Investigation of Bioaccumulation Capacity of Barley for Soil Lead and Chromium under Drought Stress Conditions [PDF]
Introduction: The use of sewage sludge, which is mixed locally with poultry waste and is available at a relatively low cost, improves the circulation of nutrients and organic matter in the soil, reduces the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and ...

Estimating the Effect of pH, Moisture and Heavy Metals Interaction on Worm’s Bioaccumulation Using a Linear Model [PDF]
In the process of vermicomposting, the earthworms Eisenia fetida have been exposed to various metals with different concentrations to study the effects on worms’ bioaccumulation. The study was carried within 14 days of exposure.

Eutrophication likely prompts metal bioaccumulation in edible clams
Coastal eutrophication is an indisputable reality and becoming a worldwide concern. However, whether and how eutrophication affects metal bioaccumulation in marine bivalves have not yet been elucidated. Here, we present the potential influence of coastal

Metal Accumulation by Jatropha curcas L. Adult Plants Grown on Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil [PDF]
Jatropha curcas has the ability to phytoextract high amounts of heavy metals during its first months just after seeding. Notwithstanding, there is scarce information about metal uptake by adult J. curcas plants. To shed light on this issue, 4-year-old J.

Bioaccumulation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers by Tubifex tubifex
Selective uptake of PBDEs by oligochaete allows the assessment of the bioaccumulation of individual congeners in commercial mixtures. 21 congeners from three BDE commercial mixtures (TBDE-71, TBDE-79 and TBDE-83R) and as individual congeners (BDE-77, BDE-
