in the paper, the contents of calcium (ca), magnesium (mg), zinc (zn), copper (cu), iron (fe),manganese (mn), chromium (cr), lead (pb), cadmium (cd), aluminium (al), and nickel (ni) were determinedin the meat of roe deers, wild boars, and hares coming from central region of poland. measurements werecarried out using atomic absorption spectrometry. the ranges of median values found for the conce...

the concentrations of some heavy metals in sediment from the sinop coasts of the black sea were measured to monitor metal pollution in 2013. the distribution of the heavy metals in sediments of the black sea shows a variable pattern. the objectives of the present study were to elucidate the distribution heavy metals such as cu, pb, zn, ni, mn, fe, as, cd, cr, hg and co in sediment from sinop co...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

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;...

Consumption of plant extracts can be a source of essential elements or a route of human exposure to toxicants. Metal concentrations in leaves, leaf brew, and infusion of L. javanica collected from five sites were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after acid and aqueous extraction. Estimated daily intakes of metals in extracts were compared with recommended dietary allowances. Total m...

An understanding of the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) as affected by farming practices is imperative for maintaining soil productivity and mitigating global warming. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of long-term fertilization on SOC and SOC fractions for the whole soil profile (0-100 cm) in northwest China. The study was initiated in 1979 in Gansu, China and ...
