Distribution of Pb, Cd and Ba in soils and plants of two contaminated sites

Artesian Water Contamination with Heavy Metals at Different Distances at Borg El Arab, Alexandria – Egypt

“…Table (1b) revealed that the artesian liquid wastes discharged in irrigation canals increased the levels of heavy metals in the water, to reach a level below that recommended by (FAO, 1995). The concentration of heavy metals decreased by getting far away from the source of irrigation (Fattah and Abdelrazek, 2014) Similar results were reported by Pichtel et al (2000) ; Ramadan (1995); Abou-El-Naga et al (1996); Eissa and El-Kassas (1999); Ahmed(2001) Superphosphate fertilizer, pesticides and brick factories emission were the main sources of pollution by heavy metals in this area (Elsoury et al, 2015;Omran et al, 1996;ElSebaey, 1995;USDA, 1997;Ahmed, 2001). Table (2a and 2b) showed the amount of DTPA extractable Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd Co, in soil with distance from water source.…”

Influences of Cadmium and Zinc Interaction and Humic Acid on Metal Accumulation in Ceratophyllum Demersum

“…Toxic heavy metal contamination in soils, water and plants is of major importance due to its health effects on humans and other animals (Farmer & Farmer, 2000;Pichtel, Kuroiwa, & Sawyer, 2000). Cd and Zn are common industrial pollutants.…”
