Standardized experimental approaches for the quantification of bioaccumulation potential nanomaterials in general and (benthic) invertebrates particular are currently lacking. We examined suitability benthic freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca examination nanomaterials. A flow-through test system that allows generation bioconcentration biomagnification factors was applied. The feasibility confi...

Flooding can adversely worsen metal-contaminated soil and influence phytoremediation efficiency; thus, it is crucial to explore the eco-physiological responses of plants combined stress metals flooding. Here, plant growth, photosynthesis, nutrient composition in arbor willow (Salix jiangsuensis ‘J172’) shrub integra ‘Yizhibi’) were studied using a pot experiment with Cu-contaminated (239.5 mg∙k...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination harms plant growth and human health. The application of hemin (ferroprotoporphyrin IX) can effectively relieve abiotic stresses in plants. This work investigates the effects on alleviating Cd toxicity enhancing tolerance maize seedlings. In this study, seedlings were cultivated nutrient solutions, with a combination CdCl2 (464 ?mol L?1) (100 L?1). We measured status, ...

The study of different possible biomass valorization routes is crucial in order to diversify phytomanagement options, allowing the landowner/stakeholder choose best option based on site characteristics and benefits local value chains. In current study, field laboratory experiments were conducted assess suitabilitity Malva sylvestris L. for phytoattenuation a dredged sediment disposal contaminat...

however some of heavy metals such as zn, are essential for plant growth, their elevated concentrations have toxic effects and may inhibit plant growth. in this study, plant tolerance and zn uptake and accumulation potential of some weed plant species from western azerbaijan region were studied in a soil spiked with 0, 1000, 3000 and 6000 mgzn kgsoil-1. seed of heliotrope (heliotropium europaeum...

Human activities like mining, transport, agriculture, industrial waste disposal and military actions release inorganic pollutants in high concentrations that are toxic to natural ecosystems. Heavy metal pollution causes potential ecological risk. Heavy metals like Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and Chromium (Cr) when present in high concentrations in soil exert potential toxic effects on overall growt...

Soil metal pollution is a concern in bauxite tailing areas. This study aimed to effectively screen plants with strong tolerance contamination by analyzing the levels of metals Barbula rigidula (Hedw.) Mild. (BR), indica (Hook.) Spreng. (BI), and vinealis Brid. (BV) soils. The contents mosses obtained from area followed following order: Al > Fe Zn Cu. Furthermore, these were highest BR, BI BV. H...
