The aim of the current research was to evaluate heavy metals contamination in Kurdish rice from main rice-producing areas Kurdistan and its health risk assessment. samples were collected different locations concentration measured by using Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) also calculated potential assessment for local population thr...

In the present communication, analysis of various heavy metal (Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb and Th) concentrations in 10 drinking water samples collected from the diverse locations from different depths of Nagaur district of Rajasthan, India has been carried out by using high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (HR-ICP-MS) technique. The water samples were taken from hand ...

The assessment of heavy metal contaminants: Mn, Cr, V, Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni, was conducted on River Niger Floodplain soil at Jebba, Central Nigeria using Contamination Factor (Cf), Factor (AF), Enrichment Factor (EF), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo) and Degree of Contamination (Cdeg). Random sampling method was adopted cutting across the entire floodplain and the samples were subjected to Inductively...

Introduction: Uncontrolled and improper landfilling of solid waste increases the concentration of heavy metals in the soil. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate soil contamination with heavy metals in the landfill of municipal and hospital waste in Sabzevar city by compiling a map of the severity of heavy metal pollution in the soil. Materials and Methods: Concentrations of heavy metals ...

algae have been proven efficient biological vectors for heavy metal uptake. in order to further study their biosorption potential, two strains spirogyra sp. and spirulina sp. have been studied under different initial metal concentrations. in recent years, the biosorption processes have been studied extensively using microbial biomass as biosorbent for heavy metal ions removal. in these studies,...
