Ecology of Industrial Pollution

Written for researchers and practitioners in environmental pollution, management


and ecology, this interdisciplinary account explores the ecological issues associated
with industrial pollution to provide a complete picture of this important
environmental problem from cause to effect to solution.
Bringing together diverse viewpoints from academia and environmental agencies
and regulators, the contributors cover such topics as biological resources of mining
areas, biomonitoring of freshwater and marine ecosystems and risk assessment of
contaminated land in order to explore important questions such as: What are the
effects of pollutants on functional ecology and ecosystems? Do current monitoring
techniques accurately signal the extent of industrial pollution? Does existing policy
provide a coherent and practicable approach? Case studies from throughout the
world illustrate major themes and provide valuable insights into the positive and
negative effects of industrial pollution, the provision of appropriate monitoring
schemes and the design of remediation and restoration strategies.

Lesley C. Batty is a Lecturer in Environmental Science at the University of


Birmingham, UK. Her research focuses on ecological aspects of industrial pollution,
particularly on the use of plants in remediation and the effects of mining activities on
the environment. She is a council member of the British Ecological Society and has
acted as a consultant to several government agencies and engineering companies
within the UK.
Kevin B. Hallberg is a Research Fellow in Environmental Microbiology at Bangor
University, UK. His research focuses on the microbial ecology of extremophilic
microorganisms, particularly the environmentally and industrially useful
acidophiles. He has acted as consultant for international mining companies as
well as governmental regulatory agencies including the International Atomic
Energy Agency.

Preface

This volume reflects the content of the Symposium on the Ecology of Industrial
Pollution which was held in Birmingham, UK, from 7 to 8 April 2008. The
principal aim of this symposium and the associated volume was to provide
an interdisciplinary analysis of a particular environmental problem that has
historically affected many parts of the world and continues to do so. One of the
key approaches was to obtain inputs from academics, enforcers and practitio-
ners in order to provide a balanced view of the issue and to identify any
potential areas of disagreement! Second, we recognised that, although many
of the individual components of pollutants are dealt with in meetings and
publications, there is little interaction between researchers who deal with the
‘pure science’ issues and those who deal with more technological aspects, nor
between microbiologists, botanists and zoologists. By bringing these normally
disparate areas together, we hoped to provide new research areas and more
importantly exchange of existing knowledge and experiences.
In our introduction we try to provide an overview of the key subject areas
covered within the volume and identify what we consider to be the principal
questions that were generated from discussions at the meeting. The remainder
of the book is not subdivided but instead the chapters are arranged into what
we hope to be a logical progression from the main ecological impacts through
monitoring techniques and finishing with ecological remediation technologies
and system recovery. The final chapter picks up on the developments in recent
years of the idea of ecosystem services and applies this to industrial pollution
to provide a new possibility for management of such systems. One area that we
must recognise was not covered in this volume is that of climate change
(undoubtedly a consequence of industrial activity). We felt that this was outside
the scope of this meeting and necessitates a volume to itself.
We hope that the readers find the material as stimulating and exciting as did
the attendees of the meeting.
Acknowledgements

We would like the opportunity to thank the British Ecological Society for their
support in the meeting and preparation of the volume, key members of staff
being Hazel Norman, Lindsay Haddon, Richard English and Hefin Jones. We
also recognise the input of Dr Adam Jarvis in the early stage of the symposium
and volume preparation. We would also like to thank the symposium speakers
who provided their chapters for this book. Without their commitment to the
project, we would never have made it past the first hurdle!
CHAPTER ONE

Consequences of living
in an industrial world
LESLEY C. BATTY AND KEVIN B. HALLBERG

