In the present communication, analysis of various heavy metal (Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb and Th) concentrations in 10 drinking water samples collected from the diverse locations from different depths of Nagaur district of Rajasthan, India has been carried out by using high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (HR-ICP-MS) technique. The water samples were taken from hand ...

Industrial development has created a serious problem by emitting waste water containing many different kinds of pollutants including heavy metals. There are several chemical and physical processes for heavy metals removal but bioremediation technology has also good prospect. As the waste water from different industries is deposited in the rivers nearby so aquatic flora are needed to be studied ...

This study aimed to describe the households' choices of drinking water sources, and evaluate the risk of human exposure to heavy metals via different drinking water sources in Chenzhou City of Hunan Province, Southern China. A cross-sectional face-to-face survey of 192 householders in MaTian and ZhuDui village was conducted. The concentrations of heavy metals in their drinking water sources wer...

The objective of the present study is to determine the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in various organs of the fresh water fish exposed to heavy metal contaminated water system. The experimental fish was exposed to Cr, Ni, Cd and Pb at sublethal concentrations for periods of 32 days. The elements Cd, Pb, Ni and Cr were assayed using Shimadzu AA 6200 atomic absorption spectrophotometry and the ...
