Wpływ warunków prowadzenia eksperymentu na wyniki badań biomonitoringowych z zastosowaniem mchów
2017
Zastosowanie skorup jaj do usuwania metali ciężkich ze ścieków z instalacji odsiarczania spalin
2018
Przeprowadzono badania skuteczności usuwania kationów Ni, Cu i Cd z roztworów wodnych z zastosowaniem wapienia marglistego, skorup jaj kurzych przeznaczonych do konsumpcji oraz skorup jaj kurzych po wylęgu, których głównym składnikiem jest węglan wapnia. Skorupy jaj kurzych są produktem ubocznym przemysłu spożywczego, który może znaleźć zastosowanie jako zamiennik wapienia marglistego wykorzystywanego do usuwania metali ciężkich z instalacji mokrego odsiarczania spalin. Do badań użyto mieszanych roztworów Ni, Cu i Cd składem zbliżonych do ścieków z instalacji mokrego odsiarczania spalin: Ni (0,526-3,118 mg/dm3 ), Cu (0,483-4,285 mg/dm3 ) i Cd (0,372-0,875 mg/dm3 ). Metale oznaczano metodą a…
Ocena właściwości sorpcyjnych Hottonia palustris L.
2016
Zbadano w warunkach laboratoryjnych kinetykę i równowagę procesu sorpcji wybranych metali ciężkich: Cu i Zn w roślinie wodnej - okrężnicy bagiennej (Hottonia palustris L.). Wykazano, że stan równowagi w układzie roztwór soli metalu - okrężnica bagienna zostaje osiągnięty po około 60 minutach. W warunkach prowadzenia eksperymentu około 36% jonów miedzi i około 49% jonów cynku sorbowanych jest z roztworów początkowych w pierwszych 10 minutach. Do opisu równowag wykorzystano model izotermy Langmuira. Stwierdzono, że Hottonia palustris L. sorbuje jony metali ciężkich proporcjonalnie do ich zawartości w roztworze, w którym została zanurzona. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można przypuszczać…
Concentrations of metallothionein in the bivalve molluscsAnodonta spp.andUnio spp.from Latvian lakes with different anthropogenic pressure
2013
Concentrations of metallothioneins (MT) were analysed in bivalve molluscs Anodonta spp. and Unio spp. from 6 lakes and watercourses of Latvia with different anthropogenic pressure. The aim of the study was to find the relationship between MT in molluscs and concentrations of heavy metals in sediments. Unio spp. and Anodonta spp. showed no significant differences in the concentrations of MT. High concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg, Cu, Zn) were detected in the deepest parts of polluted water bodies, however their concentrations significantly decreased in near shore sediments inhabited by molluscs. Only Zn tends to accumulate in the molluscs, reaching 2-7 times higher concentrations i…
Comparison of Exposure Techniques and Vitality Assessment of Mosses in Active Biomonitoring for Their Suitability in Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution …
2021
The most widespread and used technique is the moss-bag method in active biomonitoring of air pollution using mosses. In the literature, we can find various studies on the standardization of this method, including attempts to standardize treatments and preparation procedures for their universal application. Few works comprehensively focus on other methods or compare other techniques used in active biomonitoring with mosses, especially including measurements of their vital parameters. Our experiment aimed to assess air pollution by selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Fe, and Hg) using three moss species (Pleurozium schreberi, Sphagnum fallax, and Dicranum polysetum) during a 12-week ex…
Bioaccumulation of Trace Elements from Aqueous Solutions by Selected Terrestrial Moss Species
2022
The interrelationship between metal concentrations in mosses and their surroundings prompts research toward examining their accumulation properties, as it is particularly important for their usage in biomonitoring studies that use mosses. In this study, the kinetics of elemental sorption in three moss species (Pleurozium schreberi, Dicranum polysetum, and Sphagnum fallax) were investigated under laboratory conditions. Sorption from metal salt solutions was carried out under static conditions with decreasing elemental concentration. Functional groups responsible for binding metal cations to the internal structures of the mosses were also identified. It was shown that the equilibrium state wa…
Passive Biomonitoring of Influence of the Communication Traffic on Deposition the Pollution Near the Motorway
2019
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań, przeprowadzonych w ramach biomonitoringu pasywnego, polegających na ocenie depozycji metali ciężkich (Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg i Pb), wzbogacających lokalnie aerozol atmosferyczny w skutek ruchu komunikacyjnego na autostradzie A4 w pobliżu miejscowości Prószków (województwo opolskie). Do badań wykorzystano próbki mchów Pleurozium schreberi, które pobrano w pobliżu autostrady na dystansie 3000 m i w odległości od niej do 120 metrów. Przy wyborze punktów pomiarowych uwzględniono częstotliwość kierunku wiatru na tym terenie. Metale ciężkie oznaczono metodą absorpcyjnej spektometrii atomowej ze wzbudzaniem w płomieniu (F-AAS). Wyniki badań wskazują na to, iż ruch k…
Evaluation of waterborne exposure to heavy metals in innate immune defences present on skin mucus of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
2015
Aquatic animals are continuously exposed to chemical pollutants but the effects evoked in skin surfaces, which receive the most direct contact with them, are poorly investigated. Terminal carbohydrate composition and immunological components present in skin mucus of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) specimens exposed to waterborne sublethal dosages of heavy metals [arsenic (As2O3), cadmium (CdCl2) and mercury (CH3HgCl) at 5, 5 and 0.04 μM, respectively for 2, 10 and 30 days were analysed. Moreover, the presence of a fucose binding lectin (FBL) was evaluated by western blot and the protein profiles were by SDS-PAGE and HPLC. Results showed little effects of heavy metals in the presence of…
Tolerance, Adaptation, and Cell Response Elicited by Micromonospora sp. Facing Tellurite Toxicity: A Biological and Physical-Chemical Characterization
2022
The intense use of tellurium (Te) in industrial applications, along with the improper disposal of Te-derivatives, is causing their accumulation in the environment, where oxyanion tellurite (TeO32−) is the most soluble, bioavailable, and toxic Te-species. On the other hand, tellurium is a rare metalloid element whose natural supply will end shortly with possible economic and technological effects. Thus, Te-containing waste represents the source from which Te should be recycled and recovered. Among the explored strategies, the microbial TeO32− biotransformation into less toxic Te-species is the most appropriate concerning the circular economy. Actinomycetes are ideal candidates in…
Mobilność wybranych metali ciężkich w komunalnych osadach ściekowych
2016
The research was aimed at determining the interaction of municipal sewage sludge with the environment in the aspect of its potential for land applications in agriculture, land reclamation and land adaptation to different uses. Sequential extraction of heavy metals according to Brümmer’s method was used in the study. A detailed interpretation of the data allowed to state that the highest content of copper was found in one of the most mobile bindings (fraction I). For other heavy metals only trace amounts were found in the bindings considered as the most mobile (fraction I-III) which proved less risk posed to the environment. The highest percentage share of heavy metals in the investigated sl…
