Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation and Adsorption of Heavy Industry Emitted from Cement Industry through Plant Leaves, Case Study: Golestan Peivand Cement FactorySoleyman Ghorbanzadeh, Meysam Madadi, Sara Abdollahi, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariCement factories are found to be one of the major causes of pollution. Cement mist and dusts depositions affect the photosynthesis, secretion and fertility of the plant. Increasing the concentration of airborne dust reduces photosynthetic potential in leaves, closes leaf stomatals and, in general, reduces the growth and fertility of plants. The purpose of this study is to determine the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2020 · 6,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNON-CANCER HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT FROM EXPOSURE TO HEAVY METALS IN SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER IN IGUN IJESHA, SOUTHWEST NIGERIAO. O. Ayantobo, J. A. Awomeso, G. O. Oluwasanya et al.Non-cancer hazard index for inhabitants exposed to heavy metals in surface and groundwater of the abandoned metal mine in Igun-Ijesha area were evaluated. A total of thirty-eight water samples were collected from surface and ground water sources in the study area between September 2012 and February 2013 and the concentrations of heavy metals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Non-cancer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 10 May 2014 · 8,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environment and Public Health Risk Due to Contamination of Heavy Metals from Industrial Waste Water in Lam Thao, Phu Tho, VietnamNguyen Cong Vinh, Ingrid Oborn, Pham Quang Ha et al.Problem statement: In Vietnam, rice cultivation plays an important role in national economic development and food security. However, rice production is facing many problems associated with rapid industrialization and urbanization in the country. Resultant emissions of solid and liquid wastes are often untreated and discharged directly to agricultural land. These practices have potential impacts on the environment and human health. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLimnological Studies on the Wetland Lake, Al-Asfar, with Special References to Heavy Metal Accumulation by FishGehan H. Fahmy, Adel A. FathiProblem statement: Al-Asfar Lake is one from the important shallow wetland lakes. It is located on the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, Al-Hassa Province. However, much of their limnology and its biotic information are still unknown to the scientific community. The study aims to follow variations in physico-chemical characteristics, phytoplankton and to determine the sort of pollutants such as heavy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2011 · 9,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Study of Electric Arc Furnace Slag for the Removal of Manganese from SolutionC. L. Beh, Luqman Chuah, Thomas S.Y. Choong et al.Problem statement: Steel making slag from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is an abundant by-product in Malaysia steel making industry. It has potential to be used for heavy metal removal from contaminated water or waste water. Approach: The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic and behavior of manganese removal by using EAF slag for efficient metal removal. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery of Lead(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zea mays Tassel BiosorptionCaliphs M. Zvinowanda, Jonathan O. Okonkwo, Nana M. Agyei et al.Problem statement: Major adsorbent materials used in heavy metal ion removal from polluted aqueous streams are expensive and difficult to regenerate. In this study, the possibility of using Zea mays tassel, as an alternative low cost biosorbent material to remediate heavy metal pollution was investigated. Lead (II) was used because of its wide application in industrial products and well documented … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Pb(II) on Spent Leaves of Green and Black TeaAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaProblem statement: In recent years much attention has been focused on the use of biomass residues as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. Spent tea leaves, an abundantly available material that is currently disposed of as a solid waste, are potentially suitable for such applications. Approach: To provide some information on the adsorption properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,596 accessesView PDFCite
