The contamination of paddy soils by arsenic (As) is a serious problem in rice production areas across the world. This study investigates the effect selenium (Se) has on the formation of iron plaques on the outside of rice roots and the accumulation of As in rice plants. A soil combined sand pot experiment having four concentrations of Se (0, 1, 5 and 10 mg kg -1 ) and two concentrations of As (...

in order to study the effects of simultaneous application of znso4 and biological fertilizer, azotobacter chroococcum and azospirillum brasilense, on grain yield and nitrogen uptake efficiency in rapeseed (brassica napus l.), cv. hyola308, a field experiment was conducted as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design at research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, uni...

Heavy metal contamination in the environment could cause harmful effects both to human health and aquatic life. Numerous remediation methods had been developed to encounter with the contamination problem prior to degrade, decrease and to purify the contaminated water at minimal concentration as low as possible. Therefore, in current study, commercialized chicken eggshells and hybrid Akar Pu...

The field of biotechnology presents us with a great chance to use many organisms, such as mushrooms, find suitable solutions for issues that include the accumulation agro-wastes in environment. green mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus L.) includes myco-remediation polluted soil and water well bio-fermentation. circular economy approach could be effectively achieved by using oyster L.), which substr...

The effects of ash refuse pile from a black soap-making facility were studied on the surface (0-15 cm) layer of soils and commonest plants at Ori-Ebu, Afao Quarter, Ikere-Ekiti in Nigeria. Soil and plant samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 60, 75, 105 and 150 m from the ash refuse pile and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni). The prominent plant spe...

Heavy metal accumulation in aquatic organisms has been an important issue due to environmental pollution resulting from anthropogenic activities. In this study, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn in the selected fish species (Mullus barbatus, Solea solea, and Siganus rivulatus) from three consecutive bays (İskenderun, Mersin, and Antalya from North-Eastern Mediterranean Sea) were considered to provide some...

Hippopotami (Hippopotamus amphibius L) are large semi-aquatic mammals that can be exposed to metals and metalloid from both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Therefore, knowledge of metal and metalloid accumulation characteristics in hippopotami living in the national park is important from ecotoxicological point of view. Levels of toxic metals (Cd, Pb and Hg) and metalloid (As) in hippopot...
