“…Among these pollutants, heavy metals, including zinc, lead to pollution all around the world. Zinc concentrations measured in coastal waters of unpolluted and polluted sites range from 0.3 to 300 lg/L (Bird et al, 1996;Terrés-Martos et al, 2002;Baudrimont et al, 2005;Daby, 2006;Hamed and Emara, 2006;El Ati-Hellal et al, 2007). However, extremely high zinc concentrations, ranging from 1.8 mg L À1 to 6 mg L À1 , have been reported in specific areas (Amado Filho et al, 1997;Srinivasa et al, 2005).…”

“…The chronic exposure experiment consisted of exposing oysters to zinc at a concentration of 0.53 ± 0.04 mg Zn L À1 for 10 weeks, which is typical of the pollution levels observed in some anthropogenic areas (Bird et al, 1996;Terrés-Martos et al, 2002;Baudrimont et al, 2005;Daby, 2006;Hamed and Emara, 2006;El Ati-Hellal et al, 2007). The acute exposure was carried out for 7 days at a concentration of 10.2 ± 1.2 mg Zn L À1 .…”

“…in manufacture of alloys, for galvanizing iron, in drycell batteries, it is also among the most common contaminants of surface waters due to human activity (Terré s-Martos et al 2002;Van Sprang et al 2004). It is an essential element, required as a cofactor for many enzymes.…”

The sensitivity of neonates of four Daphnia species to zinc was tested in relation to their mean body size. These mean sizes of these four Daphnia spp were: D. magna, 0.813 ± 0.055 mm, D. pulicaria, 0.745 ± 0.063 mm, D. pulex, 0.645 ± 0.044 mm and D. galeata, 0.611 ± 0.058 mm. A positive relationship between EC 50 (24, 48) values and neonates size was found. The smaller the size of the daphnid the higher was the sensitivity to heavy metal toxicity. For all tested species did the EC 50 values decrease with time; the decrease was most marked for D. magna and the least for D. galeata. The EC 50 values of D. magna were higher than would be expected on basis of its body size.

“…Zn (II), which is present in the variety of foods has an important role in the enzymes operations. It is an essential element for the proper functioning of the immune, cellular replication, digestive and nervous systems [1,2]. The low concentrations of this element can be harmful for plants, animals and human body due to its bioaccumulation, nonbiodegradable properties and its toxicity for the brain [3].…”

A new Schiff base, 2-[(4-Chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-ylmethylene)-amino]-propionic acid was successfully synthesized and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), elemental analysis (CHN) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. It was found out that the synthesized Schiff base could be used as a novel and reliable candidate to detect and quantify of Zn (II) ions in water and biological samples. Some effective parameters on quantification of Zn (II), such as pH, Schiff base and salt concentration were inspected by a (2 3 ) full factorial design using Design-Expert, software. Under optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range 0.04-10.0 μg mL −1 with a limit of detection of 0.01 μg mL −1 . The proposed method was successfully applied to the rapid determination of Zn (II) in water and biological samples. The validation was performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with satisfactory results.
