“…Some farmers use composts (from inorganic sources), fertilizers and plant nutrients in relatively large amounts that are rich in some metals and this might explain some of the higher value of metals in the mint. Besides, contamination from industrial activities nearby mint farms might also expected [1,4,9].…”

Mentha is the most common plant species grown in Saudi Arabia's Madinah city. Locally, the two popular types of mint are commercially called (Hasawi or Habaq) and (Mograbi). Both species are used in herbal teas, alone or as spice mixtures for many foods to offer aroma and flavour. In this research Hasawi mint samples were collected from three different locations and digested by two methods (acid digestion method and a microwave digestion system). Then, they were analysed for their metal contents by ICP-MS. The results from both digestion methods revealed that the following 10 metals were presented: V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb. The microwave digestion system was the best for all studied heavy metals in term of sample preparation procedures, linearity (≥ 0.999), recovery (97%-101%, n=2) and precision (R.S.D% ≈ 1-2 %, n=2). Mint samples from first location contained 7 metals within the permissible limit while the remaining three metals (Cr, Cu and Zn) had higher levels. The second location contained 9 metals within the permissible limit but only one metal (Cu) had a higher level. The third location contained 6 metals within the permissible limit while it had 4 metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd) with higher level. All locations contained As, Cd and Pb within permissible limit except the third location which had a cadmium amount of (0.6 mg/kg) while the cadmium permissible level is (0.3 mg/kg). Some farmers use composts (from inorganic sources), fertilizers and plant nutrients in relatively large amounts that are rich in some metals and this might explain some of the higher value of metals in the mint. Moreover, contamination from industrial activities nearby mint farms might also be expected.

“…El uso inapropiado y excesivo de los antibióticos, es perjudicial a la salud humana y/o la biota acuática (Mondal et al, 2019). En este último caso, la principal preocupación ambiental que se genera, radica en los cambios sobre la estructura genética (incluyéndose fenotipos) de la comunidad microbiana dada la prevalencia de genes de resistencia (Singer et al, 2016;Larsson et al, 2018;Grenni et al, 2018) de manera que, la exposición de los antibióticos finalizan comprometiendo el valor de uso del propio recurso acuático debido a su descomposición incompleta (Monteiro & Boxall, 2015, Elgallal et al, 2016Danner et al, 2019).…”

Ocurrencia ambiental de los antibióticos y su predicción ecotoxicológica mediante el uso del programa computacional Gecotoxic ®Environmental occurrence of the antibiotics and their ecotoxicological prediction through the use of the Gecotoxic ® computational program RESUMENLa exposición de los antibióticos en las aguas constituye una preocupación ambiental donde se necesita metodologías integrales para señalizar de forma temprana la probabilidad del riesgo. El objetivo del estudio fue describir la ocurrencia ambiental de los antibióticos y su predicción ecotoxicológica mediante el programa computacional Gecotoxic ® . Mediante el muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia se seleccionó un artículo científico de revisión valorándose, el número de antibióticos y solo la ciprofloxacina, oxitetraciclina, sulfametoxazol, trimetoprima y eritromicina (de 39) se representaron en los cuatro continentes evaluados: África, América, Asia-Pacífico y Europa. Se consideró con otros estudios la limitación correlacional entre los bioensayos, datos de caracterización de fuentes tributarias, parámetros físico-químicos y/o, análisis de matrices ambientales asociadas. Se concluyó que, la ecotoxicología de los antibióticos es predecible mediante el programa computacional Gecotoxic ® , pues considera la propia prueba de bioensayo de toxicidad media que se analizó en el artículo seleccionado.

“…Compared to conventional adsorbents, nanomaterials have been counted as very promising candidates for high-performance adsorbents in the most adsorbents, due to their higher surfaceto-volume ratio. 9 Up to now, some adsorbents, such as such as carbon nanospheres and/or nanotubes, graphene derivatives, metal oxide nanoparticles, and other nano adsorbents have been widely researched for Cr (VI) removal. [9][10][11][12] Considering that oxyanions are the main form of chromate existing in water, the adsorption capacity of chromate can be expected to improve by introducing cationic units onto the adsorbent surface, because of the static electrical interaction between oxyanions and positive component on the adsorbent surface.…”

Herein, calixarene molecules containing piperidine units at lower rim or upper rim of calix skeleton was turned into a water resistant composite nanofiber adsorbent using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymeric support via electrospinning process. The PAN based calixarene nanofibrous adsorbents showed an excellent adsorption capacity toward the toxic chromate anions in aqueous solution. Furthermore, this new nanofiber mats would be promising filter materials for drinking water purification.
