Environmental impacts related to arsenic (As) contamination are a persistent issue of particular interest in Latin American countries with increasing mining activities. In Ecuador, the redefinition of public policies to promote the increase in mining since 2008 has led to a significant rise in the presence of this heavy metal in rivers and effluent...

Accumulating evidence suggests that heavy metal exposure may have adverse effects on the fetal development. Furthermore, disruption of serum hormone homeostasis can result in the adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential association between heavy metals and missed abortion, with a focus on whether serum ho...

The potential health risks associated with high levels of heavy metals, particularly mercury, encompass a wide range of often irreversible toxic effects. Mercury pollution resulting from industrial activities has serious repercussions on the environment, human health and ecosystems. In recent years, much research has focused on the use of bio-based...

Many studies have focused their attention on the origin of heavy metals, their accumulation, and dispersion in soil samples in order to monitor soil pollution in agricultural settings. The purpose of this research is to use atomic absorption spectrometry technology to analyse soil samples taken from various agricultural regions in the districts and...

The current study assessed the levels of exopolysaccharides (EPS) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the impacts of halophilic bacteria Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi W4 under Cr (VI). The effects of W4 were tested for its ability to remove Cr (VI) at several concentrations, the removal rate was reached after 48 h at 58.4%, 53.3%, 49.2%, and 43.1%). Af...

Heavy metals are one of the reasons that cause many diseases in humans. Using an atomic spectrometer, we measured heavy metals (cu, Hg, zn, cd, bp) in blood samples collected from farmers in the districts and districts of Al-Diwaniyah Governorate. The results showed that all samples collected contained concentrations higher than the permissible lim...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a mosaic of neurodevelopmental conditions composed of early-onset social interaction and communication deficits, along with repetitive and/or restricted patterns of activities, behavior, and interests. ASD affects around 1% of children worldwide, with a male predominance. Energy, porphyrin, and neurotransmitter hom...

The effect of changes in microbial community structure on the migration and release of toxic heavy metal (loid)s is often ignored in ecological restoration. Here, we investigated a multi-metal (mercury and thallium, Tl) mine waste slag. With particular focus on its strong acidity, poor nutrition, and high toxicity pollution characteristics, we adde...

This study evaluated the potential effects of long-term land use and climate change on the quality of surface runoff and the health risks associated with it. The land use change projection 2030 was derived from the main changes in land use from 2009 to 2019, and rainfall data was obtained from the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LAR...
