Abstract. Deposition and accumulation of light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosol on glacier surfaces can alter the energy balance glaciers. In this study, 2 years (December 2014 to December 2016) continuous observations aerosols in glacierized region Mt. Yulong Ganhaizi (GHZ) basin are analyzed. The average elemental carbon (EC) organic (OC) concentrations were 1.51±0.93 2.57±1.32 µg m−3, respectively. Although annual mean OC ∕ EC ratio was 2.45±1.96, monthly during post-monsoon season even...
The concentration of 13 metals (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg) their associated health risk assessment was performed for two Himalayan lakes, urban Phewa remote Gosainkunda, from Nepal. Water Quality Index (WQI), Metal (MI), Hazard Quotient (HQ), Index, Cancer Risk were calculated in order to evaluate the water quality these lakes. Correlation analysis revealed that Mn Fe derived natural geological weathering processes Cd might have originated anthropogenic sources....
The Fifth International Conference on Bioscience and Biotechnology, 2024 (ICBB-2024), held in Godawari, Nepal, from 21 to 24 April 2024, aimed address planetary health challenges within the local context of Nepal while fostering global dialogue. Bringing together 240 participants 10 countries, including 20 international invited speakers, conference sought explore intersections human health, environmental sustainability, societal well-being. Jointly organized by Research Institute for...
During post-monsoon 2013, surface water samples were collected form 34 sites from the Bagmati River and its tributaries within Kathmandu Valley to assess river quality. The physical parameters measured on site major ions (Na + ,<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">N</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">H</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn...
Rivers originating from the Himalayas play a crucial role as primary water sources for significant proportion of population in Asia downstream. This paper presents comprehensive synthesis hydrogeochemical data, incorporating major ions and trace elements 153 papers spanning 2000 to 2023, with detailed analysis 20 specific Nepal Himalayan rivers. To bridge research gap due sparse we aimed enhance inclusivity by amalgamating both seasonal one-time datasets, computing mean values singular...
ABSTRACT Cryoconite is a dark-coloured granular sediment that contains biological and mineralogical components, it plays pivotal role in geochemistry, carbon cycling glacier mass balance. In this work, we collected cryoconite samples from Laohugou Glacier No. 12 (LHG) on the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau during summer of 2015 measured spectral albedo. To explore impacts surface ablation, ice melting differences between cryoconite-free (removed) intact layers were compared. The results showed...
The fragile Himalayan region could be regarded as the sink for various pollutants transported from urbanized and polluted areas of South Asia. Therefore, in order to understand concentrations, spatial distribution, pollution, risk assessments toxic heavy metal, mercury (Hg), surface soil samples were taken central Himalayas Langtang region. average THg concentration was 35.75 ± 24.41(ngg−1), which is comparable Tibetan top values slightly lower than world values. In addition, an inverse...
Lumbini is a world heritage site located in the southern plains region of Nepal, and regarded as potential for evaluating transboundary air pollution due to its proximity border with India. In this study, 82 aerosol samples were collected between April 2013 July 2014 investigate levels particulate-bound mercury (PBM) corresponding seasonality, sources, influencing factors. The PBM concentration total suspended particulate (TSP) matter ranged from 6.8 pg m−3 351.7 (mean 99.7 ± 92.6 m−3),...
