Copper contamination is increasing and can be a threat to human health. This review tries to summarize copper levels measured in humans in Iran. Persian databases such as SID, Magiran, and IranMedex and English databases such as Scopus, Pubmed, Science Direct, and the Google Scholar were searched using both English and Persian keywords. Twenty-six ...

Understanding the interactions of humic substances with metal ions is of great importance in forecasting the behaviors and fates of trace metals in the environment. Humin is the least understood humic substance fraction due to its close association with the mineral matrix in soil. In this study, humin was prepared from three zonal soils (i.e., dark...
Cytotoxicity of cationic (NHC)Cu(I) complexes bearing 2,2′-dipyridylamine (dpa) type ligands has been evaluated toward 4 cancer cell lines, and compared to the one of neutral (NHC)Cu(I) complexes. The high cytotoxicity of these novel cationic (NHC)Cu(I) complexes, combined with the straightforward synthesis, and versatility of dpa type ligands may ...

Nowadays, anthropogenic inflow of heavy metals (HM) into the environment far exceeds their natural quantities in Ukraine. The main sources of HM inflow are enterprises that use high-temperature processes in the production cycle—combustion of fuel and thermal processing of raw materials. Examples of such enterprises are Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Pl...

A high-concentration colloid solution of metallic copper nanoparticles was prepared by the reduction of copper ions in aqueous solutions, and the nanoparticles were used to study metal–metal bonding. The colloid solution of metallic copper nanoparticles was prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of CuCl2 and an aqueous solution of hydrazine (reduct...
High-strength, high-conductivity silver-copper composite wires were prepared by powder metallurgy, spark plasma sintering and room-temperature wire-drawing. Silver nanowires were mixed with a commercial micrometric copper powder (1, 5 and 10 vol% silver). The powders were consolidated by spark plasma sintering in cylinders, which served as precurso...

Heavy metals polluted soils have turned out to be a common environmental problem across the globe due to their toxic effects and accumulation through the food chain. Heavy metals have lethal effects on all forms of life. For instance, plants grown on heavy metal polluted soil show a reduction in growth and yields. A surge in anthropogenic activitie...
