Radon Assessment in Ceratophyllum demersum Plant Samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amount of radioactive isotopes in submerged Ceratophyllum demersum plants samples were estimated using passive track detector CR-39. collected from four selected sites along the Tigris River Baghdad city, on a monthly basis for one complete year 2019. Certain factors like radon concentration (Bq.m-3), radium content (Bq.kg-1) and uranium (ppm) evaluated. average values 222Rn level, 226Ra 238U site (1) (593.1 Bq.m-3, 5.8 Bq.kg-1, 0.113 ppm), (2) (413.4 3.8 0.074 Site (3) (465.5 4.3 0.083 ppm) (4) (431.3 3.9 0.077 respectively. results obtained this work indicated that present demrsum is acceptable which does not pose any risk to aquatic ecosystem.

Trace Elements Removal from Waster water by Ceratophyllum demersum
Trace element contamination in aquatic ecosystems is one of the most important concerning of environmental health. Submerged aquatic plants can be used for the removal of Trace elements. The aim of this study was to investigate how Ceratophyllum demersum could affect on wastewater quality for recycling the wastewater to reuse for other purposes in agriculture and industrial fields. In this surv...
متن کاملRole of Ceratophyllum demersum in recycling macro elements from wastewater
Water is one of the most stable and abundant complexes on nature that can be polluted with natural and human factors. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a timely warning for possible accumulation of polluting metal in natural waters in order to protect public health. One of the economic and rapid methods for elements removal is displacement of metals by biosorption. The purpose of this study ...
متن کاملField assessment of oxytetracycline exposure to the freshwater macrophytes Egeria densa Planch. and Ceratophyllum demersum L.
In a microcosm study, two aquatic macrophytes, Egeria densa and Ceratophyllum demersum were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0, 5, 20, 50, and 250 microg/L oxytetracycline (n=3), plus 20 microg/L oxytetracycline amended with additional nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Responses were monitored bi-weekly over a six-week exposure period. Both plant species exhibited a significant decline in gr...
متن کاملDifferent strategies of cadmium detoxification in the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L.
The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is highly toxic to plants. To understand the mechanisms of tolerance and resistance to Cd, we treated the rootless, submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L. with sub-micromolar concentrations of Cd under environmentally relevant conditions. X-ray fluorescence measurements revealed changing distribution patterns of Cd and Zn at non-toxic (0.2 nM, 2 nM), moderat...
متن کاملArsenic accumulation and speciation in the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L.
INTRODUCTION Ceratophyllum demersum L. is a widespread submerged macrophyte in aquatic environments. METHODS Simulation experiments were conducted in the laboratory to investigate arsenic (As) accumulation, speciation, and efflux of C. demersum exposed to arsenate and arsenite solutions. RESULTS Plant shoots showed a significant accumulation of As with a maximum of 862 and 963 μg As g(-1) d...
