Evaluation of multi-heavy metal tolerance traits of soil-borne fungi for simultaneous removal of hazardous metals
The objective of the present study was to isolate the fungi from the agricultural soil of Kashmir valley, investigate their multi-metal tolerance to heavy metals and evaluate the metal uptake capacities of the resistant fungi. The fungi were isolated and identified on the basis of morphological and molecular approach (ITS1 and ITS4). The tolerance limits of the isolated fungal strains to various doses of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co) was evaluated. Five fungal strains,Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium verticillioides,Aspergillus fischeri, Epicoccu...

Metal Ion Release in Cancer Patients Following Megaprosthesis Salvage Surgery
Megaprostheses contain many more modular components than conventional total hip and knee arthroplasty, which may lead to higher serum levels of metal ions. The aim of this study was to determine serum concentrations of titanium, chromium, and cobalt ions in cancer patients after limb salvage surgery with a megaprosthesis.

Growth-dependent cr(VI) reduction by Alteromonas sp. ORB2 under haloalkaline conditions: toxicity, removal mechanism and effect of heavy metals
This study investigated Cr(VI) reduction under complex haloalkaline conditions by anAlteromonas sp. ORB2 isolated from aerobic granular sludge cultivated from the seawater-microbiome. Optimum growth ofAlteromonas sp. ORB2 was observed under haloalkaline conditions at 3.5 –9.5% NaCl and pH 7–11. The bacterial growth in normal culture conditions (3.5% NaCl; pH 7.6) was not inhibited by 100 mg/l Cr(VI)/ As(V)/ Pb(II), 50 mg/l Cu(II) or 5 mg/l Cd(II). Near complete reduction of 100 mg/l Cr(VI) was achieved within 24 h at 3.5–7.5% NaCl and pH 8–11. Cr(VI) re duction byAlteromonassp. ORB2 was not inhibited by 100 ...

Probabilistic risk assessment of residential exposure to electric arc furnace steel slag using Bayesian model of relative bioavailability and PBPK modeling of manganese
AbstractElectric arc furnace (EAF) slag is a coproduct of steel production used primarily for construction purposes. Some applications of EAF slag result in residential exposures by incidental ingestion and inhalation of airborne dust. To evaluate potential health risks, an EAF slag characterization program was conducted to measure concentrations of metals and leaching potential (including oral bioaccessibility) in 38 EAF slag samples. Arsenic, hexavalent chromium, iron, vanadium, and manganese (Mn) were identified as constituents of interest (COIs). Using a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) approach, estimated distribut...
