A case of arsenic contamination has recently been detected in the Lami coastal environment during course a heavy metal monitoring Fiji's environment. Twenty two surficial sediment samples were sampled 2008–2009 period, extracted for and analysed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Two sites within estuary recorded highest As levels 334 282 mg kg–1 as dry weight sediments samples, which greatly exceeded local global average background concentrations. Chemical fractionation...
Due to the wide occurrence of environmental pollution, heavy metals need be closely monitored in aquatic environment because its ecotoxicological effects on biota. In this regard, biomonitoring as a tool for assessment metal pollution ecosystem is quite appealing. Therefore, study was conducted investigate algae potential bio indicator ofheavy an Fiji. Spirogyra sp. sampled from mining impacted water resource and analysed (manganese, copper, chromium, lead zinc) using atomic absorption...

Arsenic mobilisation from anthropogenic sources can have a significant impact on water resources andpose serious concern to human health. Therefore, the objectives of this investigation were determinethe levels arsenic contamination in and evaluate associated health risks tothe local residents mining environment Fiji. Concentrations determined at fifteensampling stations located Dakavono Creek, Lololevu Creek Nasivi River Vatukoula GoldmineRegion over period time. ranged 0.87-43.03 μg l-1,...