Introduction
One of the first questions that faced us when preparing this introductory chapter
was ‘what do we mean by industry?’ In modern terms, one often refers to the
industrial revolution that began in the latter half of the eighteenth century,
which circumscribes the change from an agriculturally based economy to one
dominated by manufacturing. However, industrial processes have a history far
longer than this, and can be traced back to the Bronze Age and even before,
particularly the extraction of minerals. We could also consider agriculture to
be an industry as it is the extraction of raw resources albeit in a rather different
form. Therefore when we refer to industry, we are actually considering a very
wide range of processes and activities. Common to all these, however, is the fact
that the production of goods from raw resources creates by-products that can
pollute the environment and adversely affect ecosystems.
The industrial pollutants produced and their impacts are potentially as varied
as the sources from which they derive, and there has been extensive research into
specific effects of individual contaminants on specific organisms or communities.
The problem with this approach is that the resulting view is one that can be rather
blinkered. It is becoming increasingly clear that, rather than simply causing
deterioration of ecosystems, contaminated sites may well be sources of biodiver-
sity. Organisms living on such sites can show great genetic adaptation and may
prove useful in the remediation of other contaminated sites. In addition, the
limitations of ecological monitoring have potentially caused problems in the
assessment of impacts, and the detachment of research into remediation from
that of ecotoxicology has resulted in inappropriate application of technologies
and poor results in terms of restoration or remediation. Within this volume, we
have tried to select a number of different types of industry in order to illustrate
these general themes. It should be noted that, although many industrial processes
release(d) carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, we

University Press. # British Ecological Society 2010.

have chosen not to cover this topic within this volume. Climate change is linked to
many different causes (not just industry) and the discussions surrounding this
area are sufficiently complex to merit their own substantial volume. However, it
may be said that many of the key processes that result in impacts on ecological
systems and the limits to restoration ecology could be extremely important in
predicting responses and adaptation to climate change.

Impacts of industry
It is interesting to note the changing attitudes to industrial activity over the
years as nations develop. A good example of this is the activities associated with
the Parys Mountain copper mine on Anglesey, UK. In letters written in the late
eighteenth century by a professor studying the mining around the area, it is
reported that the copper is sent to factories in Flintshire where ‘. . .the view of
the valley. . .is particularly charming because the cotton spinning mills are
lit up from top to bottom and reflected in the ponds. . .’ and ‘. . . I think this is
the prettiest valley that I have ever seen. . .. Poverty and misery are not to be
found’ (Rothwell 2007). In contrast, Greenly (1919), when commenting on the
mining area itself reports that the ‘. . .higher and central portions are of
the most utter desolation imaginable’. It is easy to forget that the industrial
revolution led to great improvements in the wealth of many nations and did
indeed have positive impacts on human health (as well as the more widely
reported negative impacts). However, over the last decades the negative view of
industry as a major source of contamination to the environment has increased
in volume, particularly in recent years with the issue of climate change. If we
examine the effects of industry upon the ecological environment, then typi-
cally reports are of reduced biodiversity either through the direct toxic effects
of pollutants or through indirect effects on habitat quality and food webs. In
this volume, Purvis et al. (Chapter 3) and Batty et al. (Chapter 4) provide
examples of this as a result of air and water pollution, respectively.
It is the recognition of these negative impacts of industrial pollutants on the
environment that led to significant advances in the protection of both human
health and environmental health from the effects of pollution since the indus-
trial revolution. If we take air pollution as an example, then we can see that
over time changes in legislation and critically the Clean Air Act of 1956 have
acted to both reduce the incidences of respiratory illness and to significantly
reduce the concentrations of sulphur in the air, resulting in re-establishment
of clean air ecology (particularly lichens) in many previously affected areas
(Chapter 3). Equivalent legislative changes for freshwaters and soils have also
been implemented with the focus mainly on the protection of human health.
However, in recent years there has been a change in emphasis within developed
countries to also consider ecological health, as the importance of the function
of ecosystems in the health of the human environment has been recognised.
The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) is a key example where it is not
CONSEQUENCES OF LIVING IN AN INDUSTRIAL WORLD 3

