Essential metal and metalloid elements in the Philippi Horticultural area, and their uptake into selected vegetable crops
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
This study evaluated Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Se, Sn and V status in the soils of the PHA, as well as the vegetables produced on these soils. We also determined the agronomic sources of these elements to the soils in the PHA. ...
Few-layer binder free graphene modified mercury film electrode for trace metal analysis by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry
(ESG, 2013)
A binding agent free graphene modified glassy carbon electrode in combination with an in situ plated mercury film electrode (Gr-GC-HgFE) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical platform for the determination of Zn2+, ...
Decoding heavy metal stress signalling in plants: Towards improved food security and safety
(MDPI, 2020)
The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution, leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant cells often leads to cellular damage ...
Heavy metals in the irrigation water, soils and vegetables in the Philippi horticultural area in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
The aims of this study were to investigate the
extent of heavy metal contamination in the Philippi
horticultural area in the Western Cape Province, South
Africa. Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn
were ...
Degradation of hydrocarbons and heavy metal reduction by marine bacteria in highly contaminated sediments
(MDPI, 2020)
Investigations on the ability of bacteria to enhance removal of hydrocarbons and reduce heavy metal toxicity in sediments are necessary to design more effective bioremediation strategies. In this study, five bacterial ...
