This study aimed to determine the contamination status, dispersion mechanisms, and ecological health risks associated with trace elements in environmental media collected from abandoned lead zinc mine of Lakhouat, Northern Tunisia. A total 41 samples, including 3 tailings, 21 stream sediments 17 soils were analysed for some potentially toxic (As, Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn Zr). Among 10 that analysed, As, Pb exhibited considerably high concentrations tailings sediments. The Spearman rho...
A comparative study for 62 toxic chemicals based on the simultaneous monthly collection of aerosol samples during 2015-2016 in two coastal cities at both African (Bizerte, Tunisia) and European (Marseille, France) edges Western Mediterranean basin is presented. Legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (∑18PCBs) dibenzo-p-dioxins dibenzofurans (∑17PCDD/Fs) show generally higher median levels edge (2.1 0.2 pg m-3, respectively) compared to site (1.0 0.08 respectively). Contrarily, "emerging"...
A comprehensive hydrogeochemical survey of the geothermal waters from Nappe Zone (Maghrebides fold-and-thrust belt) was undertaken to determine origins and assess health risks associated with their potentially toxic elements. total 11 water 3 stream samples were collected analysed for major trace elements (As, B, Ba, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sr, Zn). Two main groups highlighted by diagrams multivariate analyses (PCA, HCA): first group is Na−Cl type, TDS > 10 g/L, controlled deep circulation, while...
Contamination by classic (polybromodiphenyl ethers, PBDEs) and emerging halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) like pentabromobenzene (PBEB), hexabromobenzene (HBB), decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE ) norbornenes (HNs), as well organophosphate (OPFRs) were investigated in sediment eel (Anguilla Anguilla) samples from Bizerte Lagoon, northern Tunisia. This is the first time that OPFR levels have been reported this area, showing higher concentrations than HFRs: 9.77 to 164 ng/g dry weight (dw)...
A laboratory bioassay was performed to assess the ecotoxicity of ciprofloxacin on a meiobenthic nematodes community from Bizerte lagoon (NE Tunisia). Four doses [D1 (50 µg/g), D2 (100 D3 (200 and D4 (500 µg/g)] were applied substrate, responses studied after one month. Discernible differences observed between control assemblages those populating treated substrates. All univariate indices affected significantly compared in microcosm with increasing antibiotic concentration. The non-parametric...
