Biological activities in artificially heavy-metal-contaminated growing substrates
(MDPI, 2023)The ingestion of vegetables grown in soils or in cultivation substrate contaminated with heavy metals (HMs) and irrigated with wastewater is a potential problem for human health and food quality. The increasing disappearance ... -
Comparative Effects of Organic and Conventional Cropping Systems on Trace Elements Contents in Vegetable Brassicaceae: Risk Assessment
(MDPI, 2021)Genotypes selected from 3 plant species (Brassica rapa, Eruca vesicaria and Sinapis alba) belonging to the Brassicaceae family were chosen to compare the concentrations of 9 inorganic elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, ... -
La Incidencia de Metales Pesados en Compost de Residuos Sólidos Urbanos y en su uso Agronómico en España
(Centro de Información Tecnológica (Santiago de Chile), 2007)En este trabajo, se describe el proceso de compostaje mediante pilas volteadas de la fracción orgánica, recogida selectivamente, de residuos sólidos urbanos (RSU), analizado durante tres años. El compost, aceptable para ... -
Potentially toxic element bioaccumulation in consumed indoor shrimp farming associated with diet, water and sediment levels
(Springer, 2023)Shrimp production is an important industry for many countries and shrimp consumption is increasing worldwide. Shrimps are a highly nutritional food, but can pose a risk for human health if subject to high levels of ... -
Potentially toxic elements in commonly consumed fish species from the western Mediterranean Sea (Almería Bay): Bioaccumulation in liver and muscle tissues in relation to biometric parameters
(Elsevier, 2019)Marine pollution is one of today's most relevant problems. Public awareness has been raised about the harmful potential of heavy metals (HMs) accumulating in edible fish and possibly ending up in human diet through the ... -
Protein Carbonylation As a Biomarker of Heavy Metal, Cd and Pb, Damage in Paspalum fasciculatum Willd. ex Flüggé
(MDPI, 2019)Heavy metal tolerant plants have phytoremediation potential for the recovery of contaminated soils, and the characterization of their metabolic adaptation processes is an important starting point to elucidate their tolerance ... -
Quantitative proteomic analysis of cyanide and mercury detoxification by pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT 5344
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023)The cyanide-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT 5344 uses cyanide and different metal-cyanide complexes as the sole nitrogen source. Under cyanotrophic conditions, this strain was able to grow with up ... -
Reduction of Leaching Impacts by Applying Biomass Bottom Ash and Recycled Mixed Aggregates in Structural Layers of Roads
(MDPI, 2016)This research is focused on analyzing the environmental pollution potential of biomass bottom ashes as individual materials, as mixtures manufactured with biomass bottom ashes and granular construction aggregates, and ... -
The role of pH on leaching of heavy metals and chlorides from electric arc furnace dust in cement-based mortars
(Elsevier, 2018)Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) presents a pollution hazard due to its heavy metal leachability. Its characterization is essential for recovery or disposal in hazardous waste landfills. The present work discusses the ...
