Phytoremediation is deemed as an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative which utilizes different types of hyperaccumulator plants known as macrophytes for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from contaminated water. In this study, the removal of Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) heavy metal ions contaminated water was studied by using an aquatic plant, Persicaria amphibia (L.) collected from Ladik Lake, Samsun, Turkiye. The experiments were carried out hydroponically in the laboratory conditions. Synthetic heavy metals contaminated water (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 mg kg- 1), and domestic and industrial water were used in the experiments. The domestic and industrial water samples were taken from Aksu and Batlama streams in Giresun province. All physical plant changes were noted, and pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen levels of the hydroponic system were measured regularly during the experiments. In order to determine the effects of heavy metals on the plant, the chlorophyll (a, b and total) and carotenoid contents as well as the biomass of the plant, were measured. According to the phytoremediation experiments the amounts of accumulated heavy metals in plants were found as Cd(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II) > Pb(II) in single systems and as Cd(II) > Ni(II) > Pb(II) > Cu(II) in competitive systems. The maximum amounts of heavy metals accumulated in plants were determined as 171 ± 9 mg kg-1 for Cd(II), 143 ± 7 mg kg-1 for Ni(II), 134 ± 8 mg kg-1 for Cu(II) and 55 ± 4 mg kg-1 for Pb(II). In addition, bioconcentration factor (BCF) values were calculated to make comparisons with the phytoextraction potential of the plant. This study emphasizes the importance of P. amphibia with high bioaccumulation potential for phytoremediation and suggests that it could be employed to restore water in heavy metal-contaminated areas.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 1","pages":"13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we developed and optimized an alkaline digestion-manual purge trap/gas chromatography-cold atomic fluorescence spectrometry (GC-CVAFS) method for the quantification of MeHg in solid matrix samples such as sediments, soils or sedimentary rocks. The alkaline digestion method yielded higher recoveries of MeHg than the acid extraction method. The manual purge trap/GC analysis enhanced the detection of MeHg by increasing the loading volume of the digestion solution, thereby facilitating the detection of lower concentrations of MeHg in the samples when compared to fully automated analysis. The optimized method achieved a method the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0263 ng·g-1 and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.0876 ng·g-1 with relative standard deviations of less than 10%.

The levels of MT in gills were higher in animals exposed to the Itupararanga reservoir compared to the control.

Predominant colours were pink, black, brown, white, green, blue, red, and yellow, with orange being the least common. Microplastic sizes mostly varied from 0.05 to 0.5 mm. Fiber shaped MPs are the predominant, followed by fragments, foam, film and pellets. Predominant polymer types were polyethylene (45%), polystyrene (18%), and polypropylene (15%). These results emphasize wastewater's significant role in introducing microplastics into coastal ecosystems from domestic and industrial sources. Addressing this issue requires effective management plans, including advanced wastewater treatment, public awareness campaigns and regulatory measures.

Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the impact of a textile azo dye, Eriochrome Black T (EBT), on the liver of a freshwater fish, Clarias batrachus. Fish were exposed to three concentrations of EBT, i.e., 1 mgL-1, 10 mgL-1 and 20 mgL-1, to evaluate oxidative stress markers such as level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and activity of enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT, GPx and GR), as well as histology and histochemitry following 96 h of exposure. The results revealed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in EBT bioaccumulation, resulting in elevated level of LPO and significant variation (p < 0.05) in the activities of antioxidant enzymes. The percent change calculation of oxidative stress markers of exposed fishes from control one showed that EBT had most significant impact on the fishes exposed to 20 mgL-1 of EBT. Histological and histochemical examinations also demonstrated the deteriorating impact of EBT on structural architecture of liver. Hence, the present study concludes that EBT causes detrimental impact on fish health by impairing its liver detoxification system and metabolism. Therefore, it is suggested to explore mechanism of EBT toxicity on aquatic organisms so that its hazardous risk can be monitored and preventive measures can be taken.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 1","pages":"9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, our objective was to investigate transport efficiency of indoxacaarb using three different soils to understand the leaching potential. The leaching experiments were performed using a 0.01 M calcium chloride solution over five consecutive days. Leachates (water) and soil samples were collected and the residues of indoxacarb were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The method's accuracy was validated by conducting recovery experiments at levels ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 µg/g. The results showed that 82.67 to 84.00%, 80.67 to 82.70% and 76.68 to 78.70% of the indoxacarb applied was retained in the topsoil layer (0-10 cm) for acid, alkali and neutral soil, respectively. Its low leaching behavior, as evidenced by its retention in the topsoil layer and absence in the leachate, contributes to its limited mobility within the soil profile. The study suggests that indoxacarb has no potential for contaminating groundwater and the soil environment through leaching processes.","PeriodicalId":501,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology","volume":"114 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
