This study measured the accumulation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu) in Brassica juncea grown using hydroponic method a water environment contaminated with these heavy metals. The accumulated metal content each part plant was monitored after one, three, six weeks exposure. concentrations Cd, Cu, Pb biomass B. were determined atomic absorption spectroscopy. results showed that pollut...

rodents are sensitive species to and proper monitors of heavy metals in the environment. the accumulation of copper (cu), zinc (zn) and chrome (cr) were measured by wet digestion method and using an icp-oes instrument in hair and liver of persian jird (meriones persicus) in darreh zereshk copper mine, yazd without considering the effects of surrounded mines. results indicated that the concentra...

Heavy metals concentrations in bivalve Psammotaea elongata from five sampling sites in Semerak Lagoon were determined by ICP-MS. The mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn were 0.18, 4.42, 1.15, 1.47 and 46.35 μg/g in total soft tissue; 0.68, 20.08, 5.29, 85.5 and 9.06 μg/ g in stomach; 0.7, 17.05, 4.39, 84.15 and 8.62 μg/g in leg; 0.74, 15.19, 4.4, 80.69 and 8.6 μg/g in ligament, respect...

Water and sediment samples have been collected from five different stations, located along Djendjen River between February and June, 2016 so that the concentrations of Cd, Ni, Zn, and Cu could be determined. The extent of the sediment pollution has been assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Ig...

Juvenile hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) was tested with different concentration of heavy metals under varying exposure time to examine acute toxicity effect on their survival rate and bioaccumulation in fish tissues. Copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) was used at rates 0.0, 0.50, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mg L-1. The medial lethal concentration of Cu, Cd and Zn (96h LC50) was determined to be 0.4...

pollution of agricultural lands is a widespread problem in mine regions. the transport of the pollutants through the food chain, causes their accumulation s in tissues of plants and animals which endangers their health. this study aimed to measure the concentrations of heavy metals (lead, copper, zinc and manganese) in wheat roots of darreh zaresh villages which might be used for future environ...

Ash from pig manure treated by combustion and thermal gasification was characterized and compared in terms of nutrient, i.e., potassium (K), phosphorus (P) and heavy metal, i.e., cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) contents. Total nutrient and metal concentrations were measured using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis. Acid (HNO3, H2SO4) and water-extr...
