1. Introduction. Heavy metals comprise a loosely defined group of elements that include transition metals and some metalloids. These elements affect cells and living organisms in various ways; some heavy metals have essential functions (e.g., iron, zinc, copper, manganese) and are toxic only in an overdose, whereas others are xenobiotic …
Precipitation is a method in which contaminants (in dissolved or suspended form) are separated from the solution as a sediment, which can then be filtered, centrifuged, or otherwise separated from the liquid part (US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) 2000, Fu and Wang 2011).The precipitate forms as a result of the formation of a complex …

average concentrations of cadmium are 0.66, 1.1, and 2.0 ug/L, respectively, and the 1-hour average concentrations are 1.8, 3.9 and 8.6 ug/L. If brook trout, brown trout, and striped bass are as sensitive as some data indicate, they might not be protected by this criterion. Human health criteria are designed to protect people from exposure ...
Cadmium occurs usually up to 5 μg/L in soil water ( Smolders and Mertens, 2013) and up to 1 μg/L in groundwater ( Naseem et al., 2014 ). In groundwater in Pakistan, mean Cd concentrations of 10 μg/L originated from Jurassic sulfide-bearing sedimentary …

Cadmium is the main contributor to the health risks associated with metals in tobacco smoke [47,48]. Mechanisms of cadmium toxicity such as disruption of biogenic element metabolism, DNA damage repair inhibition, induction of oxidative stress and inflammatory processes, among others, have been described [49,50,51].
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that is widely distributed in the environment. Both geogenic and anthropogenic sources can elevate Cd concentrations in soils and groundwater, which are important for maintaining healthy supplies of food and safe drinking water. Elevated Cd doses are car …
When levels of K2HPO4 higher than 0.75 g/L were applied, the total Cd decreased from 20 to 3.8 μg/L after 12 h of flocculation, i.e., the removal efficiency reached 80%.
Regarding heavy metals, the estimated percent of total adsorbed metals removal is smaller than the total percent of solids removed, as shown in Table 2. A substantial portion of adsorbed metals, however, is removed by sedimentation of large particles. It is important to note the values listed in Table 2 only represent the removal of adsorbed ...
