Effect of heavy metal stress in plant metabolism of solanaceous plant species with emphasis on nitrogen assimilation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Several plant species are able to accumulate and withstand large quantities of heavy metals in their tissues without dramatic alterations in their growth usually observed in plants. Such metal accumulating plants are tested and used for remediation of

Toxic Effects of Heavy Metals on Bone Tissue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Heavy metals are commonly found in nature. Environmental and occupational exposure to heavy metals may lead to toxic effects in various organ systems. Acute and chronic exposures to heavy metals cause various clinical signs.

RISK EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT OF SOME PESTICIDE RESIDUES DETECTED IN FRUIT AND VEGETABLES COLLECTED FROM DIFFERENT EGYPTIAN LOCAL MARKETS DURING 2008 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2012
A total of 530 samples of different types of the fruits and vegetables collected from nine Egyptian local markets located in nine governorates throughout 2008. All samples were examined for residues of 80 pesticides. Overall, results showed that 84.5% of

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Heavy metal content of vegetables irrigated with mixtures of wastewater and sewage sludge in Zimbabwe: Implications for human health

open access: yes, 2005
There is growing public concern in Zimbabwe over the illegal cultivation of vegetables on soils amended with sewage sludge or irrigated with admixtures of sewage and sewage sludge. Excessive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils may not only

Innovative Processing of Compacted Waste Aluminum Alloy Powders via Controlled Remelting and Solidification

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an efficient recycling route for out‐of‐spec AlSi10Mg atomized powders through compaction and arc remelting followed by suction casting. By correlating compaction load, cooling rate, and resulting microstructure, we show that intermediate pressures (50–80 kN) and rapid cooling refine dendrites, reduce porosity, and enhance ...

Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils: A Review of Sources, Chemistry, Risks and Best Available Strategies for Remediation

open access: yes, 2011
Scattered literature is harnessed to critically review the possible sources, chemistry, potential biohazards and best available remedial strategies for a number of heavy metals (lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, mercury and nickel) commonly

Heavy metals and soil microbes

open access: yes, 2009
The discovery in the early 1980s that soil microorganisms, and in particular the symbiotic bacteria Rhizobium, were highly sensitive to heavy metals initiated a new line of research.

Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals Spiked Soil by Polyscias fruticose [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study was to assess the phytoremediation potential of Polyscias fruticose in the removal of heavy metals from spiked soil. P. fruticose cuttings were transplanted then grown on 2.00 kg soil spiked with several heavy metals in polyethylene bags.
