ASSESSING THE SELECTED HEAVY METALS CONCENTRATION ON PALM OIL SOIL AND FRUIT FARM SOIL

Concentration of Heavy Metals in Soil and Staple Crops and the Associated Health Risk

Background & Aims of the Study: The main objectives of the current research were (1) to study the extent of soil pollution by heavy metals (Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ba and Li) in sampling locations (2) to investigate the extent of heavy metal pollution and soil to plant transfer of these elements in wheat and barley (3) to study the health risk of heavy metals via consum...

The influence of selected soil parameters on the mobility of heavy metals in soils

Levels of selected heavy metals in soil, tomatoes and selected vegetables from Lushoto district-Tanzania

This study involved the determination of heavy metals of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var botrytis L.), carrot root (Daucus carota L.), tomato fruit (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.), onion bulb (Allium cepa L.) and leafy cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var capitata L.) and the respective soils from Lushoto District, Tanzania. Samples were collected from eight growing ...

Content of Heavy Metals as a Criterium of the Quality of Strawberry Fruit and Soil Properties

The environmental study, carried out in the Lublin region, was aimed at assessment of strawberry fruit quality based on the contents of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, As, Hg) and finding correlation between these heavy metals and some properties of soil and plant. Heavy metals in soil and fruits were determined with ASA method, other analyses according to research procedures of the laborator...

Soil and Soilless Cultivation Influence on Nutrients and Heavy Metals Availability in Soil and Plant Uptake

Nowadays, most countries especially in arid and dry climate zones had experienced the water scarcity problems. In the agricultural sector, freshwater play a major role to supply water for the plant grows. Thus, the reuse of wastewater as alternative water resources in agricultural is highly recommended. However, wastewater is always contaminated despite after secondary treatment. Along benefici...
