thallium is widely found in nature, but the only inorganic stones full of this element are crookesite and lorandit. it isalso found in pyrites of copper, lead and inorganic stones. the element and its compositions are toxic and harmful to theenvironment; therefore, its application requires caution and further research. it is important to develop sensitive andaccurate analytical methods to deter...

INTRODUCTION The determination of toxic elements in the biological samples of human beings is an important clinical procedure. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of abnormal blood contents of 2 trace elements (TEs), aluminum (Al),and lead (Pb) in hemodialysis (HD) patients and to analyze their relationship with the medications, such as CaCO(3), Ca acetate, 1,25-dihydroxy vit...

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the season and the breeding region on the content of selected minerals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb, Cd) in the hair of dairy cows. The research material covered 114 Holstein-Friesian breed cows from three breeding centres in Poland, hereafterreferred to as A, B and C. Breeding centre A is located in Opolskie province, breeding centre B in Podlaskie...

The present study reports measured levels of Hg and other trace elements in commercial salmon feed; farmed Atlantic, coho, and chinook salmon (n = 110); and wild coho, chinook, chum, sockeye, and pink salmon (n = 91). Metal concentrations in farmed and wild salmon from British Columbia, Canada, were relatively low and below human health consumption guidelines. Methylmercury in all salmon sample...

Soil contamination is a persistent problem in the world. The redevelopment of a site with a historical deposition of metals might conceal the threat of remaining pollution, especially when the site has become a public place. In this study, human health risk assessment is performed after defining the concentrations of Pb, Ni, and Zn in the topsoil of a former shooting range rehabilitated into a ...

The composite diazotization coupling reaction of sulfanilic acid and N, Ndimethylaniline was used for the precise, accurate, and rapid determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion (0.02-3 µg/ml). The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of the produced methyl orange at 510 nm by a fixed the method of 5.0 minutes. The relative standard deviation for the...

Pollutants can have severe detrimental effects on insects, even at sublethal doses, damaging developmental and cognitive processes involved in crucial behaviours. Agrochemicals been identified as important causes of pollinator declines, but the impacts other anthropogenic compounds, such metallic trace elements soils waters, received considerably less attention. Here, we exposed colonies Europe...
