Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicology of Nanomaterials on ZebrafishJimmy De León, María del C. Cotto, Francisco MárquezIncreases in the use and the progressive manufacture of new Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) lead to inquire about their impact on the environment. Due to the small size, high reactivity inside organisms and the unusual physicochemical properties of the ENMs, the predictions of toxicity are very complex. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been granted as a practical alternative to study the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2019 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorption Extraction of Noble and Non-Ferrous Metals from Process Leaching SolutionsBagdaulet Kenzhalyevich Kenzhaliyev, Renata Ramilevna Iskhakova, Zamzagul Duisenovna DosymbayevaIn view of the annual increase in ore processing output for low grade or refractory gold-bearing ores, as well as recoverable raw materials, stricter requirements for completeness of gold extraction and environmental safety, the interest is rising in possible alternatives to substitute the cyanide process used in gold mining practice. One of such alternatives is to convert metals into solutions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 18 Nov 2015 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures of Microelement Composition of Ordinary Chernozems of the Azov and Lower Don RegionsTatiana M. Minkina, Nikolay N. Miroshnichenko, Aleksandr I. Fateev et al.Ordinary chernozems in the Azov Plain have a low background content of mobile zinc compounds, a sufficient supply with copper and an increased content of lead compounds. This specificity of the regional microelement composition is due to the high carbonate content in the soil profiles, the natural enrichment of littoral geochemical landscapes and the effect of the significant sources of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2015 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES ON NEUROBLASTOMA SH-SY5Y CELLSJinghui Zheng, Theresia Schnurr, Kriya Dunlap et al.The Arctic and sub-arctic regions are impacted by the growth of the global nanotechnology industry and the transport of chemicals to the North. New nanotechnology industries, such as neural prothesis, are bringing nanomaterials in direct contact with neurons and glial cells. Nanomaterials have unique chemical and physical properties that may lead to toxicological effects by interfering with normal cellular metabolism. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2014 · 8,488 accessesView PDFCite
