Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Trace and Other Selected Metals in Mixed Teff Grain SamplesAbraha Gebregewergis WeldehawariaTeff (Eragrostis tef (Zuccagni)) is a hugely important crop to Ethiopia both in terms of production and consumption. In terms of production, teff is the dominant cereal by area coverage and second only to maize in production and consumption. The principal use of teff grain for human food in Ethiopia is in the form of Injera, a soft porous thin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2022 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Lactoferrin against Chromium Induced Adverse Renal Changes in Rats: Oxidative Stress TheoryMohammed H. Hassan, Dorreia Abd-Alla Mohamed Zaghloul, Marwa Ahmed Mahmoud et al.Among the toxic metals, chromium (Cr) which is a naturally occurring heavy metal commonly enters the environment through the effluents from various industries. Kidney disease is often cited as an adverse effect of chromium. We aimed to assess chromium-induced pathophysiological adverse renal damage and determine the potential protective effects of co-therapy with Lactoferrin (LF) in male albino rats. Forty male … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 28 Apr 2021 · 6,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir Quality Measurement at the Solid Waste Disposal of Matuail Landfill Site at Dhaka, BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, ASM Maksud Kamal, Abdul Halim Farhad Sikder, Zakia ParveenAn investigation was conducted to assess the air quality impact and possible health risk of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site in Dhaka city. Three different locations were selected for soil and plant samples. Leachate samples were collected from active dumping area and fish samples from treated leachate pond. Seven different locations were selected for air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2019 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction and Remediation of Water Quality in Monitoring Potential of Acid Mine DrainageNur Athirah Mohamad Basir, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Nuur Hani Mohammed et al.Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) associated with both active and abandoned mining operations related to sulfide minerals, oxidation of pyrite affording an acidic solution that contains toxic metal ions. Result shows that pH value of water in Kg. Aur, Chini and Sg. Lembing are acidic with value of 2.81, 4.16 and 3.60 respectively. Maximum concentrations of heavy metals in the study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 24 May 2019 · 7,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heavy Metals on the Enzymatic Activity of Haplic Chernozem under Model Experimental ConditionsNatalia Gromakova, Saglara Mandzhieva, Tatiana Minkina et al.The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2017 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Fish in Saudi ArabiaOthman M. HakamiHeavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead constitute a serious threat to human health. Generally, regular consumption of fish is recommended because it is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with health benefits. However, flesh of some fish species contains heavy metals in high concentration, which may pose health risk for individuals that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 3 Dec 2016 · 8,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Resistance Evaluation of Dry Subtropics Brown Soils to Heavy Metal and Oil Contamination by Biological IndicatorsSergey Ilyich Kolesnikov, Natalya Aleksandrovna Petrova, Kamil Shagidullovich Kazeev et al.Contamination of brown calcareous soils with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil leads to deterioration of their biological properties. There is a reduction in activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, an abundance of Azotobacter genus bacteria, cellulolytic activity and the length of radish roots. As a rule, there is a direct relationship between the content of contaminant in the soil and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2016 · 7,883 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Genotoxic Impurities Profiling During WFI Qualification to Control Carcinogenesis in Large Volume ParenteralsMohabbat UllahWater For Injections (WFI) which is the main vehicle of Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs) should be free from trace amount of genotoxic impurities.
