in this study, heavy metals such as al, cr, cu, zn, cd, hg, pb etc. content in liver, muscle and gill of three economical marine species [striped seabream (lithognathus mormyrus linneaus, 1758), two-band bream (diplodus vulgaris geoffroy saint-hilaire, 1817) and common pandora (pagellus erythrinus linneaus, 1758)] obtained from 4 stations (fethiye, bodrum, datça, marmaris) in south aegean coast...

For heavy metal-contaminated agricultural land, low-cost, plant-based phytoextraction measures can be a key element for a new land management strategy. When agents are applied into the soil, the solubility of heavy metals and their subsequent accumulation by plants can be increased, and, therefore, phytoextraction enhanced. An overview is given of the state of the art of enhancing heavy metal s...

Aims: to investigate and to compare the variation of the bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) by two different molluscs species and also heavy metal concentration in sea water and sediment in Timsah Lake-Suez Canal. And finally to study the correlation between metal concentrations in different size classes of each molluscan species. Study Design: Levels of the heavy metal...

the present study investigates the accumulation of vanadium, iron, and nickel in different depths of soil in collection sites of oil sludge, in masjed soleyman oil and gas exploitation company, located in choob sorkh region. to conduct the research, four sampling points have been selected at the mentioned site, with one sampling point chosen outside the site, as the clean area. soil sampling ha...

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...

The rapid industrial development and agricultural growth and the indiscriminate production of pollutants have faced problems for human societies and the environment. Accumulation and pollution of heavy metals in the environment are the main important problems that as a result of human activities through extraction from ore and processing for various applications has led to the release of these ...

Hyperaccumulation is an unusual plant response to metaliferous soils. Such soils like those derived from ultramafic rocks, have elevated concentrations of heavy metals, mainly Ni, Cr, Zn and Cd. Most plants growing on these soils exclude metals from their shoots as excessive accumulation of heavy metals is toxic to the majority of plants. However, about 2% of plants growing on metaliferous soil...
