Neuro-, geno- and cytotoxicity responses in mussels Anodonta cygnea after six metals mixture treatment

(Corresponding) Butrimavičienė L.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Concerning toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence in the aquatic environment, six metals such as Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd are attributed to priority hazardous substances in many countries throughout the world (Water Framework Directive 2008/105/EC; US EPA 2009). In this study, time-dependent...Read more

Biomarkers responses in Salmo salar exposed to multicomponent metal mixtures

(Corresponding) Sauliutė G., Stankevičiūtė M., Makaras T.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Pollution of freshwater from industrial, domestic and agriculture sources is one of the major factors responsible for the decline of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Europe. Biomarkers responses (bioaccumulation, glucose content, cytogenetic and behavioral endpoints) elicited by the...Read more

Trace Metals In Water And Soils In The Vicinity Of A Small – Medium Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment Recycling Plant

(Corresponding) ZKERI E., Tzoraki O., Lasithiotakis M., Sinioros P.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

A research conducted in order to investigate the environmental impact of an e-waste recycling plant to the soil and water resources of the surrounding area. Therefore trace elements in both water and soil samples were determined with Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Heavy...Read more

Research on the ability of urban trees to retain heavy metals. A silvicultural approach.

(Corresponding) Vordoglou M., Samara T., Tsitsoni T.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

The purpose of the present research was to study the ability of urban trees’ leaves to retain heavy metals. Three major heavy traffic streets of Thessaloniki were chosen. Two tree species were studied: Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and Catalpa bignonioides Walt. and 360 leaf samples were...Read more

The comparison of sediment quality in the rivers the Eastern Slovakia by Potential ecological risk index

(Corresponding) Singovszka E., Balintova M.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

The current pollution of sedimentary environment is very serious and exceeds load capacity limit and it is influenced by other external factors such as climate, hydrodynamic conditions, pH, salinity, Eh, temperature and other. This influences can cause the heavy metals are re-released from the...Read more

Patrolea E., Nikoli T., Loupasaki S., Grigorakis S., (Corresponding) Lydakis-Simantiris N.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

The objective of this study was to investigate the accumulation of Cd, Ni and Pb and their distribution in the aboveground and underground biomass of Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L.), as well as the effect on the plant’s content and quality of essential oils. For this purpose, a pot...Read more
