Irrigation with untreated effluent in periurban agriculture could result in accumulation and bioconcentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Different amendments were used to investigate their effect on availability, concentration, and uptake of metals by wheat in texturally different soils. Crop was irrigated with water containing Cd and Pb at 20 mg L−1, thereby adding 260 mg pot−1 of each me...

Most of the materials used in the industry of aero-engine components generally consist of titanium alloys. Advanced materials, because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, light weight and general corrosion resistance. In fact, chemical wear resistance of aero-engine alloy provides a serious challenge for cutting tool material during the machining process. The reduction in ...

the main purpose of this research is to evaluate the hydrochemical properties, con-trolling processes and metal concentrations in kaka-reza river water (lorestan province). to this end, 15 water samples were collected and physicochemical prop-erties (ph-ec), cation-anion contents along with concentrations of some heavy metals were determined using the standard analytical methods. the results re...

abstract mine excavation, concentration and transportation of minerals make southern esfahan municipality and suburb of sepahanshahr vulnerable to pollution and endanger their people by heavy metals. nowadays, spectrophotometers and spectral reflectance of soils in different parts of spectrum are applied for estimating soil characteristics and pollutants. this research was conducted to study th...

Fucus vesiculosus L. seaweeds from three estuarine stations were analysed by X-ray fluorescence, providing results for the concentration of total In order to study the differential accumulation of heavy metals by different parts of Fucus, four different structures of the algae, base, stipe reproductive organs and growing tips, were analysed. Some elements (e.g. Cu and Fe) are preferentially acc...

Heavy metal pollution is of particular concern as they have deleterious effects on biota through mobilization and accumulation in various trophic levels. The present study mainly focused on the water pollution by heavy metals in Cochin estuary and two adjoining rivers. The methods include seasonal collection of surface water from the study area and their subsequent heavy metal analysis. The stu...

Levels of Zn, Cu, Cd, As, and Pb in the kidney, Liver, Gills and Heart of African cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) from the Ogun River in Ogun State located close to six major industries in the South Western part of Nigeria, were determined using Bulk Scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Fishes were also collected from Government owned fish farm in Agodi, Ibadan which was considered a r...
