Cadmium is a common impurity in phosphatic fertilizers and may contribute to soil Cd accumulation. Changes in total and bioavailable Cd burdens to agricultural soils and the potential for plant Cd accumulation resulting from fertilizer input was investigated. Three year field studies were conducted using three dose levels of cadmium-rich, commercial, phosphate fertilizers applied at four agricu...

The studies were carried out on heavy metal bioavailability and leachability during water hyacinth composting mixed with cattle manure, sawdust and natural zeolite. The water hyacinth, cattle manure and sawdust were taken in the 6:3:1 ratio with 5, 10 and 15% natural zeolite and composted for 30 days. The concentrations of nutrients and total heavy metals were increased during the process. Due ...

DNA/RNA Description DNA contains 27.322 kb composed of 20 coding exons. Exons 1-2 encode the 5' untranslated region and the signal peptide, exons 3-7 the five EGF domains, exons 8-13 the extracellular stalk, exons 14-18 the seven-span transmembrane (TM7) domains and exons 19-20 the intracellular part and the 3' untranslated region. Transcription 3247 bp mRNA transcribed in telomeric to centrome...

environmental pollution by heavy metals is a growing global concern. most heavy metals accumulate in the top soil and in the long term, increased concentrations in the soil results in increased absorption and accumulation in plants. the usual concentration of cadmium in the soil is 0.001-2.4 mg/kg of dry soil. the level of absorption and accumulation in plants depends on the type of plant, tiss...

In this study, we studied the influence of dosage modified bamboo charcoal (KAM-500-400-3) on fixation effect single Cu(II)-contaminated and mixed Cu(II)–Cd(II)-contaminated sediment. The results showed that it could effectively fix heavy metals in both sediment types. sediment, when amount added KAM500-400-3 was greater than or equal to 5%, Cu(II) content overlying pore water substantially red...

abstract nowadays, environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious threats of the world which needs effective remediation actions. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of atriplex [atriplex verucifera], salicornia [salicornia europaea] and chenopodium album in simultaneous uptake and accumulation of na and cd or pb in two calcareous soils with different ...

Acidic (pH 4.1) and high Cd, Pb, and Zn mine tailings (mean +/- SD: 17 +/- 0.4, 3800 +/- 100, and 3500 +/- 100 mg kg(-1), respectively) from an alluvial tailings deposit in Leadville, Colorado were amended with municipal biosolids (BS) (224 Mg ha(-1)) and different types of lime (calcium carbonate equivalent of 224 Mg ha(-1) CaCO3) in a greenhouse column study to test the ability of the amendme...

Abstract Purpose The use of plant extracts obtained from plants that are highly tolerant to heavy metal toxicity has been beneficial in improving the growth grown under conditions. A lab experiment was performed elucidate alleviating role foliar applied cadmium (Cd)-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum ( S. ) extract on Datura innoxia D. Cd stress (0, 50, and 100 mg kg -1 soil). Methods Growth param...
