Sequential extraction procedure was employed in sediment samples for the geochemical partitioning of the metals. Total trace metal content in water and sediment samples were analyzed and compared with different standard and reference values. Concentration of total chromium, lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, nickel, cobalt and arsenic in water samples were greatly exceeded the toxicity reference values in both season. Concentration of chromium, lead, copper and nickel in sediment samples were mostly higher than that of severe effect level values, at which the sediment is considered heavily polluted. On average 72 % chromium, 92 % lead, 88 % zinc, 73 % copper, 63 % nickel and 68 % of total cobalt were associated with the first three labile sequential extraction phases, which portion is readily bioavailable and might be associated with frequent negative biological effects.

  • Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sediment of the Louhajang River, Bangladesh
    Research Article Published: 04 Apr, 2019 SF Journal of Environmental and Earth Science Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sediment of the Louhajang River, Bangladesh Kormoker T1*, Proshad R2 and Islam MS2 1Department of Emergency Management, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Dumki, Patuakhali, Bangladesh 2Department of Soil Science, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Dumki, Patuakhali, Bangladesh Abstract Heavy metal pollution in sediment of the riverine ecosystem is regarded as a major problem in developing countries like Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to assess the contamination level of heavy metals and their ecological in sediments of the Louhajang River, Bangladesh. Certain indices, including the enrichment factor (EF), pollution load index (PLI), geoaccumulation index i (Igeo), and contamination factor (C f) were used to assess the ecological risk. The mean concentration of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb in sediments was 9.205, 7.676, 17.727, 8.999, 0.083, and 4.597 mg/ kg, respectively. Metals in sediment during winter were higher than summer season. Enrichment i factor (EF), contamination factor (C f), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), and pollution load index (PLI) revealed lower contamination of sediments by the studied heavy metals. The sum of toxic units at different sampling sites was less than 4, indicating a low toxicity of heavy metals in sediments of the study river. Considering the severity of potential ecological risk for single metal, the descending order of pollutants was As > Cu > Cd > Ni > Pb > Cr. In view of the potential ecological risk, sediments of Louhajang River showed low potential ecological risk. Keywords: Surface sediment; Heavy metal; Ecological risk; Bangladesh Introduction Contamination of heavy metals in the environment has attracted a wide concern due to the ever- increasing pollution of soil, sediment and water in many regions of the world, especially in some developing countries like Bangladesh [1-6].

Mondal, S.K. Bala, G.M.T. Islam, M.A. Haque, M.R. Islam & S. Biswas Institute of Water and Flood Management, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Hydrological and morphological studies of about 50 rivers in Bangladesh have been done over the last few years. The studies were conducted in relation to 188number of bridges proposed to be constructed on these rivers. The hydrological studies included estimation of flood discharge, level, velocity, hydraulic depth, flow area, etc., based on flood frequency and/or model studies. Flood frequency analysis was carried out using the Lognormal, Gumbel’s Extreme Value Type I, Pearson and Log Pearson probability distribution functions. One-dimensional hydrodynamic model was also used to generate design hydraulic parameters at the selected river locations. The morphological studies included assessment of stability of the river sites using time series satellite image analysis, quasi-three dimensional morphodynamic modeling, cross-sectional analy- sis and field observations. Spatial distribution of various parameters was then investigated. The findings indi- cate that some areas/rivers are hydro-morphologically more active and vulnerable than the others. Even the vulnerability of the same river varies depending on the location. Accordingly, hydraulic intervention in some rivers are found to be more challenging than in others. 1 INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a country of rivers.

  • The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
    THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr.

  • Aquatic Ecology and Dangerous Substances: Bangladesh Perspective
    Diffuse Pollution Conference Dublin 2003 8C Ecology: AQUATIC ECOLOGY AND DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVE Institute for Environment and Development Studies 5/12-15, Eastern view (5th floor), 50, D.I.T Extension Road, Dhaka -1000, Bangladesh. E-mail: [email protected] ; Phone: +880 2 9354128 ; Fax: +880 2 8315394 Bangladesh had always been predominantly and agricultural based country and in early days pollution was never even felt in this region. Since early sixties, of necessity, industries of various kinds started to spring up slowly. It appears in a survey that ecological imbalance is being caused continuously due to discharge of various industrial wastes into air and water bodies. It has also been found that the intensity of pollution caused by the factories and industrial units depend on their type, location, raw materials, chemical effects, production process and discharge of gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants to the natural environment. All of Bangladesh's sewage and industrial wastes are flushed directly into Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. There are wide spread fears that as the region develops in industrial infrastructure, industrial pollution will accelerate, compounding the problems posed by raw municipal wastes. About 900 polluting industries in Bangladesh dispose of untreated industrial wastes directly into rivers, although the effluents contain 10 to 100 times the allowable levels permissible for human health. The Ganges-Brahmaputra delta is the largest delta in the world and the rivers contribute one-third of the global sediment transport to the world oceans. The rivers flow through 10 per cent global population and carry untreated rural, urban, municipal and industrial wastes to the Bay of Bengal.
