WHO reports estimate poisoning as one of the most common causes of increased morbidity and mortality rate world-wide. Various agents such as pesticides, drugs have been used for intentional and accidental poisoning in different countries. In the Indian scenario, pesticides are the most commonly used poisoning agents. To assess the prevalence and mortality incidence rate due to various poisoning...

abstract mine excavation, concentration and transportation of minerals make southern esfahan municipality and suburb of sepahanshahr vulnerable to pollution and endanger their people by heavy metals. nowadays, spectrophotometers and spectral reflectance of soils in different parts of spectrum are applied for estimating soil characteristics and pollutants. this research was conducted to study th...

abstract nowadays, soil pollution with heavy metals has become a major problem which their accumulation in plants can directly or indirectly influence on animals and humans life. lead and cadmium are poisonous metals, with increasing the amount of these metals in environmental pollution; they will be increased in food chain significantly. in this research, three levels of cadmium (0, 100 and 20...

there are many remediating methods for the polluted soils but only phytoremediation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach that is most suitable for many countries. the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of native plants for phytoremediation of contaminated soils with lead, zinc, cadmium and nickel in the rangelands around national lead ...

dust pollution has become a serious environmental problem especially in recent decades. the present study aim was the investigation of the levels of pm10 concentration in kermanshah, western iran and also measured five important heavy metals (pb, cd, as, hg and cr) in some samples during 2005 to 2011.a total 2277 samples were collected from air pollution measurement station belonging to the dep...

pollution of the soil environment with toxic materials from fossil burning, mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, disposal of sewage, fertilizers and pesticides, etc. has increased dramatically since the onset of industrial revolution. application of plants with ability of absorbing heavy metals is a low-cost alternative for eliminating soils from heavy metals. phytoremediation uses plants...

A heavy metal-resistant bacterial strain was isolated from heavy metal-contaminated soils and identified as Burkholderia sp. J62 based on the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The heavy metal- and antibiotic resistance, heavy metal solubilization of the isolate were investigated. The isolate was also evaluated for promoting plant growth and Pb and Cd uptakes of the plants from heavy metal-contam...

gabrik in the east of hormozgan province is mangrove habitat and one of the important mangrove protected area. this area is located in oman coasts. this zone because of building jagin dam on gabrick river and existence of sand barrier and exposure of pollution, it is possible to destroy or to be important threats of this planet. base on importance of this sea inhabitation some of sedimentology ...

The need to elimination heavy metal from aqueous solutions cannot be over emphasized.Very studies have investigated the removal heavy metal from water. In this study a new magnetic nanocomposite of PEI on magnetized Sawdust (SD/MNP/PEI) was prepared. Investigations were conducted to study the adsorption behavior of heavy metal Zn (II) on the SD/MNP/PEI nanocomposite in aqueous medium by varying...
