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...

Human activities around or within national highways, combined with atmospheric mixing, produce road dust, which can cause health problems through a variety of exposure routes. Thus, the study was aimed to investigate contamination, spatial distribution, potential ecological and human risks various toxic heavy metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), nickel ...

The concentration of some heavy metals: Al, Ca, K, Fe, Ti, Mg, Mn, V, Cr, Zn, Ni and Co in sediments from Pulicat Lake to Vadanemmeli along Chennai Coast, Tamil Nadu has been determined using EDXRF technique. The mean concentrations of Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, Fe, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn were found to be 1918, 25436, 9832, 9859, 2109, 8209, 41.58, 34.14, 160.80, 2.85. 18.79 and 29.12 mg kg-1 respec...

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 an...

eight selected heavy metals (cu, zn, pb, cd, cr, mn, fe and al) in surface and sub-surfacesediments in the northern coast of sfax (tunisia) were studied in order to assess the sediment quality and tohighlight the anthropogenic contributions to heavy metal distributions in the two study sediment levels.multiple chemometric approaches based on geographic information system (gis), enrichment facto...

Bu çalışmada, İstanbul ilinin yapım yılları farklı iki otoyolu olan, E80 Tem Otoyolu ve Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu’nun bölgelerinden alınan 36 adet toprak numunesinin inorganik element konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi, ayrıca kirlilik faktörü (CF) jeo-birikim (Igeo) indeksi hesaplamaları yapılarak, çevre toksikolojisi halk sağlığı çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Indüktif Eşleşmiş Plaz...
