In order to use the “Trinidad de Guedes" phosphorite (TGP) as a supplement of calcium and phosphorus in animals, its concentrations of heavy metals were determined and their deposition was analyzed in broilers. Toxic elements were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean levels of heavy metals found in TGP were 82.5 mg/kg lead (Pb), 7.2 mg/kg cadmium (Cd), 1056.9 mg/kg man...

agricultural and specifically industrial activities have led to a substantial release of toxic heavy metals in the environment which can constitute a major hazard for ecosystem and human health. biosorption of heavy metals is one of the most effective technologies involved in the removal of toxic metals from contamination sites that has used in the last decade. population and microbial activity...

Background: Contamination of the environment due to heavy metals is a major concern to human life and the environment. This study was conducted to investigate and quantify the copper and zinc concentrations in industrial estates soil in Arak, Iran. Methods: Four industrial estates were considered for the experimental design, including Arak 1, Arak 2, Arak 3, and Ghotbe Sanaati. For prelimin...

In recent years, TRIP/TWIP steels have been the focus of great attention thanks due to their excellent tensile strength-ductility combination. The compression tests were performed at different temperatures from 25 to1000°C to study the mechanical behavior of advanced austenitic steel with 21% manganese plus bearing Ti. The results indicated that the plastic deformation is controlled by deformat...

background: toxic and hazardous heavy metals like arsenic, lead, mercury, zinc, chromium and iron are found in a variety of personal care products, e.g. lipstick, whitening toothpaste, eyeliner and nail color. the nails absorb the pigments of nail polishes and vaporized or soluble metals can easily pass it. the goal of this survey was to assess whether the different colors of nail polishes comp...

some heavy metals are dangerous to health and there is rising concern about the quality of foodstuffs in some parts of the world. fish, particularly tuna fish, can concentrate huge quantities of several metals from water and they even play a significant role in human nourishment. objectives: in this study, the concentrations of mercury and four trace metals in five brands of canned tuna samples...
