Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation and Adsorption of Heavy Industry Emitted from Cement Industry through Plant Leaves, Case Study: Golestan Peivand Cement FactorySoleyman Ghorbanzadeh, Meysam Madadi, Sara Abdollahi, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariCement factories are found to be one of the major causes of pollution. Cement mist and dusts depositions affect the photosynthesis, secretion and fertility of the plant. Increasing the concentration of airborne dust reduces photosynthetic potential in leaves, closes leaf stomatals and, in general, reduces the growth and fertility of plants. The purpose of this study is to determine the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2020 · 6,443 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Synopsis of Environmental Heavy Metal PollutionAnyiam N. Donald, Pene B. Raphael et al.Heavy metal pollution continues to be a serious problem in the environment due to uncontrolled pesticide use, mining, foundry operations, smelting, fossil fuel burning and sewage sludge dumping. Mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, copper and other heavy metals are non-biodegradable and remain in the environment in regions where human activity is prevalent. Heavy metal contamination is a serious hazard to all … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2022 · 8,328 accessesView PDF Cite
