The ability of Nitella to distinguish electrically between Na(+) and K(+) (potassium effect) appears to depend on several organic substances (or groups of substances). Of these R(MK) and R(SK) determine the mobility and partition coefficient (S) respectively of K(+) while R(MNa) and R(SNa) do the same for Na(+). These substances can vary independently and this variation is susceptible to experi...

The loss of organic substances from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) radicles is enhanced by chilling, low pH, or anaerobic conditions. Solute loss returns to a low level when the stimulus is removed, indicating no permanent injury to membranes. Loss of solute induced by chilling or anaerobiosis is reversed or prevented by calcium or magnesium. These cations did not reduce the solute loss resulti...

Introduction Due to increased awareness of the toxicity of organic substances, government organization, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), have continually decreased the permissible exposure limits of many organic substances. For example, in the last ten years, the permissible exposure limit for...

The use of disinfectants is intensive and widespread during the pandemic. Disinfectants are mixed with various organic wastewater substances, also resuspend from soil surface rainy season, which eventually discharged into river waters. This study aimed to assess potential alcohol in detoxifying wastes containing substances so as secure their disposal water bodies. Preparation substance solution...
