Levels of cadmium, manganese and lead in water and algae; Spirogyra aequinoctialis
This study assessed the ability of filamentous green algae; Spirogyra aequinoctialis to accumulate manganese, cadmium and lead from water. Water pH was also determined. Samples of S. aequinoctialis and their respective water environments were taken from designated sampling points in the city of Blantyre and Malawi during the rainy and dry season in order to capture seasonal variations. The ...

Retention and distribution of Cu, Pb, Cr, and Zn in a full-scale hybrid constructed wetland receiving municipal sewage
This study was conducted to investigate the retention and distribution of Cu, Pb, Cr, and Zn in a hybrid constructed wetland (CW) that consists of both vertical baffled flow wetlands (VBFWs) and horizontal subsurface flow wetlands (HSSFs) with unique flow regimes and oxygen distribution. The heavy metal concentrations in water, sediments, and plant tissues in the hybrid CW were analysed. The ...

Analysis of trace metals in drinking water with the optima 7000 DV ICP-OES
With the development of mining, smelting and other industrial activities, heavy metals are increasingly being found in freshwater sources which can pose severe threats to human and environmental health. Pollution by heavy metals (such as Cd, Pb, etc.) not only affects the productivity of crops, but also the quality of the atmosphere as well as water bodies and threatens the health and life of ...

FPI’s Water Quality Analyzer Makes Water Pollutants Nowhere to Hide
One of the leading global challenges in the 21 century is poor water quality, which threatens human health and reduces other ecosystem functions. Recent studies show that one out of nine people drinks contaminated water or water sourced from unapproved water sources. Therefore, various governments and organizations step up to water monitoring, including the effects of the huge number of ...
