On the fish Labeo rohita, the impact of a sublethal dose of cadmium (0.01 μg/lt) was tested on blood glucose, liver glycogen, and muscle glycogen. The first day of exposure resulted in an increase in the blood glucose level, which then steadily dropped between the seventh and fifteenth day. Their...

Due to the risk of heavy metal pollution in infant milk powder, it is significant to establish effective detection methods. Here, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) was modified with nanoporous carbon (NPC) to detect Pb(II) and Cd(II) in infant milk powder using an electrochemical method. Using NPC...

Lead and cadmium were determined in non-mineralized raw milk samples employing dispersive solid-phase extraction with magnetic restricted access carbon nanotubes (M-RACNTs), followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry analysis. M-RACNTs were obtained by modifying carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with...

Soil contamination by Cd has drawn global attention, while how irrigation waters modulate Cd sorption and mobility in soil remains obscure. We address this by investigating how cropped sandy soil irrigated with different waters altered Cd sorption and mobility using a rhizobox experiment followed...

Struvite production can recover ammonia and phosphorous from digested wastewater as fertilizer. During struvite generation, most of the heavy metals was co-precipitated with ammonia and phosphorous into struvite. Understanding the precipitation behavior of heavy metals with suspended solids (SS)...

Toxic and hazardous metals such as cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) can cause cancer in humans; hence, reducing their bioavailability in the soil is crucial for human health and environmental safety. In this study, biochar modified with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI-BC) was synthesized from low-cost...

All ecosystems are exposed to a variety of anthropogenic contaminants. The potential threat posed by these contaminants to organisms has prompted scores of toxicology studies. Contaminant concentrations in wildlife toxicology studies are inconsistently expressed in wet or dry mass units, or even on ...

Just recently, heavy metals have been dramatically detected in aquatic animals, especially in fishes; hence, documented method to assess their health risks for humans who eat these contaminated fishes could be helpful. For the sake of this aim, the health risk assessment of four heavy metals...

Toxicity of cadmium was studied in the liver of a freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis. Detrimental effects were observed in the liver cells following exposure to cadmium at acute, subacute and sublethal concentrations at both short and long term intervals which is evident by hypertrophy,...

Sexually mature Heteropneustes fossilis were exposed to cadmium at acute, lethal and sublethal concentrations at both short and long term intervals. Following exposure, cadmium disrupted reproductive function in both the sexes. Results show determental effects of cadmium in the testes as evinced by ...
