In view of increasing emissions antimony (Sb) into the environment due to industrialization and consequent carcinogenicity, it is essential remove this metal from ecosystem. Antimony arsenic (As) are analogs. Although numerous studies examined removal, few reports available on Sb removal. review, various removal techniques described understand how process occurs what research gaps needed improve efficiency. At present, surface adsorption technique most widely used for Biological treatment...
This study investigated pollinator assemblage diversity and richness in four forested ecosystems of southern Punjab, Pakistan, with different landscape types. Pirowal is situated the plains irrigated Lal Suhanra part a sandy desert ecosystem, Ghazi Ghat Indus River delta, Fort Munro located dry hilly mountains. A yearlong survey populations was carried out these from January to December 2010. Fortnightly hand netting performed for collecting flower-visiting insects whereas, pan traps three...
Arsenic (As) is identified by the EPA as third highest toxic inorganic contaminant. Almost every 9th or 10th human in more than 70 countries including mainland China affected As. along with other toxins not only affects life but also creates alarming situations such deterioration of farm lands and desertion industrial/mining lands. Researchers administrators have agreed to opt for phytoremediation As over costly cleanups. Boehmeria nivea L. can soak up various heavy metals, Sb, Cd, Pb, Zn....
The metal tolerance and metabolic changes in Boehmeria nivea colonized mining areas are not well known. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of antimony (Sb)+arsenic (As) following combinations (control (no metal), 20+0, 10+10, 40+0, 20+20, 40+40 mg/L) on phytotoxicity, index (MTI), chlorophyll fluorescence B. nivea. This constitutes an initial investigation Sb Sb+As contaminated high mg/L produced significant phytotoxicity MTI plant. Progressive higher levels...
The effects of cadmium stress (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/L) on morpho-physiological features selected genes (carotenoid hydroxilase, amidase, GR, bHLH, NRAMP YSL) expression were demonstrated in Arundo donax L. plants assessed for Cd uptake its chlorophyll antioxidants after 30 days exposure. conferring metal tolerance was evaluated 10 results showed a maximum roots (872 mg/kg) followed by stem (734 leaves (298 at highest supplied concentration. reduced dry weight, Chla, Chlb, total Chl...
Ficus tikoua (F. tikoua) was a potential species for antimony (Sb) phytoremediation due to its wide growth in the mining area. However, little known about tolerance mechanisms toward Sb. The determination of distribution and chemical speciation Sb F. is essential understanding involved accumulation, transportation, detoxification. present study investigated subcellular forms tikoua. plant exposed different concentrations (0, 30, 90, 180 μmol/L) 30 days. results showed that possessed marked...
The present study used human lung fibroblast (HELF) cells as a test model to evaluate the role of oxidative stress (OS) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) protein in HELF cell proliferation exposed PCB118. Results from 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide demonstrated that PCB118 at lower concentrations stimulated abrogate proliferative effect higher dose time-dependent manner. Moreover, reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide...
To investigate the accumulation of lead (Pb) by radish (Raphanus sativus) cultivars a study was carried out at Department Soil and Environmental Sciences, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan (Pakistan), during 2012.Two varieties i.e., exotic local, were used.The treatments included sewage water different concentrations Pb @ 25, 100, 200 400 mg L -1 .The results showed that total biomass both nonsignificantly influenced applied water, except for root diameter which significantly greater in...
High level of temperature along with chronic environmental changes causes metabolic impairments in animals that raise their stress levels. For a variety interrelated intrinsic and extrinsic factors, individual behave substantially from one another, this behavioural variance is the main feature for evolutionary change. In many cases, both natural human-induced rapid have an impact on behaviour through its wide ranging direct indirect effects physiology. The sheep are essential to...
Ocimum basilicum, belongs to the family Lamiaceae is commercially cultivated as a condiment i.e., for production of essential oil. Other medicinal uses are treat vomiting, diarrhea, various pains, and intestinal colic, improve kidney function hyperl ipidemia. The Ocymum basilicum L. has neuro-protective, antioxidant, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory hepato-protective effects. In present day concern due shortage land availability people more interested towards soilless cultivation. So pot...
Climate changes are the long-term in weather conditions and/or patterns of unusual extreme events. by natural factors include volcanic eruptions, variations solar output, aerosol emissions, earth's orbital characteristics and some anthropogenic including burning fossil fuels, industrial activities, cement production, land use changes, deforestation mismanaged agriculture. All these activities result higher emissions greenhouse gases (GHGs) i.e., carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) nitrous...
