In this study, we investigated the possible role of hemin in alleviating zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and
chromium (Cr) toxicity in rice seedlings grown hydroponically by analyzing the …

The level of environmental contamination can vary according to different types of land use.
The aim of the present study was to determine the relations among Cd, Pb, Ni and Cr …

Heavy metals' amassment in the soil environment is a threat to crop and agricultural
sustainability and consequentially the global food security. For achieving enhancement of …

By examining plant responses to heavy metal stress during the early stages of the life cycle,
we can predict their tolerance and survival in polluted areas as well as their potential for …

Heavy metals pollution represents a serious issue for cultivable lands and ultimately

Effective and efficient assessments of the site conditions are required for the sustainable
management of landfills. In this study we propose an evaluation method to determine the …

Potentially harmful elements, or more generally trace elements, are now considered to be
among the most effective environmental contaminants, and their release into the …

Serpentine soils have relatively high concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs)(Co,
