Introduction: Heavy metals owing to their health hazards and high toxicity in low concentration for human and environment have very concern and attention. Slow sand filter is one of the simple and cost-effective for removal of these pollutants. In this method, media play an important role for removal of pollutant. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation of different media like slag, ...

During last century, waste water of gold mine has accumulated heavy metals such as lead, zinc and cadmium in Zarshuran region soil, and thus has increased epidemic disease in this region drastically. The purpose of this research was to reduce the mobility and bioavailability of zinc, lead and cadmium in rhizosphere of sunflower grown in soil around the mine by inorganic sorbents. A pot experime...

Background and Objective: Using wastewater as a renewable water source to irrigate plants is a safe and effective solution. In contrast, the accumulation of heavy elements in soil and plants is one of the concerns of the use of wastewater in agriculture. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of urban wastewater use on the most important physiological parameters related to the grow...

Background and purpose : Ône of the hazards of industrilization of the communities is use of different chemicals, which are dagnous and health threatening. Heavy methals are one of sach chemicals. Materials and Methods : Çonsidering the accumulative property of cadmium and lead in spinach and radish growing in sari suburbs, this research was undertaken. Dry ash method was applied for the p...

Introduction: Bioaccumulation Capacity of Heavy metals in aquatic bodies can do a serious threat to food security and public health. Therefore, in this study, the amount of lead, cadmium and copper in edible tissues of hydrothermal fish in Alborz province was determined in 2017. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one carp fish of three species were randomly selected from the Mahmoudi fishery, which ...

Background and purpose: Heavy metals cause major environmental pollution. They accumulate in soil, plants and crops through irrigation with polluted effluents or wastewaters. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the concentration of lead and cadmium in soil and irrigation water and their accumulation in pith, flesh, and the skin of kiwifruit. Materials and methods: A sample of...
