The concentration of heavy metals (HMs) in soil-plant systems was an important indicator soil metal pollution, and the migration transportation abilities HMs from to plants were great significance for evaluating food safety reducing health risks. This study conducted investigate contamination translocation soil-Paeonia lactiflora system Bozhou, Anhui Province, China. pollution assessed by calcu...

in this study, the concentrations of heavy metals (ca, zn, cu, fe, mn, ni) in thesediment of shavoor river in khuzestan province in iran has been investigated. after the library studies and field studies, six samples of water and sediment were taken from the river in order to evaluate heavy metal pollution in sediments. to determine the geochemical phases of metals in sediment samples the 5-ste...

This work contributes to the monitoring of heavy metal pollution Agricultural soils, Katsina State Nigeria, using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The contamination soil samples were analyzed based on Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), (CF), load (PLI) and potential ecological risk (PERI). health risks evaluated metals estimated Hazard Quotient (HQ) Index (HI)) evaluate p...

Abstract The ecological risk resulting from the accumulation of some heavy metals in sediments Iskenderun Bay was assessed using following measures: enrichment and contamination factor, pollution load index ( PLI ), potential RI ). concentrations studied were order: Fe > Ni Mn Cr Zn Cu As Pb Cd Hg. had highest EF values. This situation is most likely due to presence iron, pesticide, fertiliz...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

the concentration of selected trace metals (fe, cd, cu, pb, and zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along kanyakumari coast, india. toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...
