Impact of anthropogenic activities of man and his environment as a result of the growing rate of industrialisation in Tamilnadu, India is of a great concern. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical properties and heavy metal concentration of soil in different industrial areas. Soil samples were collected from seven industries like welding, cement, steel, printing, textile, p...

Levels of Zn, Cu, Cd, As, and Pb in the kidney, Liver, Gills and Heart of African cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) from the Ogun River in Ogun State located close to six major industries in the South Western part of Nigeria, were determined using Bulk Scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Fishes were also collected from Government owned fish farm in Agodi, Ibadan which was considered a r...

The purpose this activity determine SEM analysis made from cassava skin Group. carried out 4 weeks. materials used ...

Reactive elements (RE), such as Ce, La or Y, are known to improve oxidation resistance of Fe based alloys that form Cr2O3 scales. The current investigation aims to characterize the oxide scale in a Fe-22 wt.% Cr alloy containing 120 ppm La and 270 ppm Ce (added during melt-stage processing) as a function of oxidation times (at 800°C in dry air) during the transient stage of scale formation. The...

Heavy metals are naturally present in the environment. As a result of human activities and some natural events, mixing these water, air soil is one most serious global problems. The toxicity also problem due to their accumulation living things non-biodegradable characteristics. Increasing heavy metal pollution aquatic terrestrial environments requires improvement strategies such as bioremediati...

The aim of this study was to examine the minerals content (toxic elements, macro-elements and trace elements) Basilicata region (southern Italy) honeys compare mineral profile classified as rural, industrial urban according anthropic characteristics geographical origin. Overall, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Al, Zn Mn were most abundant elements detected in honeys, with average contents exceeding 1 ppm, wher...

Plants and plant extracts (PPEs) have gained increasing interest as feed additives and possible replacing antibiotics for pig productions. The effects of dietary Chlorella vulgaris (1%), sodium alginate (0.1%), inulin (1.5%), and a mixture of essential oils (0.04%) supplements on immune response, and bioavailability of some micronutrients (iron − Fe, copper − Cu, manganese − Mn, and zinc − Zn) ...

Heavy metal pollution has become a serious health concern in recent years, because of industrial and agricultural development. Heavy metals of industrial bio-waste contaminate drinking water, food and air. The toxic heavy metals of great concern are Cd, Pb and Hg which are usually associated with harmful effects in men and animals. It is recognized that heavy metals may exercise a definite infl...
