Soil Pb concentrations at urban agriculture sites (UAS) commonly exceed recommended safe levels. There is a lack of evidence regarding uptake of Pb by gardeners using such sites for food crops. Our study aimed to elucidate whether gardening in soil with raised Pb levels results in Pb body burdens of concern to health, and to assess confounding factors influencing Pb body burden. Our cross-sectiona...... hiện toàn bộ
The investigation of metal concentrations in street dust samples in Aqaba city, JordanEnvironmental Geochemistry and Health - Tập 29 - Trang 197-207 - 2007
Omar Ali Al-Khashman
The concentrations of metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Cd, Ni, Mn and Co) in 140 street dust samples were collected from Aqaba city, Jordan. These samples were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry after digestion with aqua regia. The highest levels of metal concentrations were found in the samples from heavy traffic. While the lowest levels of metal ions were noted in the street d...... hiện toàn bộ

The Application of Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) to the Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)Environmental Geochemistry and Health - - 2003
Amanda J. King, James W. Readman, John L. Zhou
There are many established extraction techniques regularly used in the isolation and analysis of PAHs and similar organic compounds from various phases. These include Soxhlet or ultrasonic extractions from solids, and liquid-liquid or solid-phase extraction from aqueous samples. However, these methods have some inherent disadvantages; most require large volumes of organic solvents, they can be tim...... hiện toàn bộ
Selenium dietary intake, urinary excretion, and toxicity symptoms among children from a coal mining area in BrazilEnvironmental Geochemistry and Health - Tập 43 - Trang 65-75 - 2020

Selenium (Se) is necessary for several physiological functions in the human body; however, high concentrations of this element in coal mining areas raise the possibility of Se-related health risks. Children are much more vulnerable and at risk to environmental hazards than adults. The largest coal mining area of Brazil is located in the city of Candiota, where previous studies point to significant...... hiện toàn bộ
