Festuca ovina L. is a hyperaccumulating plant which has aroused considerableinterest with respect to its possible use for phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Thisstudy has been conducted to evaluate the potentials of F. ovina L. to serve as aphytoremediation plant in the cleaning up of Cu in the polluted soils and to identifyextraction efficiency of Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) ...

In 2007, Steven Avery was sentenced to prison for the murder of Teresa Halbach. What made this case stand out was that Avery had recently been released from prison, after wrongfully spending 18 years incarcerated on a rape charge. Advances in DNA analysis were used to prove Avery’s innocence, resulting in his release. Avery quickly filed a lawsuit against Manitowoc County and former officials, ...

Soils close to former mines or metallurgical facilities often contain extreme concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), and among soil remediation actions needed, enhanced phytoextraction techniques using chelating agents could be a very promising option. In this context, pot experiment was conducted evaluate the effect Na2-EDTA, olive mill wastewater (OMW), their combination (EDTA +...

collected into the sodium citrate-containing tube, which showed normal platelet counts. Only a few cases of PGPS have been reported [1-4]. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Korea. Stavem and Berg [1] described EDTA-induced ‘platelet stain preventing factor’, and Mant et al. [2], Cockbill et al. [3], and Toyota et al. [4] reported platelet degranulation caused by EDTA. U...

A sensitive and selective chemiluminescence method was developed to determine ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in water samples. It was observed that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) catalyzed chemiluminescence (CL) reactions of permanganate-aldehydes which underwent an enhancement effect in the presence of iron(III) ions (Fe(3+)). This effect is more remarkable in the presence of EDTA, and a h...
