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 · 8,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMetals in Sediment Cores from Nine Coastal Lagoons in Central VietnamStefania Romano, Cristian Mugnai, Silvia Giuliani et al.Problem statement: After being dramatically hit by war events, Vietnam is presently experiencing a huge economical and social development. However, very few data, relative to pollution levels and trends, are available for the correct management of critical areas such as coastal lagoons, where many economical activities are linked to high value environmental features. Approach: A set of sediment cores from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 8,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotentiometric Biosensor for Highly Toxic Pb (lead) and Cd (cadmium) Detection in Milk Using Layer-by-Layer ImmobilizationZhainagul Kakimova, Klara Zharykbasova, Aitbek Kakimov et al.Milk contamination with heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) poses a serious threat to public health, particularly in industrial regions. To address the need for rapid and on-site detection of these contaminants, a potentiometric biosensor was developed for the quantification of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions in milk and dairy products. The biosensor functions by measuring the change … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2026 · 1,484 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 · 5,032 accessesView PDFCite
