concentrations of zn, cu, cr, cd, pb and fe in surface marine sediments of the southern coast of sfax were studied in order to understand current metal contamination at the outlet of a mixed industrial and domestic wastewater effluent discharged into the seawater since 1953. we found that heavy metal concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) in surface marine sediments varied from 42 to 391 for zn, 15 ...

the effects of industrial textile water(effluent water,ew) on soil, water and plant was investigated in this research. for conducting this research major important textile factory were selected and sampling was done in 2 stages and in 2 years. in each district and the control field (soil not irrigation with effluent water) the soils from 0-30 cm depth and plants were sampled in three replicates...

The expression of the heavy-metal-binding proteins, metallothioneins (MTs), are induced by heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, Zn, and Hg. MTs attenuate toxic heavy metals by sequestering them and decreasing their intracellular concentrations. However, Cr(VI) inhibits MT gene transcription in higher eukaryotes. In this study, we found that Cr affect Tetrahymena thermophila proliferation, and the letha...

Levels of the heavy metals Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Iron (Fe) and Manganese (Mn) were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Model 67OG) in coastal water, sediments and soft tissues of the Saccostrea cucullata, from the intertidal zone at five stations in the Gulf of Chabahar on the Iranian coasts along the Oman Se...

The influence of Cu supplementation of the usual diet for 6 weeks on biochemical markers of bone turnover and on putative indices of Cu status was investigated in healthy adults (twelve male and twelve female) aged 22-46 years, who participated in a double-blind placebo-controlled repeated crossover study. The study consisted of three 6-week supplementation regimens of 3 mg CuSO4, 3 mg Cu-glyci...

The present study the selected heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn) and cooper (Cu) were determined in water, sediment and gill, liver, muscle of fish H. fossilis, the concentration of Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu Mn and Zn was observed 0.009, 0.056, 0.056, 0.058, 0.049, 0.883, 0.36 mg/l in river water and 3.38, 20.11, 81.53, 258.48, 258.48, 3.40 μg/g in sediment respec...
