Abstract Background The OncoScan microarray assay (OMA) using highly multiplexed molecular inversion probes for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci enabled the detection of cytogenomic abnormalities chromosomal imbalances and pathogenic copy number variants (pCNV). small size is optimal SNP genotyping fragmented DNA from fixed tissues. This retrospective study evaluated clinical utility O...

Abstract Background The concentration of heavy metals and their spatial distribution in surface sediments collected from the Thondi coast, Palk Bay, South India were analysed this study. sediment grain size, pH, EC, major elements (Fe, Al), metal concentrations (Mn, Cr, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb) determined values for geoaccumulation index ( I geo ), enrichment factor (EF), potential contamination C p...

Effective biomonitoring strategies are essential for identifying and assessing the sources levels of contamination heavy metal pollutants in urban areas, given their negative impacts on human health environment. This study aimed to assess potential common weed, Trifolium pratense as a bioindicator various land uses with focus Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb. The results have shown that Cr Ni had high biocon...

Soil metal pollution is a concern in bauxite tailing areas. This study aimed to effectively screen plants with strong tolerance contamination by analyzing the levels of metals Barbula rigidula (Hedw.) Mild. (BR), indica (Hook.) Spreng. (BI), and vinealis Brid. (BV) soils. The contents mosses obtained from area followed following order: Al > Fe Zn Cu. Furthermore, these were highest BR, BI BV. H...

Sulak alan ekosistemleri çok sayıda fauna ve flora türüne yaşam ortamı sunan, aynı zamanda insanların faydalandığı önemli doğal kaynak değerleridir. Son yıllarda artan antropojenik etkiler sulak alanlarda PTE kaynaklı ekolojik bozulmaya buralardan çeşitli yollarla faydalanan insanlar üzerinde sağlık risklerine neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bozulma riski analizleri yapmak için analitik metotlar ...

Introduction: Heavy metals (HMs) accumulated in the road dust may be transferred to the surrounding land and water bodies and pose ecological risks. Hence, such pollution should be considered, especially in coastal roads. This study focuses on the HMs pollution of dust settled on the surface of coastal roads along the Persian Gulf in Bandar Abbas city. Materials and Methods: In this study, ro...

This study aims to increase our current knowledge on the concentration of particulate-bound mercury (PBM) in urban environments three Iranian cities, where high concentrations dust particles can act as carriers for transport and deposition. A total 172 samples were collected from Ahvaz, Asaluyeh, Zabol residential houses outdoor air analyzed content. Ahvaz is a highly industrialized city with l...

Abstract Purpose The study aims to assess the impact of human activity on content and migration trace elements in soil profiles various physico-chemical properties. research hypothesis assumed that related functioning buildings, agriculture, industry communication negatively affected element contents properties soils a selected urban area (the Grudziądz Basin). Materials methods Seven exposures...

To assess the leakage of sanitation service in urban areas on the contamination of water streams and soil besides, a risk assessment study was conducted through the intake of edible plants from polluted irrigated suburban area of El-Zomor area, Egypt. The results revealed that concentrations of trace elements were several folds higher in the studied site compared to the background level in the ...

Abstract Discharge of untreated industrial effluents has been associated with soil contamination. Biochemical alterations in Lumbricus terrestris and remediation capacity Azadirachta indica tree from effluent discharge locations Challawa (A B) Kura village (control location C) were assessed. Levels nitrate, phosphate, iron, chloride, hardness at A B significantly ( p < 0.05) higher than thos...
