Absence of Gradients and Nernstian Equilibrium Stripping (AGNES) is a recently suggested electroanalytical technique designed for the determination of the free concentration of heavy metals (such as Zn, Cd or Pb) which is here developed and applied to seawater samples. A key improvement for the implementation of AGNES with complex matrices is the development of a new blank, called the shifted b...

Influence of lysine and zinc administration on lead-sensitive biochemical parameters and the accumulation of lead during exposure to lead were investigated in rats. The lead exposure inhibited blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydrogenase (δ-ALAD) activity, increased blood zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP), urinary δ-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA), serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (AST), serum pyruvic...

Iran is located on a silver, lead, and zinc belt according to the latest studies holds 11 million tons of zinc, silver stones which constitute 4 percent global resources. Considering that mineral materials are explored in an uncertain space, exploration investment risk inseparable part these activities. The important fact minimize effect this undesired factor exploration. To achieve this, it re...

chemical pollutants presence in water may induce severe ecological consequences and consequently affecting aquatic ecosystems integrity. heavy metals are dangerous pollutants for aquatic inhabitants that have a great stability. heavy metals contamination (pollution) of the surface waters happens widely by discharge of mill effluents. the objective of the present study was to determine the 50% l...

heavy metals found in urban air with its toxic effects have a direct impact on human health. selection of appropriate tree species and shrub refining capacity of heavy metals in urban areas can greatly reduce the toxic effects of these materials. this study aimed to identify the most suitable tree and shrub species of broadleaf evergreen, deciduous and coniferous refinement of heavy metals lead...

current study was done to determine the concentration of heavy metals including lead and cadmium and nutrients element copper and zinc in a simple and whole wheat macaroni in the valid different supermarkets in the city of tehran. 254 samples from seven iranian simple macaroni , four foreign simple macaroni and two iranian whole wheat macaroni were purchased consecutively in 3 seasons of 2015. ...

The processing mineralogy characteristics of an oxidized lead-zinc ore from Sichuan were studied systematically using numerous modern instruments. Results showed that lead and zinc oxide content in the ore exceeded the minimum industrial grade, and also included a relatively high concentration of silver and iron. This ore is composed of many different minerals. Major zinc-containing minerals in...

This study, carried out in tailings from two sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits the Lublin-Głogów Copper District Poland (Kupferschiefer-type deposit) and Zhezkazgan (cupriferous sandstone-type Kazakhstan, analysed mineralogy of copper, zinc, lead minerals as related to metal accumulation sediments. Microscopic study reflected light SEM–EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope—Energy Dispersiv...