simply the chemical environment that is considered, but a healthy ecological


status is also a key objective.
Through changes in legislation there has gradually been an improvement
in the quality of many environmental compartments within the landscape.
However, in many parts of the world, legislation is underdeveloped, or not
sufficiently implemented, resulting in continuing threats to the ecological
health of the receiving environment. In addition continuing advances in tech-
nology result in new pollutants such as those from the nanotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries (Chapter 5), and critically the effects of these on
organisms are largely unknown.
The long history of global industrial activity has led to the accumulation
of contaminants within the environment, especially where the pollutants in
question are persistent. It is therefore extremely important that, when con-
sidering the impacts of industry, we also recognise the potential contribution
of these historical sources to the impacts on current ecological communities.
Floodplain deposits, in-river sediments and ancient mine workings are a few
examples where old contamination can still affect present day ecosystems
(Chapter 2, Chapter 13 and Chapter 14, respectively).
It is a clear ecological concept that environmental heterogeneity within a
landscape can drive biological diversity (e.g., see Hutchings et al. 2000), but this
can also be true within polluted environments (Chapter 2). The presence of
highly metalliferous soils upon naturally occurring outcrops of metal ores has
led to the adaptation of a number of species (particularly plants, lichens and
bacteria) to these conditions, and indeed some may only survive where metal
concentrations are high. The exploitation of these resources by man has led to
these communities being extremely rare, but they can often survive and prolifer-
ate on abandoned sites. The lead rakes of the Peak District are a prime example
of this, where calminarian grasslands can be found (Barnatt & Penny 2004).
However, changing environmental legislation, the decline of industrial activity
and potentially also environmental change now pose a significant threat to these
highly biodiverse areas. For example, the requirement to meet the objectives
of the Water Framework Directive may result in the removal or remediation of
metal sources, such as spoil heaps from the environment. A number of different
threats to these unique communities are identified by Baker et al. (Chapter 2).
More modern remains of industry are also proving to be valuable as refuges
for threatened species. The move from a manufacturing based economy to one
based largely on service industry within many countries in the developed
world has led to large areas of so-called brownfield land, which are often
contaminated by a mixture of pollutants. The lack of human access, together
with particular environmental conditions has allowed the colonisation of these
areas with a range of species. Although this has not been dealt with in this
volume, readers are directed to Chapter 3 of Natural England’s Report on the
State of the Natural Environment (2008).

Monitoring ecological response to pollution


If we are to determine the impacts of pollutants upon ecosystems and their
recovery following remediation, it is absolutely essential that we have a robust
method of monitoring. There have been significant advances in the methods
of monitoring freshwater systems, details of which are provided in Jones et al.
(Chapter 6); however, it is clear that there are several challenges to be met.
The first of these is to define what is meant by the term ‘reference condition’.
It is a term used in many key pieces of legislation (including the WFD) to assess
an ecological community in relation to the community that is expected to be
present based on ‘reference conditions’. However, due to the extent of human
impact both on a temporal and spatial scale it is difficult to find a ‘real’
example of this, or to model one. It is the general consensus that, when
tackling pollution within the environment, the aim is not to attain a reference
condition that reflects pre-industrial conditions (Chapter 6) but rather to
achieve high quality and sustainable water resources. However, as Gell points
out (Chapter 8), it may be preferable to have pre-industrial baseline targets due
to future risks from pollutants (in the form of sediments) on the longevity of
a system (current evaluation of status shows little divergence from a standard
reference condition). The relative value of monitoring against some ideal
ecological community is a concept that is clearly questionable.
There has been far less progress in the ecological monitoring of either land or
marine environments in terms of ecological impacts. It is suggested that, rather
than using a similar system used for freshwaters where the physical environ-
ment is very different, for marine environments sediment toxicity testing to
monitor lethal and more importantly sub-lethal effects would be more benefi-
cial (Chapter 7). This idea that sub-lethal effects may be of critical importance
is also highlighted in other systems where there is a need for new toxicity tests
for emerging contaminants due to the inappropriate nature of existing tests
that lack subtle endpoints (Chapter 5). The assessment of land contamination
is notoriously difficult due to the extremely heterogeneous nature of soils
which strongly control the bioavailability of contaminants. There has been some
attempt to assess contamination using chemical approaches (production of Soil
Guideline Values for a number of contaminants), but the limitations of these are
extensive, and there is little if any link to the ecology of the area. Recent work
has made progress in providing a much clearer link between land contami-
nation and associated communities using a risk-based approach (Chapter 9),
and the success of this approach will be monitored in forthcoming years.

