gabrik in the east of hormozgan province is mangrove habitat and one of the important mangrove protected area. this area is located in oman coasts. this zone because of building jagin dam on gabrick river and existence of sand barrier and exposure of pollution, it is possible to destroy or to be important threats of this planet. base on importance of this sea inhabitation some of sedimentology ...

In the Mekong River delta and its associated coastal zone trace elements concentrations (Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb) were measured in the dissolved phase (DP) during dry (March 1997) and wet (October 1997) seasons. As, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Al were also measured in suspended matter (SM) and total and organic carbon, trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) and macro elements in superficial sediment...

fifty street dust samples were collected from southern and eastern parts of tehran, the capitalof iran. samples were collected during summer under dry and stable weather conditions. total concentrationsof copper (cu), cadmium (cd), lead (pb), chromium (cr), nickel (ni), zinc (zn), iron (fe), manganese (mn)and lithium (li) were determined. ten samples were then selected for characterization, met...

A colorimetric filtration method has been developed for the highly selective and sensitive determination of Ni(2+) and Pb(2+) ions. Determinations of Ni(2+) and Pb(2+) follow the filtration using nioxime (1,2-cyclohexanedione dioxime) and rhodizonic acid disodium salt, respectively, as colorimetric reagents. Different from regular instrumentation techniques, the metal chelate precipitations are...

The present study analyzed 5785 vegetables for concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni and Hg, and estimated the health risk to local consumers by deterministic (point estimates) approaches. Levels of elements varied in different vegetables. Average levels of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg and Pb were 0.013, 0.017, 0.057, 0.002, 0.094 and 0.034 mg/kg (fresh weight), respectively. The samples with 0.25% for Cd...

The status of metal concentrations including Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn and Fe in six species of Padina were determined in polluted (Nayband Bay) and unpolluted (Bostaneh port) areas on the Coast of the Persian Gulf. The mean concentrations of metals in the sediment of two locations were: Pb (12.64), Cd (3.59), Cu (21.74), Ni (17.00), Zn (32.00) and Fe (677.53) µg g-1 dry weight, respectively. In ...

Greenhouse experiment was conducted for four months using Leucaena leucocephala and Pleurotus tuber-regium to determine their bioremediation potentials. Leucaena leucocephala, Pleurotus tuber-regium and Leucaena leucocephala combined with Pleurotus tuber-regium were tested for their ability to improve nutrient (N, P, K, total organic carbon) and reduce heavy metals (Zn, Ni, Pb, Cu) of soil poll...

Trace metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn) were assessed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) in 32 commonly consumed cocoa products (chocolates) prepared by different national and multinational companies. Microelement contents studied varied significantly in all type of chocolates (P < 0.01). The concentrations of Pb and Cd in cocoa powder were found to be highest, 1400 and 190 μg...
