Mercury in Eisenia fetida and soil in the vicinity of a natural gas treatment plant in northern Croatia during the last ten years
(Corresponding) Prevendar Crnić A., Zgorelec Ž., Srebočan E., Kisić I.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study total mercury concentrations in earthworms and in different soil types at the same locations from the surroundings of four boreholes were analyzed by ICP-MS method, as a part of a comprehensive monitoring of the eco-system in the vicinity of the natural gas production and treatment...Read more

Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water
Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more
Coupling Pb and Zn bioaccessibility with sequential and HNO3 extraction in soil from the industrial area of Volos, Greece
(Corresponding) Kelepertzis E., Botsou F., Sungur A., Sigala E., Daferera O., Kypritidou Z., CHRASTNÝ V., Argyraki A., Komarek M., Skordas K.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The urban environment is a complicated system where various anthropogenic sources contribute to the accumulation of metals in soil, leading to potential negative environmental effects. Within this context, we performed single and sequential extractions in contaminated soil from the industrial area...Read more
Chromium VI bioremediation from Tannery Effluent and contaminated soil using Tamarindus indica leaves extract-immobilized nanoparticles
(Corresponding) Babangida S., Aliyu M., Abdullahi S.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The potential for application of bioreduction of Cr(VI) as an alternative to chemical remediation strategy has been highlighted in several works of literature. The objective of the study was to determine Cr(VI) reduction capacity of nanoparticles-encapsulated Tamarindus indica methanolic leaves...Read more
