Background values, distribution and contamination of metals in the sediments of the Pontevedra Ria (NW Spain)
(Soil & Sediment Contamination, 2007)
Thirty-seven surface sediment samples were taken in the Pontevedra Ria (NW Iberian Peninsula), and metal concentrations (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn) and organic/inorganic parameters were determined in order to ...
Metal-Resistant Rhizobacteria Change Soluble-Exchangeable Fraction in Multi-Metal-Contaminated Soil Samples
(Soc Brasileira De Ciencia Do Solo, 2018-01-01)
There is a complex interaction between various components of the soil ecosystem, including microbial biomass and soil chemical contaminants such as heavy metals and radionuclides, which may greatly affect the efficiency ...
Contamination index. A novel parameter for metal and pesticide analyses in maternal blood and umbilical cord
(2016-07-01)
PURPOSE: To evaluate the contamination index of metals and pesticides in pregnant women, and to relate this to perinatal outcomes. METHODS: Descriptive, retrospective, exploratory study, developed from existing secondary ...
Impacts of Metals and Metalloids on Soil Microbial Diversity and Ecosystem Function
(Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2008)
Effect of co-contamination by pahs and heavy metals on bacterial communities of diesel contaminated soils of south shetland islands, antarctica
(MDPI AG, 2020-11)
Diesel oil is the main source of energy used in Antarctica. Since diesel is composed of toxic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals, it represents a constant threat to the organisms ...
Diversity and Distribution of Heavy Metal-Resistant Bacteria in Polluted Sediments of the Araça Bay, São Sebastião (SP), and the Relationship Between Heavy Metals and Organic Matter Concentrations
(2016-10-01)
Heavy metals influence the population size, diversity, and metabolic activity of bacteria. In turn, bacteria can develop heavy metal resistance mechanisms, and this can be used in bioremediation of contaminated areas. The ...
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated with Metals: Current Outlook and Prospects of use of Forest Species
(Brazilian Chemical Soc, 2019-01-01)
Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to recover contaminated soils. This method has advantages because of its permanent nature, combined with low maintenance costs, protection against wind and water erosion and ...
