A pipeline carrying furnace/black oil from Butcher Island to the petrochemical complex at Mahul in Mumbai started leaking during 3rdweek of October 2013 and went unnoticed till first week of November 2013. The alignment ...
An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)
The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ...
Influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the water quality of the coastal waters around the South Andaman in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2015)
During the last decade, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) have witnessed a marginal population growth with associated variations and degradation in the water quality of the inhabited coastal region. Monthly water quality ...
Exploring rhizosphere bacteria of Eichhornia crassipes for metal tolerance and biological activity
(GSTF, 2015)
With urbanization and rapid industrial progress, water bodies around the world are getting highly polluted with metals. Bacteria have evolved several mechanisms to adapt to heally metal contaminants thus representing a ...
Environmental issues of deep-sea mining
(Elsevier, 2015)
As terrestrial mineral deposits are either depleting or of low grade, minerals from the deep-sea like the polymetallic nodules, cobalt rich crusts and polymetallicsulfides are considered as alternative sources for metals ...
Export of dissolved inorganic nutrients to the northern Indian Ocean from the Indian monsoonal rivers during discharge period
