background: the aim of this study was to determine bioavailability heavy metal concentrations of cu, cd, cr, co and zn and health risk assessment in different types of klang district, selangor (malaysia) urban surface soil using in physiologically based extraction test in vitro human digestion model. methods: a total of 76 urban surface soil was sampled based on seven different types of land us...

heavy metal concentrations in surface water, wastewater and sediments collected from mighan lake in markazi province, iran were analyzed, and assessment contamination were evaluated according to the water and sediment quality guidelines. the results showed that the average concentrations of heavy metals in water were ranked as: ni> cr> pb> fe> cu> zn. in comparison with results the background v...

background and objectives: despite the increasing impact of heavy metal pollution in persian gulf due to urban growth and agricultural and petroleum activities, few studies have focused on the behavior and relationships of these pollutants in the biotic and abiotic components of aquatic environments. in this study, the amount of some metals (copper, iron, lead, cadmium, zinc and nickel) was det...

Industrial activities and high traffic density are the most important heavy metal pollution sources in urban areas. Roadside dust created by atmospheric deposition can be one of the best indicators for heavy metal contamination levels. The present study reports the spatial distribution patterns and degree of heavy metal pollution (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, and As) in 50 roadside dust samples from urb...

heavy metal concentration in the soils and sediments has increased worldwide during the last century due to the mining, smelting, and industrial activities. the forumad chromite deposit is located in the sabzevar ophiolitic complex (soc), with a long history of mining activities, yet very little is known about the heavy metal contamination in its surrounding environment. in this research work, ...

Heavy metal pollution in farmlands is a serious threat to sustainable agricultural development and has become a major agro-ecological problem that has attracted public concern in China. This study proposes a soil–crop collaborative risk assessment model that aims to assess the potential safety risks of heavy metal pollution in farmland soils by considering the concentrations of heavy metals in ...

Rice is a carbohydrate, one of the plant-based foods that can accumulate heavy metal from soil and the irrigation water. Since total heavy metal always overestimates the amount of heavy metal available in rice, bioavailability of heavy metal is always preferred. Many studies have been done and found that in vitro methods offer an appealing alternative to human and animal studies. They can be si...

bioremediation of heavy metals remains a major challenge in environmental biotechnology. biosorption is a novel technique for decreasing metal ion content in the waste water. biosorption experiments for cu (ii) were investigated in this study using bacteria isolated from the industrial effluent. the results showed that the dead cells of pseudomonas sp. were an efficient adsorbent of cu (ii). fo...
