Abstract Most coal in India originates from the Korb basin (Chhattisgarh), where mines, thermal power, and aluminum plants operate. Groundwater this region faces severe pollution due to land reclamation, leaching of coal‐related contaminants, waste disposal, industrial effluent seepage. This work presents results monitoring groundwater Korba 2012 2017. Fluoride, aluminum, manganese, iron levels exceeded acceptable quality limits across all 28 studied locations, with excessive nitrate,...
In this work, microscopic X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (mu-XANES) and confocal fluorescence analysis (mu-XRF) were used for the in vivo determination of distribution total selenium local speciation roots leaves onion. Selected Allium cepa L. plants grown hydroponically a standard medium containing inorganic compounds (selenite or selenate). The measurements performed vivo, that is, on living without need any form sampling sample pretreatment necessity cutting plant...
It was previously found that the bioavailability of Se from Se-rich spirulina (SeSp) lower than selenite or selenomethionine when fed to Se-deficient rats. The present study examined SeSp subfractions: a pellet (P) issuing centrifugation suspension broken and retentate (R) resulting ultrafiltration supernatant through 30 kDa exclusion membrane. Animals were torula yeast based diet with no (deficients) supplemented 75 microg Se/kg as sodium (controls) for 42 days. rats then repleted 56 days...
Abstract Biscutella laevigata L. is known as a Tl hyperaccumulator. In Poland occurs in the Tatra Mts (Western Carpathians) and on calamine waste heap Bolesław near Olkusz (Silesian Upland). The purpose of this work was to evaluate whether plants both populations were able accumulate an elevated amount thallium their tissues. cultivated soil glasshouse for season studied at different ages – from 2-week-old seedlings 10-month-old adults. Additionally, grown ten weeks with EDTA enhance...

In 2008, the International Measurement Evaluation Programme, IMEP®, organised two proficiency tests (PTs) for determination of heavy metals in mineral feed, named IMEP-105 and IMEP-27, respectively. was support activities European Union Reference Laboratory Heavy Metals Feed Food, participation restricted to officially nominated National Laboratories (NRLs). IMEP-27 open all interested control laboratories field. The test material used PTs same timeframe exercises overlapped. measurands both...
Coal is a dirty fuel contaminated with F- and other elements. Several million tons of coal are burnt in Korba basin, central India to generate electricity pouring fluorine elements into the environment. The water chemicals beyond permissible limits. consumed by human animals excreting balanced toxicants through stool urine. folds higher concentration urine (44 mg/L) (266 mg/kg) samples cattle observed. prevalence fluorosis diseases basin reported.
The rare earth elements (REE) are of great interests due to wide industrial applications. In the present work, geochemistry REE in contaminated pond sediment Ambagarh Chowki, cen-tral India is described. concentration (n = 24) La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Th and U was ranged from 16 - 119, 41 163, 4.1 28, 99, 0.7 2.7, 3.2 18, 2.7 16, 0.4 2.3, 2.2 13, 2.4, 1.1 6.1, 0.2 0.8, 0.9 4.8, 0.13 0.70, 6 25 0.46 1.86 mg/kg with mean value 42 ± 9, 89 9.4 1.9, 34 7, 1.2 0.2,...
