Factors influencing susceptibility to metals.

Quantitative Analysis of the Factors Influencing Soil Heavy Metal Lateral Migration in Rainfalls Based on Geographical Detector Software: A Case Study in Huanjiang County, China

Quantitative analysis of the factors influencing heavy metal migration could be useful for controlling heavy metal migration. In this paper, a geographical detector was used to calculate the contributions of and interactions among factors in Huanjiang County, South China, covering an area of 273 km2. In this paper, nine factors were analyzed. The results showed that, among these factors, soil t...

Factors influencing metabolism and toxicity of metals. Proceedings of an international workshop meeting organized by the Scientific Committee on the Toxicology of Metals of Permanent Commission and International Association of Occupational Health Stockholm, July 17-22, 1977.

Factors influencing metabolism and toxicity of metals: a consensus report.

A series of meetings concerning metal toxicology have been organized by the Scientific Committee on the Toxicology of Metals under the Permanent Commission and International Association on Occupational Health. Accumulation of toxic metals with special reference to their absorption, excretion, and biological half-times was discussed in Slanchev Bryag, Bulgaria, 1971, and in Buenos Aires, 1972. D...

The role of hypersensitivity and the immune response in influencing susceptibility to metal toxicity.

The immune status of the individual is an additional variable which has to be taken into account in any consideration of factors which influence the metabolism and toxicity of metals. The commonly occurring phenomena are described resulting from increased cellular reactivity to platinum, mercury, gold, nickel, chromium, and beryllium, and an attempt has attempt has been made to classify these i...

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Soils and Factors Affecting Metal Uptake by Plants in the Vicinity of a Korean Cu-W Mine

Heavy metal concentrations were measured in soils and plants in and around a copper-tungsten mine in southeast Korea to investigate the influence of past base metal mining on the surface environment. The results of chemical analysis indicate that the heavy metals in soils decreased with distance from the source, controlled mainly by water movement and topography. The metal concentrations measur...
