The aim of the study is to determine the concentration of some heavy metals in some
imported tattoo inks (black and colored).
Sold in Homs, Tartous, Ybroud and DeirAtieh, and assess whether tattoo inks comply with
maximum concentrations of heavy m
etals in the EPA’s guid line -2012 and find out the
relation of colours by Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr contents.
18 Samples of tattoo inks purchased from different sources.
5 Samples black, 4 samples green, 5 samples red, 2 samples brown,1 sample white and 1
sample oily.
This samples reveals that the concentration of heavy metals previously mentioned very
high and varies depending on the source of the tattoo ink.
These concentrations above the maximum limits according to the EPA’s-2012 quid line.
This study reveals also that the type of pigment used in tattoo inks contributes to its heavy
metal content.
The use of tattoo inks could result increase in the heavy metal level in human body which
could lead to health problems.
this research aimed to study the ability of both reeds (Phragmites communis) and
poplar trees (Populus nigra) to accumulate Cd and Zn. Where speared naturally prevail on
the sides of the Rumaila River in Jableh town (research site), during 2014-201
5. Average
amount of Cd on studied site was 3.081 ppm dry weight. Compared with the normal range
of soil content from Cd (0.06-1.1 ppm), we found that it is three times the normal upper
limit, indicating site contamination with Cd. The study showed that the Cd concentration in
the reed shoots was 0.031 ppm, while it was up to 0.055 ppm in leaves than that of shoots.
The value of bio-accumulation factor (BF) was 0.014. Also for poplar, the study revealed
predominance of leaves over bark with Cd concentration of 0.034 ppm versus 0.016 ppm
for poplar bark. BF value was 0.02. Regarding average amount of Zn in the soil of studied
site was recorded 116.61 ppm of dry weight. Compared with average range of Zn in
different types of soil (40-100 ppm), we find that it is slightly higher than the normal upper
limit, showing site contamination with Zn. The study stated that the Zn concentration in
reed leaves was 9.05 ppm versus 8.03 in the shoots. BF value was 0.07. Zn concentration
in poplar leaves was the lowest at 5.13 ppm versus 6.07 ppm for the bark. We notice from
these findings that the Zn amount in the parts of poplar plant is approximate. BF value was
0.05. The statistical analysis showed significant superiority of reed to poplar in terms of Cd
accumulation, and the same for Zn.
Studied the distribution coefficient of elemental copper and lead contaminants in the aqueous phase using a Bi-phase system: solid phase (the sands of Palmyra) and liquid phase (water containing the former two elements), where they were sampling sand
samples from different regions in Palmyra to investigate for possible use as an adsorbent for elemental copper the lead from contaminated water, and after adjustment for certain transactions from time mixing phases, granular size, concentration of hydrogen ions, the concentration of the contaminated ingredient, the concentration of rival element (calcium) in addition to the ratio v / m in order to get the best rate for removal of these elements. The removal rate of copper componentamounted to 99.9% using four sites samples of sand a Palmyra, (al qareaten - the third leg to pump crude oil T3 - Alhl field - the valley between Mount aldahek and Sokhna) For lead removal ratio stood at 76.35% for the qareaten and 87.75% of the station the third to pump crude oil and 95 0.0% of the field Alhl and 96.25% of the valley between Mount aldahek and Sukhna. The application of the conditions that we have obtained in the laboratory to industrial water samples from the water income for the unity of treatment in Banias refinery and Water Company Drinaj of the Syrian Company for Oil Transport and the ratio of the removal of lead in the four samples ranging from ( 97.79 - 100)% for water Banias Refinery Company ranged between (83.89 - 88.08)% for water Syrian Company for Oil Transport, while the percentage of removal of the copper in the four samples ranging from (96.52 - 99.37)% for water Banias refinery Company and ranged ratio remove copper from the Syrian Company for Oil Transport water between (82.66 - 96.28)% in four samples.
The samples of bee pollen were collected from inside and outside
the honey beehives of apiaries situated in five different locations of
Latakia; Al-Qardahah, Al-Haffeh, Jableh, Latakia city and Eastern
Entryway to Latakia during the autumn in 2014
. The
concentrations of three heavy metals, zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium
(Cd) were determined in pollen by using atomic absorption.
