since heavy metals are considered as one of the major pollutants threatening, the main goal of this study was to bring out the concentrations of pb, zn and mn in the surface sediments off bushehr in the persian gulf. for this purpose, after collection of samples, the concentrations of the three metals in surface sediments were measured through the atomic absorption. the results were compared wi...

background: the increasing use of nanomaterials and nanoproducts has increased the possibility of contamination of the environment, which may have adverse effects on different organisms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on histopathology and gill ultrastructure of zebrafish (danio rerio) under laboratory conditions. methods: zebrafish were exposed to fou...

In this paper we study on the report on heavy metal ions pollution and strategies to reduce metal ion exposure to human and environment by using non-thermal plasma technology. We find that plasma pollution control technology is more significant than others technology because of its advantages such as smaller space volume, lower cost, higher treatment and energy efficiencies. It is found that th...

abstract mine excavation, concentration and transportation of minerals make southern esfahan municipality and suburb of sepahanshahr vulnerable to pollution and endanger their people by heavy metals. nowadays, spectrophotometers and spectral reflectance of soils in different parts of spectrum are applied for estimating soil characteristics and pollutants. this research was conducted to study th...

abstract nowadays, soil pollution with heavy metals has become a major problem which their accumulation in plants can directly or indirectly influence on animals and humans life. lead and cadmium are poisonous metals, with increasing the amount of these metals in environmental pollution; they will be increased in food chain significantly. in this research, three levels of cadmium (0, 100 and 20...

the  present study was aimed  at comparing the ability of three crop plants for phytoremediation of zinc (zn) and nickel (zn) from soils. a factorial (3×2×3) experiment based on rcbd was  used to compare the treatments,  and was repeated three times. the first factor was crop type (wheat, clover and rapeseed), the second factor was heavy metal types (zinc (zn) and nickel (ni)) and the third fac...

Metal abrasive particle content in lubricating oil is an important index to judge the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil. Established a spiral electrode capacitance sensor by the finite element software ANSYS, the simulation result shows that the sensor is sensitive to the content of metal abrasive particle in lubricating oil, not affect by the metal abrasive particle itself. According ...

Increased soil pollution with heavy metals due to various human and natural activities has led to a growing need to address environmental contamination. Some remediation technologies have been developed to treat contaminated soil, but a biology-based technology, phytoremediation, is emerging. Phytoremediation includes phytovolatilization, phytostabilization, and phytoextraction using hyperaccum...

Denitrification is one of the most important soil microbial processes leading to the production of nitrous oxide (N2O). The potential changes with metal pollution in soil microbial community for N2O production and reduction are not well addressed. In this study, topsoil samples were collected both from polluted and non-polluted rice paddy fields and denitrifier communities were characterized wi...

studies have showed the river siahroud is the main contributor to the present pollution of anzali wetland in guilan. therefore, this study was initiated to evaluate the spatial distribution of metals pollution on the river siahroud sediments in guilan.surfacial river sediment samples along this river were taken during five consecutive seasons at eight sampling stations and analyzed for availabi...
