single and joint toxicity of chloramphenicol and hg acting on wheat (triticum aestivum l.), chinese cabbage (brassica campestris l.) and corn (zea mays l.) were investigated. the results showed positive correlations between root elongation inhibition of three plants and concentrations of pollutants added to soil (p

Mercuric ions are highly reactive and form a variety of organic complexes or conjugates in vivo. The renal proximal tubule is a primary target for mercury uptake and toxicity, and circumstantial evidence implicates organic anion transporters in these processes. To test this hypothesis directly, the transport and toxicity of mercuric-thiol conjugates were characterized in a Madin-Darby canine ki...

The use of phytoremediation technology to remove heavy metal ions from aquatic environments or reduce their toxicity offers the possibility restoring ecological environment polluted water bodies. Based on available literature absorption by plants, we conducted a meta-analysis study absorptive capacities different plants as well factors that influence Hg-absorption performance. Seventeen plant f...

Mercury (Hg) pollution in the environment is a global issue and toxicity of mercury depends on its speciation. Chemical redox reactions an aquatic greatly impact Hg evasion to atmosphere methylation natural waters. Identifying abiotic pathways relevant waters important for predicting transport fate environment. The objective this review summarize current state knowledge specific at molecular le...

In this paper, a series of equilibrium and kinetic experiments Hg(II) removal in single-stage batch reactor on natural (NZ) sulfur-impregnated zeolite (SZ) were performed. Batch sorption zeolites was studied using different isothermal models. It found to be best described by the Brouers-Sotolongo isotherm Vermeulen’s approximation, which applied optimizing mass contact time two-stage cross-curr...

Wildlife may be exposed to mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) from a variety of environmental sources, including mine tailings, industrial effluent, agricultural drainwater, impoundments, and atmospheric deposition from electric power generation. Terrestrial and aquatic wildlife may be at risk from exposure to waterborne Hg and MeHg. The transformation of inorganic Hg by anaerobic sediment m...
