lead is a common toxic agent which impairs various organs functions of the body. the basis of this toxicity is believed to be the negative influence on enzymatic system of cells. in the past few years, increasing consideration has been given to interactions occurring between lead and some essential metals including se and zn. based on the finding that some trace elements could reverse the toxic...

Anzali International wetland is one of the most valuable water resources as registered in Ramsar convention with an extent of about 150 km2 in the south Caspian Sea. This wetland, not only has ecological and biological importance for migratory birds and rare fish species, but also is used for farms to discharge into the Caspian Sea through this wetland. Therefore its pollution control is very ...

in present study we determine the zinc and lead levels in human blood samples by differential pulse polarography under optimum experimental conditions (ph=7.5, scan rate=5mv/s and pulse amplitude=50mv) the polarographic reduction peaks of zn and pb were examinedin the -0.72 v and-0.15 respectively. the zinc and lead content can be determined by in comparison with their standard solutions. accor...

there are many remediating methods for the polluted soils but only phytoremediation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach that is most suitable for many countries. the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of native plants for phytoremediation of contaminated soils with lead, zinc, cadmium and nickel in the rangelands around national lead ...

background: the concentration of heavy metals in drinking water is very important. objectives: to to evaluate the chemistry of some heavy metals in surface drinking water of dakahlia governorate, egypt. methods: 51 surface drinking water samples were collected from the main surface water stations and compact units in october 2009 and analyzed chemically. 26 water samples were analyzed by atomic...

The discharge of heavy metals into aquatic ecosystems has become a matter of concern in India over the last few decades. These pollutants are introduced into the aquatic systems significantly as a result of various industrial operations. Industrialization in India gained a momentum with initiation of five year developmental plan in the early 50's. The pollutants of concern include lead, chromiu...
