Personal care products (PCPs) are among the most commonly detected compounds in surface water. PCPs have used large amount of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs). In the present study an attempt was made to study the bioaccumulation and biochemical constituents changes in gill tissues of a freshwater fish labeo rohita exposed to metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in domestic wastewater c...

VAM fungi play a vital role in improving the nutrient quality plants, increasing plants’ growth, helping protect plants against pathogen, and helps protecting them from salinity drought. Their functions range stress reduction to bioremediation heavy metal-polluted soils. The current review paper focuses on metal absorption, accumulation, of arbuscular mycorrhizal alleviating plants. Arbuscular ...

The past few decades have witnessed significant advances in the development of functionalized metal/metal oxide nanoparticles including those of inorganic noble metals and magnetic materials stabilized by various polymeric ligands. Recent applications of such functionalized nanoparticles, including those in bio-imaging, sensing, catalysis, drug delivery, and other biomedical applications have t...

The current study assesses the effect of fibrous clay minerals’ amendments and arbuscular mycorrhiza incubation on heavy metal uptake and translocation in Eucalyptus grandis and Ailanthus altissima plants. For doing so, Eucalyptus and ailanthus trees have been grown in a soil sample, contaminated with heavy metal iron ore mining and collected from southern Iran. The area under study is arid, wi...

The present investigation assessed the effects of a metalloid (arsenic) and two heavy metals (cadmium and mercury), on the growth and metal accumulation in two medicinal plant species, artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) and Savory (Satureja hortensis L.). The experiment was conducted hydroponically in spiked solution with different concentrations of arsenic (0, 20, 100, and 500 µM), cadmium (0, 10,...

Rapid industrialization along with advanced agricultural activities led to the contamination in aquatic environment with heavy metals. Heavy metals ultimately pass into human body through having aquatic animals like fish, prawn and crab. In this study, accumulation of heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, cadmium and lead) in various organs of four commonly consumed fish (Euthynnus affinis...
