The levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) and in the rizosphere soils of the industrially polluted (Konabari, Gazipur; Keranigonj, Dhaka), and non-polluted (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute-BARI, Gazipur) areas were studied. Four samples from each area were collected durin...

The accumulation of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in the femora of four rodent species (Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus sylvaticus, Myodes glareolus, and Microtus arvalis) trapped at different polluted areas in Slovakia (Kolíňany and Nováky) was investigated in the present study. We detected the highest concentration of Pb in bones of A. sylvaticus f...

Accumulation of nickel, lead, copper and zinc in the liver of a freshwater fish, Tor putitora has been studied from polluted waters of River Kabul at two different sites and compared with those from pristine Warsak Dam reservoir upstream of polluted part of the River Kabul. The liver of fish from polluted site showed higher concentration of zinc (1300% and 3100%), nickel (21.1% and 25.5%), lead...

In the recent years, agricultural soils have received more chemicals in various forms for higher yields. This may result in the accumulation of metals in soils which subsequently may be transferred into the agricultural crops. In the present investigation, nickel content of 58 composite soil samples and also agricultural crops, is studied. Ni in samples of soil and agricultural products were ex...

background: evaluation of heavy metals as toxic pollutants in environment has a significant importance in environmental pollution studies. surficial sediments of water resources have a high potential in releasing heavy metals to the upper water environment, hence sediment analysis presents guidelines to the authorities for monitoring the environmental systems. methods: in this study, total and ...

abstract soil contamination by heavy metals is yet one of the most important environmental concerns. among heavy metals, nickel and cadmium have dangerous influences on human, animals and plants. the objective of this study was to derive a new model for simultaneous phytoextraction of ni and cd from contaminated soils. consequently, a macroscopic model was derived by combining yield reduction f...

The concentrations of cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc and lead were investigated in various components of smooth-leaved elm (Ulmus carpinifolia) tree in three sites (polluted, moderately polluted, and control) in Abadeh, Iran, in July 2015. The experiment was conducted using factorial experiment in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The concentration of heavy metals was measu...
