Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVermicompost Incorporation into Soil Contaminated with Deltamethrin as an Attempt to Reduce the Toxicity Caused by this Pyrethroid: A Structural Study of SoilFernanda Benetti, Lívia B.F. Pigatin, Michelle M. Kanashiro et al.The use of vermicompost for remediating soil contaminated with the commercial formulation containing deltamethrin was proposed. Biotoxicity tests with the goal of evaluating the potential remediation degree of the vermicompost after its addition to contaminated soils were performed. The tests lasted 56 days and involved Eisenia foetida earthworms. Possible structural changes in humic acids from these soils were evaluated by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2017 · 7,165 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals Content and Ecotoxicity of Sediments from the Congo RiverDidier Makonko Mabidi, Honoré Manyingu Mutwejile, Georgette Ngakiama Beni Ngweme et al.This research aimed to quantify the contamination of Congo River sediments by heavy metals and to evaluate their ecotoxicological effects in the municipalities of Maluku, Gombe, and Kinsuka, Kinshasa Province. Metal concentrations in sediments reached 340 mg kg-1 for Cr, 310 mg kg-1 for Cu, 826 mg kg-1 for Zn, 63 mg kg-1 for as, 1.9 mg kg-1 for Cd, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Nov 2024 · 6,046 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metals Co-Toxicity in Hard Body Structures of Liza klunzingeri (Mugilidae: Perciformes) Mullet FishA.H. Bu-Olayan, B.V. Thomas, S.M.H. Al-HusainiThe possibility of inorganic pollutants causing stress to the marine ecosystem instigated us to conduct eco-toxicological tests on the predominant trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and V) in commercial important fish. Among the four metals, V had the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC: LC15) at 6.3 µg L-1. Toxicity tests (96 h) using Multi factor Probit analysis revealed V (6.3 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,514 accessesView PDF Cite
