Water treatment plants offer the opportunity to reduce exposure of humans nanoparticle contamination. An affinity-based filter made from natural materials and Moringa oleifera seed protein achieves high removals various nanoparticles.

Abstract Health, and in turn income welfare, depend on access to safe drinking water. Although the majority of rural households worldwide obtain water from community sources, there is limited evidence about how effectively these sources provide This study combines a randomized experiment with quality testing evaluate impact program that provides deep tubewells Bangladesh.

the contents of as, cd, cu and mo were determined in soil surrounding meyduk tailings dam based on 21 surface soil samples. assessment of toxic element pollution in studied soil samples needs knowledge of pre-anthropogenic metal concentration to act as a reference against which measured values could be compared. estimating the background values was executed by sampling rocks adjacent to soil sa...

Fast-growing trees such as Salix viminalis L. and Populus tremula L. are well suited to phytoremediate heavy metal contaminated soils. However, information on tree performance, particularly leaf function, under conditions of heavy metal contamination is scarce. We used yearly coppiced saplings of S. viminalis and P. tremula growing in model ecosytems to test four hypotheses: (1) heavy metal con...