This study was conducted to determine some heavy minerals in different types of
canned meat sold in the domestic market. Most of those cans were imported and processed
in different countries and they have different brands. The chosen samples after
ashing were
prepared by using concentrated extra pure Nitric and Hydrochloric acids .The ratios of the
minerals )pb , Cd , Ni , Zn , Cu , Mn , Fe ( were determined by Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometry , and the content was expressed as (p.p.m) wet weight. It was observed
that the levels of Lead, Iron, and Cadimum, in all different samples were higher than the
permitted limlts according to the Syrian Standards . The Cu level in both , tuna and sardine
was within the permitted limits, but it was higher in the chicken Lunchoen. The level of
Zinc was within the permitted limits according to the Syrian standards. The highest ratio of
Lead was observed in the sardine imported from Morocco which was 8.765 p.p.m and in
the Lunchoen processed in Syria which was 5.18 p.p.m ,and both ratios are much higher
than the permitted limits according to the Syrian Standards.
We present in this study accumulate of two heavy metals (Fe - Cu) in the tissues of
flowers , leaves , stems and roots of Lamium moschatum Mill.
The study showed that the plant accumulated (Fe - Cu) in different concentrations ,
with an increase i
n the concentration of (Fe) in all samples specially in roots . The highest
concentration of (Cu) was in flowers (1669.23 mlg/kg) , and for (Fe) was in roots (4539.5
mlg/kg) .
The results showed a convergency in the concentrations of (Cu) in the parts of plant
for the same sample (432.62 - 490.75 - 353.409 - 272.73 mlg/kg) in flowers , leaves , stems
and roots in order . but the concentrations of (Fe) in roots was higher than that in flowers ,
leaves and stems for the same sample .
In sample -5- the value of (Fe) in roots was (1124.91 mlg/kg) but in flowers , leaves
and stems at the same sample was ( 234.83 - 218.82 - 205.24 mlg/kg ) in order.
This study was conducted in the Syrian coastal region, and the honey samples have
been collected from eight different sites belonging to the provinces of Latakia and Tartous
during the autumn of 2012. Their content of heavy metals (zinc, copper, le
ad & cadmium)
was estimated by Atomic Absorption at the Higher Institute for Environmental Research at
Tishreen University. The results showed that zinc concentration in the bee honey samples
ranged from 2.86 to 12.64 mg / kg (mean 7.98±3.67), and copper ranged from 0.125 to
0.652 mg / kg (mean 0.328±0.176 ), lead ranged from 0.084 to 0.378 mg / kg (mean
0.205±0.112), cadmium ranged from 0.0002 to 0.0132 mg / kg (mean 0.0053±0.0052). The
results indicated that the largest amounts of heavy metals were found in honey sample
taken from the apiary which is located at the eastern entrance of Latakia city (near Joud
factory), while the lower concentrations of zinc and lead were in Banias area (Wadi Al
Saqi), and the least concentration of copper was in Safita area, and of cadmium was in the
Gablah area (Bani Qahtan Castle).Comparing elements concentration in the studied honey
samples, Zinc concentration was found to be the highest, followed by copper, lead and then
finally cadmium.The results of statistical analysis indicated the existence of significant
differences between the studied sites during the autumn of 2012.
This study aimed to study the accumulative abilities Ricnius Communis & Phragmites Communis for lead and cadmium. This plants are native near the RMAILAH river in JABLAH city.
The plants samples were collected from leafs, wood, and bark for plant sp
ecies, the soil samples were taken at (0-20)cm depth. Concentration of heavy metals were determined in soils and plants with "Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer"
Our results showed that the amounts of pb in the soil samples were 61.89ppm. The concentrations of lead pb in the parts of Ricnius Communis range between 4.3 to 5.81ppm; in the parts of Phragmites Communis range between 1.46 to 2.32ppm. According to statistics analysis Ricnius leaves surpass Ricnius wood and bark with accumulate lead; and Ricnius surpass Phragmites with accumulate lead too.
Our results showed that the amounts of cd in the soil samples were 3.081ppm. The concentrations of Cd in the parts of Ricnius Communis range between 0.031 to 0.061ppm; in the parts of Phragmites Communis range between 0.031-0.055ppm. According to statistics analysis there is no moral differences between Ricnius and Phragmites with accumulate cadmium.
تعد التربة والماء أهم المصادر الطبيعية غالية الثمن التي يستخدمها الإنسان في الزراعة و التمدن ولكن أصبحت عرضة للتلوث على نحو خطير بسبب الأنشطة البشرية حيث ربط الباحثون المشاكل البيئية بالتقدم الصناعي الهائل الذي بدأ في العام 1950 وكذلك بالأنشطة الزراعية والذي بدأ في النصف الأول من القرن العشرين
أصبح تأثير الانسان على البيئة واسع النطاق وقد أدى إلى تغيرات بيئية كثيرة بعضها غير عكوسة ففي حين تكون التغيرات الجيولوجية والبيولوجية لسطح الأرض بطيئة عادة إلا أن الانسان قد تسبب في تغيرات سريعة في العقود الأخيرة
