background: the presence of heavy metals in dialysis water which enters patients’ body through haemodialysis can cause various problems such as acute poisoning, brain damage, osteoarthritis etc. therefore, applying the standards for dialysis water is indispensable. this study was carried out to determine the heavy metals of the enterence water of dialysis machines and its comparison with aami a...

background: the aim of this study was to determine bioavailability heavy metal concentrations of cu, cd, cr, co and zn and health risk assessment in different types of klang district, selangor (malaysia) urban surface soil using in physiologically based extraction test in vitro human digestion model. methods: a total of 76 urban surface soil was sampled based on seven different types of land us...

metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems resulting from human activity. phytoremediation utilizes plants to uptake contaminants and can potentially be used to remediate metal-contaminated sites. the present study investigates heavy metal uptake (cd, cr, and ni) from soil by different organs of populus alba and morus alba. for this purpose, cd (40, 80, and 160 mg...

plant-based remediation (i.e. phytoremediation) is one of the most significant eco-sustainable techniques to cope with devastating consequences of pollutants. in the present study, the potential of a wetland macrophyt (i.e. potamogeton crispus ) for the phytoremediation of heavy metals (i.e. cu, cr, pb, as and cd) in the anzali wetland was evaluated. the results showed that p. crispus tends to ...

background: given the importance of vegetables in the food pyramid, their safety is very important from view point of public health. vegetable contamination by heavy metals can lead to bioaccumulation of these toxic and disease-causing elements in the body of consumers. therefore, in this study, the concentration of some heavy metals, including lead (pb), cadmium (cd), zinc (zn) and copper (cu)...

background and aims: nowadays heavy metals are the environmental priority pollutants and are becoming as the most serious environmental problems. in recent years removing those from diverse industrial effluents and metal cleaning have been studied. the aim of the present study was to investigate the different methods for cooper removal of cooper ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this st...

Mining activities have caused serious heavy metal pollution in soil and water resources. The weathering mullock and mining tailings transport the heavy metal in polluted areas into ambient soil, rivers, and groundwater, which destroys the surrounding ecosystem. The menace of heavy metal elements in minerals can lead to botanical variety and impact vegetal growth. With the development of remote ...

Over the last few decades, Anzali wetland has been at risk of pollutants, especially from heavy metals. The present research analyzes some physical and chemical properties and heavy metals concentration in 27 points in nine stations of Anzali wetland. The samples of each station have been mixed, acidic digested, and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean con...
