The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN; NO2−–N, NH3–N, and NO3−–N), PO43−–P, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), five-day biological oxygen demand (BOD5), oil, Si, and seven heavy metals (Hg, Cr, Cu, As, Zn, Pb, and Cd) in seawater from the Dongzhaigang National Mangrove Nature Reserve of China in 2013 were determined. Except for the concentrations of the COD, ...

The Kolleru Lake is a famous Ramsar wetland of international significance. In this study heavy metal contents in water and sediment samples are reported. It is found that certain potentially toxic metal ions like chromium (4.5-80 µg/L), copper (1-20 µg/L), manganese (1-313 µg/L) and zinc (1.2-57 µg/L) are present in variable quantities in the lake water. When normalized with respect to concentr...

in vascular plants, the soil solution is transported from the roots to the leaves through smalldiameter vessels found in the xylem; this transport not only allows the nutrient uptake but also the accumulation of heavy metals in their shoots. by analogy to this phenomenon, the present study aimed at the evaluation of heavy metals transport (pb, cr, as, cd, zn, ni and al) in ph 4 and ph 8 solutio...

an increase in heavy metal pollution in the soils of arak due to industrialization and urbanization has become an environmental problem. the region hosts several industrial facilities which are the main source for hazardous wastes which include electric, metal, automotive supply industry, food, machinery, and chemicals. soil samples were collected from these industrial areas in the central and ...
