content of heavy metals in lumbricus terrestris and associated soils in dump sites
نویسندگان
چکیده
metals concentrations in lumbricus terrestris and soil samples from the dumpsites located in zaria metropolis, nigeria were measured spectrophotometrically. mean metal content in dumpsite soils were: 25.95 - 75.17, 8.33 - 382.94, 124.84 - 206.96, 34.24 - 666.67 and 111.11 - 488.10mg/kg for cd, cu, mn, pb and zn respectively. while the concentration ranges recorded in l. terrestris samples were; cd, 0.55 - 8.13mg/kg; zn, 105.82 - 380.95mg/kg; cu, 0.66 to 10.25mg/kg; pb, 5.01 to 265.40mg/kg and mn, 1.26 to 10.23mg/kg respectively. the ratios of these metals accumulation in l. terrestris were less than unity for all metals except for zn. the order of bioaccumulation of the metals followed the trend; zn>pb>cu>cd = mn. since birds and domestic fowls fed on insects and l. terrestris, transfer of these metals across the food chain are most probable with resultant health problems.

15 صفحه اولPublic health consequences of heavy metals in dump sites.
Metals differ from most synthetic organic chemicals in that their clinical manifestations are well known and methods for their measurement in the body are generally well established. Since metals are ubiquitous, special care should be taken to identify the source, whether dump site or not. Isotopic ratios may be used for lead. Time of exposure may be highly variable so estimates will be necessa...
متن کاملBioavailability and cellular effects of metals on Lumbricus terrestris inhabiting volcanic soils.
Whether the radial thickness (RT) of the chloragogenous tissue and intestinal epithelium of earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) reflects the bioavailability of metals in soils was investigated in two areas, one with active volcanism (Furnas) and another with no volcanic activity since 3 million years ago (Santa Maria), in the Azores. Metal contents in soil samples and earthworms from the two area...

Exploring the homogenous regions for site specific management is important, especially in the areas under different anthropogenic activities. This was investigated using multi-way analysis including Factor Analysis, Hierarchical Clustering Analysis and k means in the areas under long-term wastewater irrigation over a period of more than 40 years, in Shahre Rey, south of Tehran. By using Factor ...
