Our systematic investigation of HindII restriction enzyme buffer optimization reveals several critical factors: (1) Overcoming Inhibitory Sample Contaminants Environmental and clinical samples often contain PCR inhibitors that similarly impact restriction digestion. For soil-derived DNA, humic acid contamination significantly inhibits HindII ...

Generic Assessment Criteria (GAC) in the United Kingdom aims at supplementing the Soil Guideline Values (SGV) which were established by the Environment Agency of England and Wales.The EIC/AGS/CL: AIRE GAC refers to a scientific screening technique established using the Contaminated Land Exposure Assessment (CLEA) framework which utilizes generic assumptions ...
Prior land use was for “El Centro Motors”, an automobile dealership and service facility. There was some contamination in the soil & groundwater due to underground storage ...

Factors to consider when setting up a cleaning regimen: Soils: Choose a cleaner that will best attack the soils you are trying to remove. Enzyme cleaners are often used for medical device cleaning applications since they work well at removing organic soils. Protease enzymes in particular are a good choice for protein based organic ...
As nickel contaminated plants are very harmful for the consumption by living organisms. Nickel can be gathered in agronomic soils by anthropogenic actions such as Ni-Cd batteries. In this study, the growth, physiological, photosynthetic and biochemical responses of Spinacia oleracea grown in Ni-spiked soil (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg Ni/Kg ...
The authors initiated a field experiment whereby a series of replicated plots received annual applications of ivermectin, monensin and zinc bacitracin, either singly or in a mixture. Pharmaceuticals were added at concentrations of 0.1 mg/ kg soil, or 10 mg/kg soil. The authors collected soil samples in 2013, before and following the fourth annual application of pharmaceuticals. In addition, a ...
Poor sanitation can contaminate drinking water, especially in rural areas. Unless properly dealt with, faeces and other human waste can pollute the soil and eventually wells, causing diseases such as diarrhoea. ...
These environmental hazards include air emissions from nearby businesses as nail salons, dry cleaners, industrial facilities, chemical plants, and even trucking facilities. Further, contaminated drinking water and contaminated soil in playgrounds also prompted the NJ Governor to take this immediate action. ...
Phytoremediation is an environmental technology for the cleaning of polluted soils using plants that needs the knowledge about transport and fate of pollutants for the best clean-up strategy, this knowledge consists in understanding the physiological processes inside plants. Some of these biological processes that can contribute to the containment and/or remediation of ...
Chemical and physical characterisation, nutritive and organic contents, and trace elements presence were also investigated. The contamination effects on soil functional qualities and plant nutrition were evaluated; furthermore DNA damage with short-term genotoxicity tests and DNA biosensor on polluted soils and gravitational water, was detected. ...
The effect of crude oil contaminated soil at various sublethal concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) on the growth and metabolism of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seedlings was studied. ...
