In this study, strain BAPb.1 was isolated from lead mining area and used as an adsorbent to remove lead(II) ions from aqueous solution. The physicochemical characteristics, heavy metal resistance and antibiotic sensitivity of strain BAPb.1 were investigated. Biosorption capacity was evaluated by batch biosorption experiments, and isothermal characteristics were discussed. Atomic force microscop...

Sprayable stimuli-responsive material coatings represent a new class of detection system which can be quickly implemented to transform surface into color-responsive sensor. In this work, we describe dipicolylamine-terminated diacetylene-containing amphiphile formulation for spray coating on simple paper substrate yield disposable test strips that used detect the presence lead ions in solution. ...

An experimental murine model of chronic lead retention is established. This model excludes joint communication and synovial fluid solubility of lead ions recognized in human gunshot injury. Degenerative changes in the visceral organs and bone appear in these mice 30 days after implantation of lead spheres in the subcutaneous tissues of the posterior body wall. Degeneration, necrosis and interst...
