The increasing prevalence of environmental pollution, especially soil contamination with heavy metals has led to their uptake in the human food chains through plant parts. Accumulation and magnification of heavy metals in human tissues through consumption of herbal remedies can cause hazardous impacts on health. Therefore, chemical profiling of nine heavy metals (Mn, Cr, Pb, Fe, Cd, Co, Zn, Ni ...

Purpose: To determine the metallic content of different parts of Gloriosa superba collected from two different locations in Pakistan, and also to assess their nutritious values and toxic levels. Methods: The plant material and soil were collected from two different locations polluted and unpolluted. Wet digestion method was used for the preparation of samples (whole plant and soil) followed by ...

As top consumers in food chains, birds of prey forage over large geographical areas and so might be expected to accumulate environmental contaminants which are distributed in the environment. These wild animals can offer opportunities to detect and assess the toxicological effects of different inorganic elements on terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, different raptor species, both diurnal an...

OBJECTIVES Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with poor outcome after mitral valve replacement (MVR). We proposed to evaluate the effect of valve prosthesis patient mismatch (PPM) on pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure following MVR. METHODS Five hundred patients who have undergone MVR were studied retrospectively. Postoperative PA systolic pressure (PASP) measured 6 months post...

O estudo foi realizado nos manguezais dos estuários Rios Jacuípe e Capivara Pequeno, município de Camaçari, Litoral Norte do Estado da Bahia - Brasil, sob influência resíduos industriais, emanados Empresa Proteção Ambiental Pólo Petroquímico (CETREL). manguezal Canal Itaparica, Baía Todos os Santos, supostamente sem efeitos poluentes, tomado como área controle. Foram coletadas folhas Rhizophora...

This study investigated the influence and interactions of geochemical fractions toxic metals in sediments River Ogun Nigeria. Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr, Co were significantly present across area, while Cu, Ni, Cd negligible. All metals, except found highly above their permissible limits sediments. The bulk metal concentrations followed trend: Fe >> Mn > Zn Pb Cu ? Cr ?Ni Cd. At p = 0.05, (ppm...

It is well established through field observations, experiments, and chemical models that oxidation (redox) state and pH exert a strong influence on the speciation of dissolved components and the solubility of minerals in hydrothermal fluids. log fO2–pH diagrams were used to depict the influence of oxygen fugacity and pH on monocarboxylateand dicarboxylate-transport of Pb and Zn in low-temperatu...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the nutrient content POC produced from household waste using stacked bucket method. This research conducted for 3 months September November 2020. is a descriptive study. first process making organic fertilizer which fermented in 2 months. Leachate dried sun one month or until leachate blackish color and has no more subtle aroma. finished sampled tested l...
