متن کاملHeavy Metals Contamination in Sediments from the North of the Strait of Hormuz
The objective of this study was determining the heavy metal contents in sediment along the coastlines of Hormuzgan province. Sediment constitutes are important part of aquatic ecosystems. They provide habitat for benthic organisms and could be a significant sink as well as a potential source of contaminants. Three sources of heavy metals pollution in this area are industry, natural mineral...
متن کاملHeavy metal contamination in surface sediments of four important rivers leading to the Caspian Sea
Heavy metals tend to be adsorbed and accumulated in sediments as opposed to water or suspended solids. Sediments and biota bodis can act as a final sink for heavy metals in the aquatic environments. They accumulate through the food chain posing potential biological and ecological risks. Therefore, research on the heavy metal concentrations in aquatic ecosystems can help to protect human health ...
متن کاملHeavy metal contamination in soil and some medicinal plant species in Ahangaran lead-zinc mine, Iran
Ahangaran lead-zinc mining area located in the west part of Iran is a mountainous region. In this study, medical plants and soils from 3 different sites in this area were collected in spring 2012. Soil and medical plants were analyzed for heavy metals [lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu)] concentrations using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) optical emission spectrometer (Varian ...
