The impact of heavy metal toxicity on the shoot and root lengths, total protein, fiber characteristics, moisture content nutrient composition spinach (Spinacia oleracea) was evaluated. Plants were grown in pots containing soil treated with different concentrations (mg/kg) lead (Pb; 300, 400 500), cadmium (Cd; 0.5, 1 1.5) zinc (Zn; 250, 500, 700) as well mixtures Cd Pb (0.5/300, 1/400, 1.5/500), Zn (0.5/250, 1/500, 1.5/700), (300/250, 400/500, 500/700). Soil contaminated by long-term...
This study investigated the heavy metals (HM) contamination in water of Indus River and its tributaries, northern Pakistan. Water samples (n=44) were collected along with five geological units: Kohistan batholith, Chilas complex, Kamila amphibolites, Jijal Indian plate. Observed HM levels within WHO drinking guidelines except for Ni (23.7 µg/L) complex Pb (10.6 at on Hazard quotient (HQ) values observed < 1, suggesting no health risk through consumption. Statistical analyses revealed that...
Abstract This study evaluates the characteristics of water along Swat River, Northern Pakistan. For this purpose, samples ( n = 30) were collected and analyzed for physicochemical parameters including heavy metals (HM). The mean concentrations HM within drinking guideline values set by World Health Organization (WHO 2011) except 34%, 60%, 56% copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), respectively. Pollution sources identified various multivariate statistical techniques correlation analysis (CA)...
Abstract The Ghizer River Basin (GRB) is one of the sub-basins Indus hosting rich mineralization and agrogenic activities. GRB was sampled for 55 water samples investigated potentially harmful element (PHE) concentrations using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. PHE in were used to calculate potential non-cancer risks such as chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), cancer risk (CR). highest average chromium (37.1 ± 17.1 μg/L), copper (27.4 12.5 arsenic (4.8 0.9 cobalt...
This study sought to asses drinking and irrigation water quality in the Dera Ismail (DI) Khan District, Pakistan with aid of using index (WQI) indices (IWQI). Seventy two samples were collected from various sources such as tube wells, dug hand pumps, streams, springs throughout DI district. The investigated physicochemical parameters include pH, TDS, EC, turbidity, total hardness, major cations (Na, K, Ca, Mg), anions (Cl, HCO3, SO4), heavy metals (Fe, Mo, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn). IWQI used includes...
