Mineral elements (Ca, Na, K, Mg, Zn, Ti, Sr, Fe, Ni, Ba, Cr, Mn, Cu, Se, Cd, Mo, B, V, As, Pb and Hg) in Provola cheeses obtained from dairy cows fed with two different integrated diets (Biotrak) and without olive cake (Control) were determined to discriminate between the two different cheeses. The ...

To determine the LC ₅₀ value of lead nitrate, Labeo rohita were exposed to different concentrations of the heavy metal through static assay method. LC₅₀ value was calculated by employing Probit analysis and its acute toxicity was found to be 851 mg/L. The acute toxic effect of lead nitrate on serum ...

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...

Soil heavy metal contamination was a global environmental issue that posed adverse impacts on ecological and human health risks. The controlling of soil heavy metal is mainly focused on the emission source and pipe-end treatment, less is known about the intermediate controlling process. The...

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...

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)...

Lead (Pb) is heterogeneously distributed in the environment and multiple sources like Pb ammunition and fossil fuel combustion can increase the risk of exposure in wildlife. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Sweden have higher blood Pb levels compared to bears from other populations, but the sources...

Magnetic Adsorption Separation (MAS) method is an ideal substitute for the environmental clean-up process. Magnetic material embedded with natural litter material is a facile route to achieve maximum adsorptive ability at a lower dosage, contact time and increased chance of metal-laden adsorbents'...

The development of a facile analytical way for detecting toxic heavy metal ions is highly desirable due to their serious toxicity to human health. In this work, amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂-NH₂) were prepared by hydrothermal and sol-gel method for electrochemical...

Heavy metals are one of the components of smog, which is mainly the product of burning fossil fuels in residential buildings. These elements, introduced into the body of cattle by inhalation, may enter the milk. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of particulate pollution in the...
