To date, heavy metals present a main drawback for bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) performances. Therefore, our results confirm, the first time, that Hansenulafabianii is an electrochemical active yeast has potential tolerance against various metals. The bioreactor inoculated by Hansenula fabianii in mediatoless conditions provided maximum current density of 32 mA/m²; up to 300 mA/m² in pr...

The use of hair chromium (Cr) concentrations as an index of Cr exposure of tannery workers was investigated. As has been shown earlier, Cr from Cr III compounds used in the leather tanning industry is absorbed because concentrations of Cr in serum and urine of tannery workers are significantly increased compared with corresponding concentrations for unexposed controls. Hair samples were collect...
