Soils close to former mines or metallurgical facilities often contain extreme concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), and among soil remediation actions needed, enhanced phytoextraction techniques using chelating agents could be a very promising option. In this context, pot experiment was conducted evaluate the effect Na2-EDTA, olive mill wastewater (OMW), their combination (EDTA +...

Ni-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Ni-EDTA) poses serious threats to the ecological environment and human health, due its acute toxicity low biodegradability. The decomplexation efficiency of Ni-EDTA through conventional Fenton process has been constrained pH; thus, other appropriate approaches are required destroy stable chelate structure at a neutral pH. In this study, effect operating param...

To examine the hypothesis that EDTA increases hatching rates and survival of penaeid shrimp larvae by decreasing the toxicities of heavy metals through chelation, the toxicity of cadmium, a highly toxic metal, was compared to the toxicities of calcium and phenol in both the presence and absence of EDTA. In addition, the toxicity of EDTA at higher concentrations was examined. The toxicities of E...

This investigation was made to examine the role of gibberellic acid (GA(3)), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and EDTA in improving phytoextraction of the Pb and plant growth on Pb added soil. GA(3), IAA and EDTA were applied separately and in combinations. GA(3) and IAA were applied as foliar spray and seed soaking. EDTA was applied in single and split doses. Analysis of the Pb in different parts of...

In ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP), automated platelet counts are lower than actual counts because of EDTA-induced aggregation. Factors contributing to the incidence of EDTA-PTCP are unknown, and no study has assessed the prognosis of EDTA-PTCP patients. This retrospective study assessed characteristics in EDTA-PTCP patients and matched controls to...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oral anticoagulant therapy is commonly called for in health care. Hitherto sampling for prothrombin time (PT) has been measured on blood collected into a coagulation tube and diluted in citrate solution. Blood samples anticoagulated with EDTA are used for hematologic tests and the same sample could also be available for PT. DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 107 patients ...
