Cadmium pollution in waters and commercial Shellfish in Jakarta Bay

This study aims to analyze the Cd content of commercial shellfish and their living waters. This study used survey and laboratory methods. Water and sediment samples were taken from 5 points (stations) in the Jakarta Bay waters. While shellfish samples were taken compositely from the points. Each water, sediment, and shellfish sample was taken three […]

Predictive effects (study in silico) of cadmium/fungicide cocktail on biomarkers of snail oxidative stress: Cantareus aspersus (Müller, 1774) using the forecasting grey model GM (1, N)

In this study, we were interested in the physiological and biochemical predicted effects of a copper-based fungicide (Vacomil-PLUS) (0.5, 1 and 2g/l), cadmium (200, 400, 800µg/l) and their mixtures (CdCl2 + Copper fungicide, 1/1, V/V) on bio-indicator organisms of pollution: the snail Cantareus aspersus. Our work consists in predicting the long-term effect of these xenobiotics […]

Level of concentrations of mercury and cadmium in Batissa violacea (Lamarck, 1818) collected along Cagayan River

Cagayan River is the natural habitat of the endemic B. violacea (Clam) and this is also cultured in the pond at Cagayan State University-Aparri. Clams are among the healthiest seafood; thus, it is one of the target commodities for post-harvest technology since there are only a few processing techniques employed for this particular resource. However, […]

Alterations in macro and micronutrient uptake by Jambu (Acmella oleracea (L.) R.K. Jansen) exposed to cadmium

The Jambu, an herbaceous plant widely consumed in the Amazon in typical dishes and in natura, is also found in Central America, Asia, and even in Europe. Its behavior when exposed to heavy metals is unknown and, being Cd one of the most phytotoxic metals, the objective is to elucidate how Cd influences nutrient uptake […]

The mercury and cadmium levels in the waters of the two major rivers in Cagayan De Oro City, Philippines

The Cagayan de Oro River and the Iponan River are two major rivers in the City of Cagayan de Oro—a highly urbanized city in the southern part of the Philippines. The waters of these two rivers were monitored at the downstream, midstream, and upstream portions for 8 months to establish the levels of mercury and […]

Manure-mixed biochar decreases concentration of Cadmium and arsenic in fruits of tomato grown in coal mine tailing debris-contaminated soil

Tomato is one of the major vegetable crops of the province of Balochistan, Pakistan. This province has been under extensive mining activities for decades for various minerals. Heavy metals from these activities enter into the food chain via particulate dispersion in air, water and soil while eventually getting absorbed into crops. Empirical reports suggest that […]

Toxicity and bio-accumulation of chromium, cadmium, and arsenic in some common fish species captured from fish ponds of Kandhkot Sindh, Pakistan

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk assessment of toxic elements in fish species, sediment, and its respective water samples from different fish ponds. The concentration of toxic elements including arsenic, chromium, and cadmium was determined in gills, liver, and muscle of two different fish species Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala and […]

Contaminations in metallic trace elements (Lead, cadmium) of urban and periurban market garden perimeters in the municipality of Lokossa in Benin

Faced with the challenge of global food security, the production and consumption of vegetables in urban and peri-urban areas are a nutritional asset. However, demographic pressure, poorly regulated cultivation practices and growing pollution cannot guarantee the sanitary quality of the products harvested. This study aims to evaluate the metallic contamination of the soil, irrigation water […]

A novel green spectrophotometric method for the analysis of Cadmium using Benzohydrazide chelating agent

Various methods are present for the analysis at trace level of Cadmium (Cd) metal ions. Most of the methods are time taking, tedious, toxic and sophisticated. Recently some less sensitive and less selective spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination of Cd (II) ions. We have developed a convenient, rapid, selective and sensitive method for […]

Environmental friendly spectrophotometric method for the determination of cadmium (II) using 1-nitroso-2-naphthol in micellar media

Metals play vital role in living and environmental systems. Some metals are essential and others are toxic for biological system. Manganese, iron, copper and cobalt are essential, while arsenic, lead and cadmium are toxic. Essential elements can show toxic effect, when their concentration is above certain level; so their monitoring is necessary for their role. […]
