Assessment of Metal Levels in Fresh Milk from Cows Grazed around Challawa Industrial Estate of Kano, Nigeria
Milk is a very important component of human diet. The presence of toxic element in milk may create significant health problems. In this study, metal levels of fresh cow milk were determined. Fresh milk samples were collected from 17 cows grazed around challawa industrial estate, Kano and 9 cows grazed on open fields in Zaria, Kaduna state. Metal levels were determined using Atomic Absorption Sp...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of contaminated soils and groundwater: lessons from the field.
BACKGROUND, AIM, AND SCOPE The use of plants and associated microorganisms to remove, contain, inactivate, or degrade harmful environmental contaminants (generally termed phytoremediation) and to revitalize contaminated sites is gaining more and more attention. In this review, prerequisites for a successful remediation will be discussed. The performance of phytoremediation as an environmental r...
متن کاملAbility of some crops for phytoremediation of nickel and zinc heavy metals from contaminated soils
The present study was aimed at comparing the ability of three crop plants for phytoremediation of zinc (Zn) and nickel (Zn) from soils. A factorial (3×2×3) experiment based on RCBD was used to compare the treatments, and was repeated three times. The first factor was crop type (wheat, clover and rapeseed), the second factor was heavy metal types (zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni)) and the third factor ...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soils: the rhizosphere effect.
The objective in the first phase of this study was to screen alfalfa, flatpea, sericea lespedeza, deertongue, reed canarygrass, switchgrass, and tall fescue for phytoremediation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated soil. During the second phase, the focus was rhizosphere characterization to optimize PCB phytoremediation. Aroclor 1248 (PCB) was added to soil at 100 mg x kg(-1) of soil....
متن کاملRecent advances in phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated soils
Arsenic contamination in soils occurs widely in a range of ecosystems resulting from geological origins and anthropogenic activities. On average, arsenic concentration ranges from 5 to 10 mg kg−1 in uncontaminated soils and above 10 mg kg−1 in contaminated soils (Hossain, 2006). Increased buildup of arsenic in irrigated soils has been widely recognized in South and South-east Asia (Brammer and ...
