Phytoremediation is one of the most widely used methods for removing soil contaminants. In this research, the function of Vetiveria zizianoides to remove cadmium from four different treatments with varying amounts of cadmium chloride contamination (including 0, 20, 40, and 60 mg per liter) was investigated and physiological changes caused by the accumulation of this metal in the plant were moni...

The minimum concentration of cadmium (Cd), by Chinese cabbage grown on Cd contaminated soils that can initiate toxicity in human liver cells using in vitro digestion coupled with Caco-2/HL-7702 cell models was studied. Cadmium bioaccessibility in the gastric phase for yellow soil (YS) cabbage (40.84%) and calcareous soil (CS) cabbage (21.54%) was significantly higher than small intestinal phase...

The insolubilization of cadmium in the soil of a naturally cadmium-contaminated paddy field was studied using an atomized iron powder and an extracting reagent. Cadmium in the soil was extracted into the water phase by calcium chloride. The extracted cadmium was deposited on the iron powder. The deposition of cadmium was significantly influenced by calcium chloride, since the surface area of th...

This research was carried out as pod cultivation to evaluate effect of different level of zinc and cadmium on agro physiological traits of Maize via factorial experiment based on completelly randomized design with three replications along 2012-2013. The factors included different level of Zinc (Zn1=0 or Control, Zn2=15 and Zn3=30 mg.kg-1) and Cadmium (Cd1=0 or control, Cd2=10, Cd3=20 and Cd4=30...

Highway runoff from IP 4, a mountain road in the north-east of Portugal, has been monitored using a system integrating a raingauge, a flowmeter and an automatic water sampler. Average daily traffic (ADT) is 6000 and the study catchment has 5970 m2 of total area and 2500 m2 of road pavement. A single stormwater outlet discharges into an infiltration pond with overflow to a creek. Sampling was ca...

abstract a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of incubation time, sewage sludge and clay content on the distribution of nickel and cadmium in different fractions of selected calcareous soils. to meet this purpose, an experiment with two different soils (4 and 30 percent caco3), two different textures (8 and 40 percent clay), two levels of nickel (0 and 100 mg.kg-1), two levels of cadmiu...
