high concentration of nitrate is a prevalent problem in water resources. untreated wastewater due to municipal, industrial and agricultural activities is the main potential source of nitrate contamination of groundwater and surface water. the maximum permissible level of nitrate concentration has been established to be 45 mg/l by who and us–epa. health problems, such as methemoglobinemia in bab...

Different methods are available for extracting NOx from different samples. A judicious combination of lead acetate, sodium hydroxide and magnesium chloride has been devised to enable extraction of NOx from different samples ensuring removal of potential interfering agents. The method provides over 95 per cent mean recovery with nearly 3 per cent accuracy and precision. Nitrite is determined by ...

concerns about nitrate pollution in groundwater and downstream systems cause development of surface water management system to reduce losses of agricultural drainage water nitrate in subsurface drainage using subsurface irrigation from existing drainage lines, drainage water during the growing season and out of season is controlled. the overall objective of this study was to evaluate the effect...

Different biological methods are gaining recognition for the production of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) due to their multiple applications. The use of plants in the synthesis of nanoparticles emerges as a cost effective and eco-friendly approach. In the present study, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using Ziziphora tenuior L of water extraction was carried out. For this purpose the wa...

introduction: it has been reported that acute administration of morphine impairs learning and memory processes in rats. furthermore, recent studies showed that saffron extract improved ethanol-induced impairments of learning behaviors in mice, and also prevented ethanol-induced inhibition of hippocampal long-term potentiation. it can be postulated that there are some common mechanisms responsib...

nitrate has been the most common chemical contaminant in water resource. this ion is introduced into the water via different ways, but more items of nitrate pollution was connected with farming-based drainage and sewage effluent. in this descriptive-analytical study, groundwater nitrate and nitrite concentrations of 8 wells on dehloran, ilam, iran, were analyzed in 2015 to determine the causes ...

background: nitrate and nitrite compounds are considered as groundwater’s contamination factors, which in recent years, their densities have been growing in these resources. this study was conducted aiming to measure nitrate and nitrite density in drinking water wells in villages around the industrial estate, city of orumieh, and to compare them to the approved standards. methods: this was a de...
