this research compares the performance of floating systems planted with vetiveria zizanioides as a hydroponic approach for removing nutrients from two contaminated waters. for this purpose, two pilots with overall net volume of 60 litres were constructed and inoculated by secondary treated domestic wastewater (stdw) and irrigation water obtained from minab reservoir (iwmr) in batch mode. regard...

Heavy metals have the properties of biological accumulation, toxicity and environmental stability, hence consumption of drinking water containing heavy metals can jeopardize human health. One of these heavy metals is cadmium that its long-term exposure causes kidney diseases, osteoporosis, cancer and cardiovascular disease. In this cross-sectional study which was conducted in Minab, 100 samples...

the prevalence of various intestinal helminthiasis have been determined by the examination of 8109 inhabitants of 20 villages located in the mountainous and coastal regions of the bandar abbas and minab areas in southern iran. a portion of people infected with each parasite were treated with the appropriate drug i and the worms expelled were collected, identified and counted. the results indica...

This study was conducted to determine Pb (Pb) and Cd (Cd) concentrations in the liver and muscle of Platycephalus indicus (flathead) in Minab, Qeshm Island and Khamir Port in the Northeastern Persian Gulf. Moreover, the influences of season (winter and summer) and target tissue (liver and muscle) on the Pb and Cd concentrations in flathead were investigated and compared with FAO/WHO standards f...
