in this study, the concentrations of heavy metals (ca, zn, cu, fe, mn, ni) in thesediment of shavoor river in khuzestan province in iran has been investigated. after the library studies and field studies, six samples of water and sediment were taken from the river in order to evaluate heavy metal pollution in sediments. to determine the geochemical phases of metals in sediment samples the 5-ste...

background: one of the most critical problems in the field of water and food pollution is the heavy metal pollution. agricultural products are exposed to this type of contamination through wastewater; industrial activity and population pollutions are also in its area. since the plant in the affected areas can directly enter heavy metals into the food chain, so, it is important to check their le...

It is obvious that heavy metals toxicity to humans is as a result of long term or extreme level exposure to pollutants common in the environment including the air, water, food and many consumer products like the cosmetics and toiletries .In this study, we measured the levels of toxic metals in different hair dye products sold at local shops in Baghdad, Iraq. The hair dyes included twelve sample...

Background: Industrial development has caused the release of various pollutants including heavy metals into the environment. These toxic compounds are extremely dangerous to living beings and the environment due to their non-biodegradability, severe toxicity, carcinogenicity, the ability to be accumulated in nature and the ability to contaminate groundwater and surface water. The aim of the pre...

Heavy metals contamination has been recognized as a major environmental concern due to their pervasiveness and persistence. These heavy metals are not biodegradable, hence there is a need to develop such a remediation technique, which should be efficient, economical and rapidly deployable in a wide range of physical settings. For the characterization of heavy metals of various industrial efflue...

background: composition of dust in the air due to contact with human via inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption will have a large impact on public health. in the learning environments such as universities, many people spend most of their day in contact with the dust. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals lead, chromium and copper in the training space of...

heavy metals found in urban air with its toxic effects have a direct impact on human health. selection of appropriate tree species and shrub refining capacity of heavy metals in urban areas can greatly reduce the toxic effects of these materials. this study aimed to identify the most suitable tree and shrub species of broadleaf evergreen, deciduous and coniferous refinement of heavy metals lead...
