With the aim of further standardizing biomonitoring techniques with aquatic mosses, relationship between velocity water flow and cadmium (Cd) accumulation in transplants moss Fontinalis antipyretica was investigated. For this purpose, were exposed a controlled environment to different concentrations Cd (0, 4, 16 36 ng g−1) velocities (10, 30, 50, 70 90 cm s−1). The mainly depended on concentrat...

Ammonium Preference: Agrostis canina (velvet bentgrass) Amphibolis antarctica (a seagrass) Callitriche hamulata (a water starwort) Ceratophyllum demersum (hornwort) Cymodocea rotundata (a seagrass) Drepanocladus fluitans (an aquatic moss) Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) Elodea densa (Anacharis) Elodea nuttallii (Western waterweed) Fontinalis antipyretica (willow moss) Halodule uninervis (...

The biosorption of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) ions onto dried Fontinalis antipyretica, a widely spread aquatic moss, was studied under different values of temperature, initial pH and water hardness. The equilibrium was well described by Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Maximum biosorption capacity of cadmium was independent on temperature and averaged 28.0 mg g(-1) moss, whereas for zinc, capacity ...

Pollution by heavy metals represents a significant environmental burden. We employed confocal microscopy with spectral detection and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles (NPs) from various (Zinc, Nickel, Cobalt, Copper) on endogenous Fontinalis antipyretica moss. Short term (3–5 day) exposure NPs, designed fabricated direct synthesis using femtosecond las...

The potential health risks associated with the pharmaceuticals released into environment through effluents from sewage treatment plants have become a major cause for concern. Owing to lack of effective indicators, monitoring concentration these pollutants in aquatic is challenging. aim this study was assess toxicity mixture five pharmaceutical drugs (paracetamol, carbamazepine, diclofenac, irbe...