Remediation and ecological recovery


We now return to the previous question of ‘reference conditions’. Whenever
the remediation of a contaminated site and its associated ecological recovery is
considered, a ‘target’ must be defined by which the remediation activity can be
CONSEQUENCES OF LIVING IN AN INDUSTRIAL WORLD 5

deemed a success. However, as we have previously highlighted, there is a question


as to where this point should lie. Is the aim to return an environment to its pre-
contaminated conditions, or alternatively should the target be a particular com-
munity composition, such as the presence of a rare species, or more generally a
sustainable water resource? It appears that returning a particular habitat to its
pre-industrial conditions is an unrealistic goal for two main reasons. The first of
these is a lack of good quality data that provide a detailed characterisation of the
abiotic and biotic components of any environment. Although there has been some
attempt to use palaeoecological data (Chapter 8), this is limited in many environ-
ments due to preservation, and the lack of consistency in methods and data
analysis has been highlighted (Chapter 6). The second is that, even where more
recent data are available, it is evident that the community does not return to its
previous state even when given sufficient time. Tibbett, Williams et al., Langford
et al., Batty et al. and Purvis (Chapters 15, 14, 13, 4 and 3, respectively) all report
that, despite improvements in the physico-chemical environment, either through
a decline in industry or active remediation activities, the community does not
return to its pre-contaminated state (or other target condition). This constraint to
recovery is probably due to the lack of sources of colonising organisms, lack of
physical habitat (although chemical conditions may improve), the impact of other
pollutants in the environment (other than those directly targeted by remediation)
and transfer of industrial pollutants from long-term sources (such as sediments)
not tackled by remediation. In addition, ecological function may continue to
be impaired as a result of the changes in community structure, although there
is little information on the causes of ecological dysfunction in recovering commu-
nities (Chapter 15).
The presence of adapted organisms on industrially contaminated sites provides
a potential opportunity to exploit these organisms for either the stabilisation of
such sites or active remediation. The potential for using metallophyte plants in
the remediation of metalliferous soils has been postulated for a number of years
and successfully applied in some cases; however, this potential is rather under-
exploited due to a lack of knowledge of the mechanisms of adaptation and
metabolic and genetic responses to pollutants (Chapter 2). Rather more progress
has been made in the use of bacteria in remediation activities, particularly where
the land is contaminated by organic pollutants or radionuclides (Chapters 12
and 11, respectively). Advances in knowledge of the genetics involved in adapta-
tion of microorganisms and mechanisms of action in remediation processes
(Chapter 10) provides great potential for these organisms to be applied in many
situations, particularly where there are problems of mixed contaminants.

Conclusions
This volume provides an overview of the impacts of industrial pollution, ways
of monitoring and remediation and recovery of such systems. It is clear that,
6 LESLEY C. BATTY AND KEVIN B. HALLBERG

although in many countries the main polluting industries have now declined
or in fact ceased, the legacy of industrial activity continues to affect ecological
communities, and changes in industrial processes now provide new potentially
harmful substances within the environment. The need therefore to understand
the links between the contaminating substances and the ecological responses
both on an individual organism and whole ecosystem level is vital. Only when
this is achieved will we be able to appreciate the full extent of the impacts,
provide appropriate monitoring schemes and design remediation strategies
that best tackle the specific problems. A number of key questions arise within
this volume:

How important is pollution in driving diversification in communities?


To what extent do polluted areas constitute a valuable habitat for rare species?
What are the limitations of resilience and/or functional redundancy within an
impacted community?
Is biomonitoring effective and accurate in assessing the extent of contamin-
ation within an environment?
Are ‘reference conditions’ helpful in either monitoring or restoration/remediation?
Can adapted organisms effectively be used in remediation technologies and
how can this potential be maximised?

Although significant progress has been made in all these areas, there is
clearly the need for further research in order to create more integrated and
sustainable management of our industrial areas (Chapter 16).
