The Impact

The aim of the work was to assess the impact of a varied level of soil contamination with lead and cadmium ions on selected physiological parameters of prairie cordgrass. The content of photosynthetic pigments in leaves (chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids) and water balance of plants on the basis of two indicators (RWC – relative water content in tissues and WSD – water saturation deficit) were determined. Pot-vegetative experiments were performed using a complete randomization method in a one-factor system. The factor in the first experiment was the level of soil contamination with lead (28.15, 56.30, 112.60 mg Pb · kg soil–1), in the second experiment – the level of soil contamination with cadmium (4.60, 10.00, 18.39 mg Cd · kg soil–1). The levels of soil contamination with lead did not influence the content of chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll in prairie cordgrass leaves. In the case of carotenoids, an increase in their content was demonstrated after introducing lead into the soil at the dose of 28.15 mg Pb · kg soil–1 compared to the control. Soil contamination with cadmium did not affect the content of chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll and carotenoids in the leaves of prairie cordgrass. The highest level of soil contamination with lead contributed to the reduction of chlorophyll b. Lead at doses of 56.30 and 112.60 mg · kg soil-1 caused deterioration in the water balance parameters of the prairie cordgrass. In the case of soil contamination with cadmium, this relationship was demonstrated only for the dose of 10.00 mg Cd · kg soil–1.

Information about the influence of zeolite used as adsorbent to reduce the concentration of Lead and Cadmium in separate links of trophic chain of hydroecosystem namelyn in water, phytoplankton and muscular tissue of Silver carp is given in the article. As a sorbent we used zeolite of Sokirnitsa deposit (village Sokirnitsa, Khust district Transcarpathian region) of fraction 1.0 – 4.0 mm. Investigations were made at the Lviv research station of Institute of fisheries NAAS (Lviv oblast, Horodok region, Velykyi Lyubin). The sorption properties of natural Transcarpathian clinoptilolite towards Lead and Cadmium at dynamic conditions have been studied. The paper represents research results aimed at estimating effectiveness of removing of Lead and Cadmium ions from hydroecosystems using natural mineral–zeolite. The dynamics of heavy metals content at phytoplankton and muscular tissue of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Valenciennes, 1844) was studied. Measurements were perfomed in pond № 24 (12) area 0.14 hectares which is fed by waters of the river Vereshchytsia. The pond depth is 1 – 1.5 meters.  Results of investigations worked out statistically combining the groups. Considerable lowering of ions content of both metals in water was determined. The lowering of cadmium content in muscular tissue of Silver carp was much noticeable than the content of Lead. Results of such investigations are rather actual and perspective and will help to reduce the content of some toxicants in water medium. Improvement of water ecosystems after use of natural sorbents will guarantee ecologically safe products of fish culture and will increase the efficiency of the branch.

Lead And Cadmium

In recent years, the interest in waste water treatment increased to preserve the environment. The objective of this study is the removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution by treated Phragmites biomass (TPB). TPB was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) which indicates the presence of functional groups that may be responsible of metal adsorption such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, sulfonate and carboxylate. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface area analysis using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (BET) illustrated that TPB is nonporous with a small surface area. The influences of various experimental factors were investigated; the proposed method recommended the extraction of Pb+2 and Cd+2 metal ions by TPB at pH 5.0. A contact time of 60 and 45 min was required for the adsorption 50 mL (50 ppm) Pb+2 and Cd+2 respectively to reach equilibrium when 0.10 g TPB was used. The optimum TPB dosage was 0.20 g for adsorption both metal ions when adsorbate solution was 50 mL (50 ppm). Particle sizes of 0.125–0.212 mm showed the best metal ion removal of both metal ions. Thermodynamic study illustrated that both metal ions correlate more with Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, chemisorption of Pb+2 and Cd+2 on TPB was more likely according to kinetic study data.
