Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrace Elements in Fertilizers Used in PeruVíctor Gómez, Mauricio Molina-Roco, Elder Chichipe, Eli Morales RojasFertilizers provide essential nutrients for crops, however, they may also inadvertently provide trace elements that in certain concentrations represent a risk to the soil and the food chain. The objective of this research was to determine the concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn in the most common fertilizers used in Peruvian agriculture. Twenty-one products including inorganic, organic mineral, and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2023 · 6,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSESSING SOIL RESPIRATION AS AN INDICATOR OF SOIL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN RECLAIMED METAL CONTAMINATED LANDSKassandre Goupil, Kabwe NkongoloMining, roasting as well as smelting of these elements have caused sulphur dioxide fumigations and metal particulate depositions which have led to various detrimental effects on the overall environmental quality of the Greater Sudbury region. Soil amendment and revegetation within the Greater Sudbury Region were initiated to restore the damage land. Several methods have been used to assess the progress … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2014 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infecting Bacteriophages from Swiftlet House Pond Water and Sewage in South Kalimantan, IndonesiaSiti Gusti Ningrum, Dyah Widhowati, Titin Yulinery et al.Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that may occur in animal-production environments and contribute to microbial contamination of animal-derived products. However, information on P. aeruginosa-infecting bacteriophages in artificial swiftlet-house environments remains limited. This study aimed to isolate and evaluate P. aeruginosa-infecting bacteriophages from the swiftlet-house environment in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 75 samples involving pond waters (n = … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 55 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Heavy Metals in Gadus morhua and the Associated Cancer RisksKayode Idowu Ogungbemi, Margaret Bose Adedokun, Josephine Nneamaka Onyeka-UbakaGadus morhua is a good protein source but some methods of its preservation can be a source of heavy metals contamination. Gadus morhua samples were collected from nine major markets for the identification and quantification of heavy metals. An Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) from an analytical and consultancy laboratory in the Department of Soil Resources Management, University of Ibadan was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2025 · 5,022 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContamination, Spoilage and Safety of Fisheries and Aquaculture Products By Pseudomonas sppAlejandro De Jesús Cortés-Sánchez, Mayra Diaz-Ramírez et al.Food safety is the guarantee that it will not cause harm to the health of those who consume it and is considered an important element of its quality.
