Haem in red meat (RM) stimulates the endogenous production of mutagenic nitroso compounds (NOC). Processed (nitrite-preserved red) meat additionally contains high concentrations of preformed NOC. In two studies, of a fresh RM versus a vegetarian (VEG) diet (six males and six females) and of a nitrite-preserved red meat (PM) versus a VEG diet (5 males and 11 females), we investigated whether pro...

This paper focuses on research concerning the ecotoxicological properties of granulated slag from the pilot production of gray iron with red mud addition and concrete composites with the application of this slag. Red mud is a hazardous waste generated in the production of aluminium oxide. Negative ecotoxicological tests are, therefore, one of the basic prerequisites for the ability to use granu...

Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste discharged in the alumina production process. Because of its large amount discharge and high alkalinity, it mostly stored dams, occupying number land resources posing great safety hazard to ecological environment. The large-scale consumption red global technical problem. Different processes will produce different types mud, mainly Bayer process mud. In a...

To reduce Cd phytoavailability in calcareous soils, the effects of soil amendments of red mud, rape straw, and corn straw in combination with zinc fertilization on Cd extractability and phytoavailability to spinach, tomato, Chinese cabbage and radish were investigated in a calcareous soil with added Cd at 1.5 mg kg-1. The results showed that water soluble and exchangeable Cd in soils was signif...

Contamination of water with organic dyes is a major environmental concern as it causes serious life-threatening problems. The present research was designed to evaluate the potential three different natural inorganic clays (NICs) i.e., Pakistani bentonite clay (PB), purchased from Alfa Aesar (BT), and Turkish red mud (RM) for malachite green (MG) dye removal an aqueous solution. Various analytic...
