heavy metal pollution all around the world has become a major environmental concern and the bioremediation of polluted environments is an increasingly popular strategy due to both its efficiency and safety. in this study, a bacterial strain resistant to heavy metal was isolated from metal contaminated sites. strain mkh2 was removed pb (ii) with 95.06%. this isolate was also resistant to zinc, c...

this study at first level focused on definitions and descriptions of  some landfills and landfills sites all around the world and  survey on how important they are for regional governments and responsible in duty  as a very important responsibility for locals and their health. at the second level we had a look on heavy metals concentration which are by many definitions as follows: lead, nickel,...

introduction: biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. also, living lichens are known to accumulate metals across their surface. materials and methods: in this study, the biosorption of cadmium ions cd (ii) by the lichens acarospora strigata, lecanora muralis and caloplaca aurantia was investigated in aqueous solution in...

the  present study was aimed  at comparing the ability of three crop plants for phytoremediation of zinc (zn) and nickel (zn) from soils. a factorial (3×2×3) experiment based on rcbd was  used to compare the treatments,  and was repeated three times. the first factor was crop type (wheat, clover and rapeseed), the second factor was heavy metal types (zinc (zn) and nickel (ni)) and the third fac...

in recent years, heavy metal contamination of rice in different parts of the world has raised concerns about its safety and provoked crisis in it's global production and trade. in iran, also some studies have reported on the heavy metal contamination of native products. however, the concentration of heavy metals in rice grain could be influenced through preparation and cooking. this study aimed...
