knowledge of the probable origin and behaviour of arsenic certainly gives valuable insights into the potential for transfer in the environment and of the risks involved in mining sites. sequential extraction analyses are common experiments often used to study the origin and behaviour of potentially toxic elements. the method, however, presents some deficiencies, including labor-intensive proced...

this study was conducted in assaluyeh region, southwest of iran to show utilization and efficiency of sequential extraction analysis in environmental impact studies using soil and related regolith materials as sample media. in order to investigate distribution of heavy metals, optimized bcr (community bureau of reference) sequential extraction analysis method was used. in this caseeight repres...

the effect of temperature on the adsorption of heavy metals on not only natural bulk clay, but also for the individual phases that composed the bulk clay sample, was investigated. combined adsorption- sequential extraction analysis (casa) for pb, cu, zn and cd were conducted under various temperatures that ranged from 150c to 550c. as a result, it was found that heavy metals adsorption for bulk...

fifty street dust samples were collected from southern and eastern parts of tehran, the capitalof iran. samples were collected during summer under dry and stable weather conditions. total concentrationsof copper (cu), cadmium (cd), lead (pb), chromium (cr), nickel (ni), zinc (zn), iron (fe), manganese (mn)and lithium (li) were determined. ten samples were then selected for characterization, met...

thechah nimeh reservoirs of sistan is as one of the main water sources of zabol city used for drinking, agriculture, industry and livestock purposes. this study aimed to determine the contribution of the natural and concentration factors of heavy metals such as cd, pb and cu in sediment of chah nimeh of sistan. the concentrations of heavy metals in surface sediments were studied in six stations...

the study aimed to come up with a list of specific macroalgae species, which could be used to biomonitor specific metal elements in the coastal waters of east africa. water extraction, edta, aqua regia extraction and optimized bcr 3-step sequential extracts were used to mimic bioavailable metals under various environmental conditions. the results indicated that ulva lactuca could be used as a b...

abstract uranium as a natural radioactive heavy metal widely disperses throughout the earth's crust. in many cases, the natural abundance has been re-distributed due to anthropogenic activities, resulting in radionuclide contamination in groundwater and surface soil. uranium through the plant uptake can enter the chain. the degree of speciation of radio nuclides in soils in areas with differing...
