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

Tissue-specific TfR expression in organs of immature mice after chronic exposure to CoCl2
Gluhcheva Y., Petrova E., (Corresponding) Pavlova E., Tinkov A., AJSUVAKOVA O., Rashev P., Vladov I., Skalny A.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The wide use of cobalt (Co) due to anthropogenic and industrial activities has increased its concentration in the environment in the last years. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) is the most commonly used agent in experimental models for inducing chemical hypoxia. The present study was designed to elucidate...Read more

Cobalt and Phosphorous Recovery from Semiconductor Wastewater through Homogeneous Crystallization of Cobalt Phosphate in a Fluidized-bed Reactor
Bayon L., Ballesteros Jr. F., Segura-Garcia S., (Corresponding) Lu M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Semiconductor manufacturing involves distinct processes that generate complex wastewater streams that require treatment before it proceeds to the main wastewater effluents. The present study utilized fluidized-bed crystallization to recover resources from the combined synthetic wastewater of...Read more
Comparative effects of salinomycin and meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) on lead induced impairment of reproductive function in male mice
(Corresponding) Pavlova E., Kamenova K., Gluhcheva Y., Petrova E., Ivanova J., Atanassova N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Lead (Pb) directly targets testicular spermatogenesis and also the sperms in the epididymis inducing reproductive toxicity. In our study we compare the effects of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and tetraethylammonium salt of salinomycinic acid on Pb content and the endogenous levels of...Read more
Sources and transfer of Cu, Hg and Pb into marine food webs using innovative tracers (metal stable isotopes, trophic markers): results of a pilot study in a French coastal area
(Corresponding) Chouvelon T., Araujo D., Bouchoucha M., Briant N., Bruzac S., Crochet S., Knoery J., Ponzevera E., Rozuel E., Sireau T., Thomas B., Amouroux D., Bérail S., Brach-Papa C.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Copper (Cu), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) are elements and contaminants of historical and emerging concerns in coastal environments. Although Cu is considered essential for living organisms, it is bioactive in a narrow range of optimal concentrations. Hg and Pb have no known biological role and are...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
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

Effect of heavy metals accumulation on the growth and essential oils content of Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L.)
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

Mobilisation of Arsenic in groundwater, Lesvos Island, Greece
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., ALOUPI M., GAGANIS P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In the present study, a geochemical analysis was conducted to investigate the As occurrence and release in groundwater from two different geological environments on Lesvos island: (i) the volcanic area of Mandamados (ignimbrite) and (ii) the metamorphic area of Tarti that comprises the geologic...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
