Phytoremediation for Arsenic Contamination: Arsenate Reductase Phytoremediation for Arsenic Contamination: Arsenate Reductase
Arsenic is a toxic pollutant present in the environment that causes serious health issues. Phytoremediation is one potential solution to mitigate arsenic contamination in either soil or water. Two main forms of arsenic exist in the environment, arsenite, [As(III)], and arsenate, [As(V)]. In plant mechanisms, arsenate reductase reduces arsenate to arsenite with the help of thioredoxins or glutar...
متن کاملArsenic contamination of groundwater: a Bangladesh survey
A series of surveys has been conducted in two rural communities of northeastern Bangladesh where a nationwide contamination of groundwater by geologically originated arsenic has been reported. The arsenic concentrations of the tubewell water (twAs), which has been used for drinking and cooking, varied considerably within the small geographical area, as did the urinary arsenic concentrations (uA...
متن کاملEvolution of gap junctions: the missing link?
Connexin molecules form gap-junction channels in vertebrates and there are at least 20 of them in humans [1]. Intuitively, one would imagine that cardinal features of the cellular machinery, such as gap-junctions, would be highly conserved. Paradoxically, however, Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans do not have connexin genes, but instead use innexins for gap-junctional communication, a prote...
متن کاملArsenic contamination and arsenicosis in China.
Arsenicosis is a serious environmental chemical disease in China mainly caused by drinking water from pump wells contaminated by high levels of arsenic. Chronic exposure of humans to high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water is associated with skin lesions, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, blackfoot disease, and high risk of cancers. Lead by the Ministry of Health of China, we ...
متن کاملArsenic Contamination in Groundwater: a Statistical Modeling
High arsenic in natural groundwater in most of the tubewells of the PurbasthaliBlock II area of Burdwan district (W.B, India) has recently been focused as a serious environmental concern. This paper is intending to illustrate the statistical modeling of the arsenic contaminated groundwater to identify the interrelation of that arsenic contain with other participating groundwater parameters so t...
