Over the last few decades, Anzali wetland has been at risk of pollutants, especially from heavy metals. The present research analyzes some physical and chemical properties and heavy metals concentration in 27 points in nine stations of Anzali wetland. The samples of each station have been mixed, acidic digested, and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean con...

Bacterial DNA contamination of rust fungal DNA can be a significant problem for sequencing the rust fungus. Sequence assembly is much more difficult if the sequence contigs are mixed with bacterial sequence. A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was developed to quantify bacterial DNA within rust fungal DNA samples and the results were compared with those obtained from...

Plutonium-contaminated solid wastes including combustible, incombustible and chlorine contained waste have been generated during Mixed Oxide,(MOX) fuel fabrication by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Incinerations of chlorinated wastes cause the problems related to corrosion of the equipments and dust loading in the vent exhaust system. The JAEA has designed and manufactured a new type incine...
