Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThreat of the Health Quality of Garden Produces Linked to Pollution by Toxic Metals on Some Gardening Sites of BeninKoumolou Luc, Edorh A. Patrick, Agbandji Lucien et al.Problem statement: Water and soil are vital resources used in agriculture. Current data establish a link between the pollution of soil, water and public health. For this reason, this study attempted to establish a link between the level of pollution of garden sites in lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As) and the health quality of vegetables grown there, through … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,664 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Bioaccumulation of Metals in Crassostrea virginica from Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Elijah Johnson, Larry RobinsonKinetics of bioaccumulation of the trace metals (Cd and Zn) by C. virginica were investigated in this study. A computer program, Oyster Bioaccumulation Model (OBM), was developed to simulate the accumulation of the metals from both dissolved (water column) and particulate (food) phases by C. virginica. The model is based on two main attributes: (1) the oyster biological characteristics such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,474 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMechanism 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Effect of Humic Acid on the Content of Trace Element in MitochondriaDaniel Žatko, Janka Vašková, Ladislav Vaško, Peter PatlevičBased on our previous in vitro studies which pointed to the antioxidant properties of humic acids especially concerning radical scavenging activities and ability to maintain the redox system in the cell, an addition of 0.6% humic acid into the diet of farm chicken for 42 days was evaluated. The administration of humic acids have a positive effect on the antioxidant … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2015 · 7,984 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,277 accessesView PDF Cite
