Biosorption of Heavy Metals

Biotechnology Progress, 1995
AbstractOnly within the past decade has the potential of metal biosorption by biomass materials been well established. For economic reasons, of particular interest are abundant biomass types generated as a waste byproduct of large‐scale industrial fermentations or certain metal‐binding algae found in large quantities in the sea.

Biosensors for heavy metals

BioMetals, 2005
A biosensor is an analytical device that consists of an immobilized biocomponent in conjunction with a transducer, and represents a synergistic combination of biotechnology and microelectronics. This review summarizes the use of biosensors for detecting and quantifying heavy metal ions.

Molecular mechanism of heavy metals (Lead, Chromium, Arsenic, Mercury, Nickel and Cadmium) - induced hepatotoxicity - A review.

Chemosphere, 2021
Heavy metals pose a serious threat if they go beyond permissible limits in our bodies. Much heavy metal's viz. Lead, Chromium, Arsenic, Mercury, Nickel, and Cadmium pose a serious threat when they go beyond permissible limits and cause hepatotoxicity ...

HEAVY METALS AND FERTILITY

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 1998
Heavy metals have been identified as factors affecting human fertility. This study was designed to investigate whether the urinary heavy metal excretion is associated with different factors of infertility. The urinary heavy metal excretion was determined in 501 infertile women after oral administration of the chelating agent 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1 ...

A spatial distribution - Principal component analysis (SD-PCA) model to assess pollution of heavy metals in soil.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
With the rapid development of urbanization, heavy metal pollution of soil has received great attention. Over-enrichment of heavy metals in soil may endanger human health.

Microplastics as a vehicle of heavy metals in aquatic environments: A review of adsorption factors, mechanisms, and biological effects.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) have recently attracted much attention due to their widespread distribution in the aquatic environment. Microplastics can act as a vector of heavy metals in the aquatic environment, causing a potential threat to aquatic organisms and ...

Heavy metal toxicities

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1974
Several reviews have been published recently on the toxicity of heavy metals, but few of these have made any reference to the influence of the nutritional state of animals upon their tolerance of heavy metals. Furthermore, the clinical and metabolic changes occurring as a consequence of increased dietary intake of heavy metals are extremely dependent ...

Mutagenicity of heavy metals

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1988
Certain heavy metals are required, as trace elements for normal cellular functions. However, heavy metals are toxic to cells once their levels exceed their low physiological values. The toxicity of heavy metals on microorganisms, on plants and on animals has been well-documented.
