Bioaccumulation and detection of trace levels of cadmium in aquatic systems by Eichhornia crassipes
The water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) may be used as a sensitive biological indicator for continuously monitoring trace quantities of toxic heavy metals in aquatic systems. A river water system polluted with cadmium was simulated while other factors of temperature, day-night cycle, water quality, and light intensity remained constant. When the water hyacinth is maintained in river water con...
متن کاملAllelopathic Effects of Water Hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes]
Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms is an invasive weed known to out-compete native plants and negatively affect microbes including phytoplankton. The spread and population density of E. crassipes will be favored by global warming. The aim here was to identify compounds that underlie the effects on microbes. The entire plant of E. crassipes was collected from El Zomor canal, River Nile (Egypt), w...
متن کاملFixed Bed Biosorption Using Aquatic Macrophyte in Lead Removal
Adsorption process is an efficient alternative in metal ions removal. Many materials can be used in this process; among them, we can cite biological materials such as aquatic macrophytes. The macrophytes have shown a high percentage of metal ions removal and they have an advantage of being low cost and have the possibility of growing. In view of this, the aim of this work is evaluate lead remov...
متن کاملLead tolerance of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart. - Pontederiaceae) as defined by anatomical and physiological traits.
This study aimed at verifying the lead tolerance of water hyacinth and at looking at consequent anatomical and physiological modifications. Water hyacinth plants were grown on nutrient solutions with five different lead concentrations: 0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 4.00 mg L-1 by 20 days. Photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and the Ci/Ca rate were measured at the end of 15 days of ...
متن کاملMicroanalyzer for biomonitoring lead (Pb) in blood and urine.
Biomonitoring of lead (Pb) in blood and urine enables quantitative evaluation of human occupational and environmental exposures to Pb. State-of-the-art ICP-MS instruments can only analyze metals in laboratories, resulting in lengthy turnaround times, and they are expensive. In response to the growing need for a metal analyzer capable of on-site, real-time monitoring of trace toxic metals in ind...
