The concentrations of cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc and lead were investigated in various components of smooth-leaved elm (Ulmus carpinifolia) tree in three sites (polluted, moderately polluted, and control) in Abadeh, Iran, in July 2015. The experiment was conducted using factorial experiment in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The concentration of heavy metals was measu...

Traditional medicines by medicinal plants have always played a key role in world health including Iran buttheir safety profile is a major concern in this regard. In fact some factors such as the method of extraction,contamination with microorganisms, existence of heavy metals, and pesticides may reduce the safety ofherbal based pharmaceutical products. The objective of this research was to dete...

due to environmental problems caused by mining activities, it is necessary to study and investigation the concentrations of the pollutants caused by this activities such as heavy metals. the aim of this study is the determination of the concentration of heavy metals cu, pb and zn in roots of two species of artemisia including artemisia aucheri and artemisia sieberi in the surrounding natural la...

the spatial and temporal distribution of heavy metals in water, sediment and fish (dry weight basis) of buriganga river, bangladesh were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. in water concentration of pb, cd, ni, cu and cr varied seasonally and spatially from 58.17 to 72.45î¼g/l, 7.08 to 12.33î¼g/l, 7.15 to 10.32î¼g/l, 107.38 to 201.29î¼g/l and 489.27 to 645.26î¼g/l, respectively. ...

Several electroplating industry including agricultural sector industries, sewage treatment and mining operations all combine to generate hazardous waste water containing enormous amounts of toxic heavy metals. The accumulation of toxic heavy metals in human beings and animals cause many metabolic disorders. Heavy metal concentration was estimated in sewage, sludge and electroplating wastewater ...

the effects of industrial textile water(effluent water,ew) on soil, water and plant was investigated in this research. for conducting this research major important textile factory were selected and sampling was done in 2 stages and in 2 years. in each district and the control field (soil not irrigation with effluent water) the soils from 0-30 cm depth and plants were sampled in three replicates...
