Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological and Structural Reaction of Avena sativa Seedlings to the Effects of Nano and Microparticles of ZincArailym Serikbai, Aidar Aitkulov, Anna Stanco et al.Kazakhstan has a well-developed mining and metallurgical industry, which produces macroand nanoparticles of heavy metals, including zinc emitted to the environment. The nanoscale particles have a different biological activity, which requires some additional research. The effects of various concentrations of zinc macroparticles and nanoparticles on the anatomical structure of oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.) and their accumulation in vegetative organs … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 9 Jul 2024 · 4,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Quality in Small-Scale Coffee Production Units, Amazonas, PeruEli Morales Rojas, Segundo Chávez Quintana, Magali García et al.The objective of this research was to determine water quality in small-scale coffee production units in the Amazon Region, Peru. The characterization of the factors associated with coffee farmers was collected through surveys. The Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA) method was used to determine the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of the incoming water (AE) (water … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2022 · 6,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing of Copper (II) Adsorption Efficiency by Mixing Plantain and Orange Peelings as Bio-Sorbent SupportSamomssa Inna, Ebelle Epoi Charlotte Alvine, Adjia Zangue Henriette, Sieliechi JosephThe present study focuses on the valorization of plantain and orange peels in the field of water treatment contaminated by heavy metals, especially copper (II). To carry out this study, simplex centroid mixture design was used to determine best mixture from plantain and orange peelings through iodine number, specific surface area and point of zero charge. The influence of contact … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Oct 2020 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochar Types from Latrine Waste and Sewage Sludge Differ in Physico-Chemical Properties and Cadmium AdsorptionKoetlisi Andreas Koetlisi, Pardon MuchaonyerwaPyrolysis of latrine fecal waste could produce valuable products for minimizing environmental contamination with heavy metals. The objective of this study was to determine yields, characteristics and cadmium (Cd) sorption of biochar from latrine fecal waste and sewage sludge, as affected by pyrolysis temperature. Slow pyrolysis at 350, 550 and 650°C, was used to produce the biochar. In addition to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2017 · 8,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Phytotoxicity Induced Changes in Biochemical Markers in Germination and Seedlings in Durum Wheat Triticum durum Desf. Cv.Vitron and GtaSoraya Slimani, Mokhtar Boudelaa, Saddek Abdelmadjid et al.Among the heavy metals most commonly found on land, lead is a strongly represented pollutant in soil and sediments. It is easily absorbed and accumulated in different parts of plants. On the macroscopic scale, lead causes unfavorable effects on plants. First and in the event of excess, it may exert toxicity affecting several stages of germination development in leaf formation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEucalyptus Gomphocephala: Morphological Characterization and Seed Germination under Influence of Contaminated SoilOuled Seghaier Wided, Abbes Chaabane, Hasnaoui BrahimTo study the impact of soil pollution on plant growth, our work focused on soil polluted by heavy metals. This soil was taken from the municipal landfill of Jendouba (North of Tunisia). We have undertaken to study the morphological behavior of a forest specie “Eucalyptus gomphocephala”. Two treatments are chosen (substrate containing 100% and 50% of soil taken from municipal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,499 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOCCURRENCE OF ARSENIC, LEAD, THALLIUM AND BERYLLIUM IN GROUNDWATERAbdul A.J. Mohamed, Ibrahim Abdul Rahman, Sadri A. Said, Lee H. LimThe occurrence of carcinogenic and heavy metals in groundwater sources in Urban-west region of Zanzibar Island is an issue that is not very well known. This could be also coupled with the absence of drinking water treatment plants. This study for the first time reports on the occurrence and the levels of three carcinogenic metals-Arsenic (As), Beryllium (Be) and lead … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2014 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
