmospherique transfrontiere a longue distance, il est fort probable qu'en 2010 c'est l'ammoniac qui contribuera le plus aux emissions gazeuses responsables de l'eutrophisation et de l'acidification. D'ou l'importance de prendre des maintenant des mesures efficaces contre ce polluant, et ce a l'echelle continentale

La pollution des ecosystemes terrestres par du cadmium d'origine industrielle (usine d'engrais phosphates) se traduit par des taches necrotiques au niveau des feuilles et par une accumulation importante de cet element dans ces feuilles et dans les horizons superficiels des sols. A proximite de la source d'emission, les taux de cadmium dans le sol depassent 10 fois les valeurs normales. Au niveau des feuilles, elles sont 10 a 30 fois plus elevees que chez les temoins et dependent de la nature de l'espece, de la distance (correlation negative) et des conditions topographiques

Factors Affecting Microbial Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Phenanthrene in the Caribbean Coastal Water
1999
Zaidi, B.R. | Imam, S.H.
Studies were conducted to assess factors that may influence the rate and extent of biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in waters of Guayanilla Bay (latitude, 18°N; longitude, 66.45°W) Puerto Rico. Phenanthrene was used as a model PAHs compound. Both the rate and extent of phenanthrene degradation by natural microbial flora present in seawater samples from Guayanilla Bay were quite slow. Addition of KNO3 as a source of inorganic nitrogen (N) resulted in a 10-fold increase in the rate of phenanthrene degradation within a 125 h period, whereas, addition of K2HPO4 as a source of inorganic nutrient phosphorus (P) had no effect. Phenanthrene degradation was strongly inhibited when seawater pH was adjusted to 10.0. Phenanthrene in seawater samples degraded rapidly when first pretreated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and then inoculated with a known indigenous phenanthrene degrading bacterium, Alteromonas sp. Pretreatment of phenanthrene with Triton-x-100 had little or no effect on its degradation by the same bacteria, whereas, degradation in samples preheated at 60°C was somewhat inhibited.
