a field study was conducted around pb slag contaminated sites in ibadan, nigeria to assess theintake of trace metals by cows reared around the contaminated sites as indication of heavy metals contamination.levels of pb, cd, cu and zn in blood, milk and faeces were determined in 20 cows exposed to the sites and 20reference cows from uncontaminated areas. chemical analysis of pasture grasses and ...

Concentration and daily intake (DI) of heavy metals [lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu)] were investigated in four common edible vegetables including coriander, dill, radish root and radish leaf grown at peri-urban sites in Sanandaj, Iran. A total of 120 composite samples of vegetables were taken from ten vegetable farms during six months from May to October 2012. Inductivel...

in this work x-ray fluorescence (xrf) technique was used to evaluate the soil pollution withheavy metals for twenty four surface soil samples (0–10 cm in depth) from various locations to cover theindustrial area in omdurman city, sudan. concentrations of 10 elements cr, ni, cu, zn, zr, pb, rb, co, cd andas were determined. it was found that cr, cu and cd concentrations for almost all studied si...

Phytoremediation is an efficient approach that uses plants to remediate the polluted environments.The aim of this research was to evaluate phytoremediation ability of Artemisia aucheriin the contaminated soil to Cadmium, Lead, Zinc and Nickel. A greenhouse experiment was performed to investigate the effect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSWC) on phytoremediation efficiency of A....

The current paper determines heavy metals in sediments of six freshwater wetlands of greater Dhaka district from November 1999 to September 2000. The sampling took place in summer, rainy season, and winter, wherein for each season five soil samples were collected from the wetland at a depth of 0 – 15 cm. To assess the status of heavy metal pollution in the sediments, geo-accumulation factor (Ig...
