background: presence of heavy metals in leachate due to the biological accumulation characteristics of these materials endangered the living creatures' health especially human. purpose of this study is to study and investigate the possibility of two metals' absorption i.e, lead and cadmium from leachate by natural zeolite clinopteliolit and increase of the ability to absorb the zeolite by modif...

Cadmium, lead and mercury contents in fish were studied. Fresh and frozen fish from 17 FAO localities were bought in Czech markets. Atomic absorption spectrometry technique was used for determination of cadmium, lead and mercury concentration. Ten samples exceeded the maximum permissible limit for mercury (0.5 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg for selected fish species) and three fish samples exceeded the maxim...

The U.S. FDA has not regulated metals in cosmetics except in the case that zirconium is prohibited in aerosol preparations and mercury can only be used (generally as a preservative) when no other alternative is possible. They do have the authority to protect consumers against contamination deemed to be deleterious to health. Proposition 65 in California requires notice when concentrations in a ...

The suitability of isotachophoresis for the analysis of metals in, e.g., environmental samples was studied. In a cationic operational system the heavy metals Fe, Cu, Ni, Cd, Co, Zn, Pb and Mn were simultaneously determined. The separation was achieved through complex formation with one of the counter ions, hydroxyisobutyric acid. The other counter ion was acetic acid, the leading ion was 0.02 M...

background and purpose: determination of heavy metals in oils is necessary to establish quality standards on a country level. this study aimed to determine of heavy metal contents (cr, ni, as, cd, hg, pb, sb, sn, sr, al) in 12 seed oil samples in iran by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (icp-oes). materials and methods: the concentrations of heavy metal were determined b...

Anodic stripping voltammetric determination of Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu in blood samples of 132 children was developed. The children's ages range was between 6 months and 6 years and the samples were collected from different areas of Ibb governorate (Yemen). We used anodic stripping voltammetry for analyzing and determination of cited metals in the blood of all children. Large variation in the results...

Extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. The aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of pH, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. Compared techn...

Heavy metals in textile wastewater represent a major environmental problem, and are a potential danger to human health when present on textiles. Furthermore, the presence of some metals influences the production of textiles. Heavy metals are often used as oxidizing agents, as metal complex dyes, dye stripping agents, fastness improvers, and finishers. Thus, they act as hazardous sources through...

Abstract In this paper, Qeera wastewater containing stream, found in Bakkee-Jamaa district of Nekemte town, was assessed for selected metals and physico-chemical properties. The metals were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). Additional water samples collected from Dangi spring water, which is found about 10 km far away from the town, and Chalalaqi waste water ...
