Oral bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in urban dusts of Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria [PDF]

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2014
A literature survey has shown that no study has investigated the oral bioaccessibility of PTEs in Nigeria dusts. Studies on human health risk of PTEs from urban Nigeria dust have been based only on total elemental concentrations. Whilst this protocol is

Potential for the Accumulation of PTEs in the Biomass of Melilotus albus Med. Used for Biomethane Production [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2023
In this paper, a possible use of white sweet clover (Melilotus albus Med.) for phytoremediation was assessed. The plants were grown on soils with naturally occurring concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs).
