the emarat pb-zn mine is located at about 80 km south of the city of arak , iran. i the present mine-scale litho geochemical survey 56 hanging wall samples and 37 footwall samples were taken form exploratory tunnels, drillholes and open pit all samples were taken in the range of 0-40 m from pb-zn veins. the relationship between three variables including concentration of zn in wallwork, distance...

Variations of heavy metals concentrations (Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd) in suspended matter as well as the physical properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH) at five coastal sites and one reference station (offshore) were measured on seasonal base of the year 2005. Seasonal variations of seawater temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were significant different, meanwhile; spati...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of zinc (zn) supplementation and different concentrations of calcium (ca) and phosphorus (p) in wheat-based diets on the performance, immune responses and bone parameters of broiler chickens. a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement was used (three concentrations of zn supplementation×two concentrations of dietary ca-p),...

Using PIXE (proton-induced X-ray emission), we simultaneously determined the concentrations of Se, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br, and Pb in blood serum from 56 pregnant women, 25 healthy controls, and 31 others with twin pregnancy or some complicating condition (diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, hepatosis gravidarum, pre-eclampsia, small baby), and in cord-blood serum from 21 newborns. Pellets, pressed fr...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of different zinc (zn) sources on performance, bloodmineral and cell counts of zandi lambs. 18 male lambs at weaning were supplemented with two differentsources of zinc, 25 ppm znso4 and 25 ppm zinc-peptide added to the basal diet as control. live bodyweight, weight gain and feed efficiency improved with zn-peptide supplementation (p

One hundred and sixty Columbia- and Suffolk-cross intact male and female growing lambs (8 wk of age) were used in an 84-d feeding trial to determine the effect of two levels dietary Ca and Zn on weight gain, feed utilization and several blood and tissue traits. Two levels of Ca (.5 and .8%) and two levels of Zn (20 and 100 ppm) were fed in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. Th...

It is well established through field observations, experiments, and chemical models that oxidation (redox) state and pH exert a strong influence on the speciation of dissolved components and the solubility of minerals in hydrothermal fluids. log fO2–pH diagrams were used to depict the influence of oxygen fugacity and pH on monocarboxylateand dicarboxylate-transport of Pb and Zn in low-temperatu...

Heat stress (HS) jeopardizes livestock health and productivity and both may in part be mediated by reduced intestinal integrity. Dietary zinc improves a variety of bowel diseases, which are characterized by increased intestinal permeability. Study objectives were to evaluate the effects of supplemental zinc amino acid complex (ZnAA) on intestinal integrity in heat-stressed growing pigs. Crossbr...

in order to evaluate the phragmites australis, myriophyllum spicatum and potamogeton perfoliatus aquatic plant species as an indicator organism of heavy metals pollution in bio-monitoring studies of the aquatic ecosystems, the aim of this study was to determine the levels of heavy metals accumulation zn, cu, pb and cd in sediments, roots, stems and leaves of these plants in north and south of t...

in the present study, the concentrations of three heavy metals including lead (pb), zinc (zn) and arsenic (as) in 72 different honey samples collected from north-western regions of iran were investigated using atomic absorption spectroscopy method. all metals were detected in 88.88% of the honey samples. the range of metals contamination in honey samples was 0.01 to 11.09 ppm. zn was the most a...
