the heavy metals concentrations including zinc, copper, lead and cadmium (zn, cu, pb and cd) in water and sediments in gorgan bay and their accumulation in rutilus frisii kutum, acipenser persicus, rutilus rutilus caspicus and cyprinus carpio organs (gills, muscle, kidney and liver) were investigated. there was substantial increase in concentration of heavy metals ingoing from the water to the ...

background: neptunia oleracea or ‘water mimosa’ has a phytoremediation ability which is rarely being assessed. this plant also can be eaten as raw or cooked and but brought such concern on its safety for human consumption. the objective of this study was to assess the phytoremediation ability of water mimosa and its safety for human consumption. methods: water mimosa was treated with pb, cu and...

Heavy metal pollutions of aquatic ecosystems have already raised many concerns on aquaticorganisms’health and survival especially on their sperm. The effects of a single metal on sperm may be totallydifferent from cocktail of several metals because of their interactions, so the effects of zinc, cadmium andcalcium on the trout and carp sperms and their competition have been examined by incubatio...
