the pollution of water environments is a challenging issue especially in developing countries. contamination of drinking water with heavy metals has been reported in many parts of the world. arsenic, chromium and lead are dangerous heavy metals and also common contaminants of drinking water. in this study, the capacity and performance of the surfactant-modified sabzevar natural nanozeolite (sms...

Heavy metals are highly poisonous in the environment, even in small quantities, and endanger certain species and all live beings. Current methods of removing heavy metals from aqueous media include chemical sequestration, ion exchange, surface absorption, membrane processes, oxidation and revival procedures which have high investment and exploitation costs. Hence, it is significantly necessary ...

 The concentrations of Cd, Pb, Ni and Hg were determined in gill, liver and muscle of Barbus xanthopterus in down streams of Karoon and Dez Rivers during summer 2009. Heavy metal concentrations varied significantly, depending on the types of the tissue in fish species. The levels of heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, Ni and Hg in the Barbus xanthopterus of Karoon River were higher than in Barbus xant...

The aim of this study is to analysis the performance of Robinia pseudoascacia (black locust tree) to accumulation some of heavy metals and compared with the concentration of these metals in falling dust Yazd highway green belt. In order to an experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replications.The results showed that the concentration of, ...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

gabrik in the east of hormozgan province is mangrove habitat and one of the important mangrove protected area. this area is located in oman coasts. this zone because of building jagin dam on gabrick river and existence of sand barrier and exposure of pollution, it is possible to destroy or to be important threats of this planet. base on importance of this sea inhabitation some of sedimentology ...

One of the important abiotic stresses that negatively affect cereals such as wheat is heavy metals. Soil pollution with heavy metals has become one of the major environmental concerns resulting from the industrial development and use of fertilizers containing heavy metals. One way to counteract the negative effects of heavy metals in plants which produce reactive oxygen species is the activatio...

background: developmental activities especially the establishment of more than 20 industrial units in semnan province caused the officers worries about increased concentration of heavy metals in drinking water supplies and probably increasing of health risk at consumers. the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of semnan province industrial development on the health risk level caused ...
