To investigate potential health risks associated with exposure to metals from an abandoned metal mine, the authors studied people living near an abandoned mine (n=102) and control groups (n=149). Levels of cadmium, copper, arsenic, lead, and zinc were measured in the air, soil, drinking water, and agricultural products. To assess individual exposure, biomarkers of each metal in blood and urine ...

Apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have a special role in infant diet. Infants and young children are very susceptible to amount of trace elements. Copper and zinc are two elements that add in infant food. Lead and cadmium are heavy metals that enter to food chain unavoidably. DPASV is a benefit and applicable method for measurement of trace elements in food produc...

determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (dpasv) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

Flotation is, doubtless, the most important process among the various techniques used for the treatment of ore. This generalpurpose technique allows the treatment of several complex ores (lead zinc, copper zinc), sulphides (copper, lead, and zinc), oxides (hematite, quartz), oxidized minerals (malachite, cerusite) and even non-metal ores (fluorite, phosphate, coal). Due to the flotation, it is ...

Concentrations of heavy metals, pH, and particle size distribution parameters were measured in Dragica stream and Djetinja River water receiving wastewaters from copper rolling mill industry, Sevojno. The concentrations of copper, zinc, lead, and mercury were determined for water samples collected in summer 2009. It was found that Copper Rolling Mill Sevojno was the significant source of water ...

The geochemical analysis was carried out in the center-south portion of state Bahia, semi-arid region where outcrop Paramirim Complex, Boquira Unit, Granite, Veredinha Serra do Espinhaço, detritus coverings and alluvial deposits. Unit is known for lead-zinc mineralization. In this unit operated mine, considered largest lead zinc mine Brazil, until it suddenly abandoned, leaving significant envi...

Current study was done to determine the concentration of heavy metals including Lead and Cadmium and nutrients element Copper and Zinc in a simple and whole wheat Macaroni in the valid different supermarkets in the city of Tehran. 254 samples from seven Iranian simple Macaroni , four foreign simple Macaroni and two Iranian whole wheat macaroni were purchased consecutively in 3 seasons of 2015. ...
