DURHAM, N.C. -- Water pollution from surface coal mining has degraded more than 22 percent of streams and rivers in southern West Virginia to the point they may now qualify as impaired under state criteria, according to a new study by scientists at Duke and Baylor.
The study, published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Science & Technology, documents substantial losses in aquatic insect biodiversity and increases in salinity linked to sulfates and other pollutants in runoff from mines often located miles upstream.
"Our findings offer concrete evidence of the cumulative impacts surface mining is having on a regional scale," said Emily S. Bernhardt, associate professor of biogeochemistry at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment. "The relationship is clear and direct. The more mining you have upstream, the higher the biological loss and salinity levels will be downstream, and the farther they will extend."
Numerous recent studies have demonstrated the water-quality problems caused at or near the site of individual surface coal mines, Bernhardt noted. She and her team "set out to understand how the large and growing number of surface mines is affecting water quality throughout Appalachia."
They used NASA satellite images and computer data to map the extent of surface mining taking place across a 12,000-square-mile area of the southern West Virginia coalfields between 1976 and 2005.
They found that companies had converted more than five percent of the land into mine sites and buried 480 miles of streams beneath adjacent valley fills during this period.
Chemical and biological data from 223 streams sampled by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection between 1997 and 2007 were combined with mapping to help the researchers determine that pollution runoff from the mines could substantially degrade more than 1,400 miles of streams in the region. That's four times the length of streams buried by the valley fills.
"It's important to recognize that surface coal mining pollution doesn't stop at mine-permit boundaries," said Brian D. Lutz, a postdoctoral associate in Bernhardt's lab.
"Our analysis suggests that mining only five percent of the land surface is degrading between 22 percent and 32 percent of the region's rivers," he said.
Substantial declines in insect diversity began to occur when companies had mined as little as one percent of upstream land, the analysis showed. In areas where companies had converted about five percent of the land into mines, sensitive species such as mayflies and stoneflies had vanished or declined to an extent that the streams would qualify as biologically impaired under criteria set by the state of West Virginia.
The designation means the streams could be placed on a list of waterways that the state must take steps to rehabilitate.
"What is so compelling is that we found many different types of organisms are lost downstream of surface coal mines, and most of them begin to disappear at similar levels of mining," said Ryan S. King, associate professor of biology at Baylor. "Our analysis shows that coal mining is leading to widespread declines in aquatic biodiversity in Appalachian streams."

Carter, a 2010 master's graduate of the Nicholas School, now at TetraTech; Ashley M. Helton, postdoctoral associate in Duke's Department of Biology; John Amos of SkyTruth; and David Campagna, of Campagna & Associates.

People who are in love associate this to bliss. True, as it seems as everyone has a longing to be satisfied, secured, trusted and most importantly happy. In romantic relationship, love brings out intimacy. A simple touch on the hand of your partner or perhaps hugging sends some electrifying volts to your senses that make you crave for more. We associated this to the assurance and that intimacy signals another level of romantic relationship. Hence, this two romantic people felt secured that his partner needs her in the same way that she needs him.
Physiologically, love is associated with the hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin comes from the Greek word meaning "quick birth" because that large amount of this hormone are release at the time of giving birth. Oxytocin is also responsible for the twitter pated effect when your partner looks at you or holds your hand or gives you an embrace. Oxytocin is the hormone that stimulates during touching, fondling, hugging and during arousal or orgasm. This hormone is active most especially to those who claims that they are in love. It is the same explanations for those who suffered oxycodone addiction.
When in a romantic relationship, physiological explanations are immaterial because people are so focus on the pleasures they get from being in love; we even termed love as mysterious. However, love can be explained in Science on how it breeds emotions. Only few are aware that love addiction is like oxycodone addiction. Love can control you. In the same way that alcohol or drugs can control human life if abused. In such relationship, both parties are not growing anymore. They tend to depend to their partner, as if they cannot live without him/her or already used in attending the needs of their partner that they also forget their own needs.
Just like any other kind of addiction, love in its first stage gives you different feeling of happiness and security that you to tend to seek for more and crave for more and begging for more.
Love does not always mean happiness,nor pure pleasure, and not even magical. It may be a wonderful experience a person cannot afford to lose. However, in every form of relationship - romantic, filial, camaraderie, parental, it all needs responsibility to nurture the feelings so that both parties grow together in it. They should share the same sentiments, and should respect one another's needs and liberty. Go and grow with other people too. It is a challenge for everybody, in love or not, to let love nourish your being and your partner. Love addiction is simply love being abused on its own.

GENEVA (Reuters) - - Turkey is closing its border with Syria to commercial traffic but will keep it open for refugees fleeing the Syrian conflict, a UNHCR spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
"We've received assurances that it is staying open. The border is closed for all commercial traffic in both directions, that is what we heard from the Turkish government," Sybella Wilkes, spokeswoman of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told Reuters.
About 300 Syrians had crossed overnight into Turkey, she added, some of them are using informal crossing points.
"The Turkish government is still actively welcoming refugees and offering them protection," Wilkes said.
Earlier, an official from the Turkish Customs and Trade Ministry told Reuters that all Turkey's border gates with Syria were to be closed from Wednesday, in response to worsening security conditions.
Crossing the border had become increasingly hazardous for truck drivers involved in trade between the two countries. They faced the constant risk of being targeted by combatants or caught in the crossfire between the two sides.
In all some 120,000 Syrian refugees have registered with UNHCR in four neighboring countries - Iraq (7,490), Jordan (36,323), Lebanon (31,004) and Turkey (43,387) - since fighting erupted 16 months ago.
In the past few weeks, the rate of Syrians arriving in Jordan has doubled to 1,200-1,300 per day, stretching a transfer facility overflowing with 6,500 people staying in desert conditions, Wilkes said. The agency is urgently building a camp with tents at Za'atri in Mafraq.
"We are quite literally working overnight to get it ready. We may need to move in thousands of people," she said.
