Abstract The trace heavy metal contents of twenty four textile samples produced in Turkey have been determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after separation/preconcentration procedures including solid phase extraction and coprecipitation. The levels of the investigated ions in textile material were found to be below the values given by Oeko-Tex with some exceptions for lead and nickel for baby clothing.

Abstract Menkes disease is a lethal genetic disorder of copper transport in humans. Its current treatment is the administration of copper–l-histidine complex. However, this therapy is only effective in some cases and when started early in life. In order to develop an improved treatment, copper(II) mixed ligand amino acid complexes were studied because these complexes play an important role in the physiological copper pathway. A promising strategy is the administration of l-histidine–copper(II)–l-glutamine complex, which has been reported to be the predominant low molecular-weight copper(II) complex in human blood serum. Before the biopharmaceutical studies of l-histidine–copper(II)–l-glutamine complex, a physicochemical study of this ternary system must be performed. The stoichiometry and the stability of l-histidine–copper(II)–l-glutamine relative to copper(II)–l-histidine and copper(II)–l-glutamine were established at pH 7 in solution by polarography and UV–visible spectroscopy. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that the species [Cu(His)2] and [Cu(His)2(OH)] coexist in the same solution. This study has been complemented by EPR analysis which suggests copper in [Cu(His)(Gln)] complex has a distorted octahedral geometry. The first shell of copper coordination is 3 N, 1 O, histidine, and glutarnine being bidentate.

Abstract This study was performed in order to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in bone samples of two historic (18th century) population groups from the Canary Islands (La Concepción and San Francisco), comparing the results with those obtained in modern inhabitants. We found that historic individuals from La Concepción (Tenerife) and San Francisco (Gran Canaria) showed significantly lower bone lead (8.84 ± 13.41 mg/kg and 6.73 ± 4.06 mg/kg, respectively) than the modern population (30.53 ± 14.62 mg/kg). On the contrary, bone cadmium, although slightly lower in the ancient population groups, was not significantly different when compared with the modern one. Bone lead and cadmium kept, however, a significant relationship among the individuals from La Concepción, suggesting a common source of exposure.

Abstract The distribution of natural 40K, 226Ra and 228Ra and artificial 137Cs has been investigated in nonvascular mosses (9 species) and lichens (10 species) and vascular gymnosperm (1 species), angiosperm trees and shrubs (3 species) over the Kozani-Ptolemaïda-Amynteon lignite basin in West Macedonia, Greece. Four lignite power plants producing about 70% of the electric energy of the country are to be found in this region. Both specific activity and transfer factors of these radionuclides have been determined by means of experiments. This study indicates that with regard to 226Ra and 137Cs, nonvascular lichens and mosses have a much higher transfer factor (2.27 for 226Ra and 43.77 137Cs) compared with vascular plants (0.17 for 226Ra and 0.03 137Cs), but a lower one for natural 40K (0.493 for lichens and mosses and respectively 1.190 for vascular plants). Compared with unpolluted areas (0.25 Bq/kg), the 226Ra specific activity in lichens and mosses was systematically higher (26.43 and 56.74 Bq/kg respectively).

Abstract Electrochemical oxidation of l-ascorbic acid by a chlorpromazine and a potassium iodide at a platinum electrode in 5 × 10−1 M K2SO4 + 5 × 10−1 M KHSO4 has been studied. l-Ascorbic acid was the oxidation product, which has been verified by spectrophotometry and potentiometry. The rate constant for the catalytic reaction was evaluated as (6.4 ± 0.05) × 103 M−1 s−1 for a chlorpromazine and as (7.4 ± 0.04) × 103 M−1 s−1 for a potassium iodide. Experimental conditions, which maximize the current efficiency of this electrochemical oxidation, such as pH value and the concentration of the catalyst, were also investigated and discussed in this article.

Abstract Vegetation samples were collected at 112 locations on the Croatian island Krk in the northern Adriatic sea. The collected samples were analyzed for 12 chemical elements (Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Pb) by EDXRF method. For all of the measured elements concentration maps for the island were produced using kriging gridding methodology. This was done in order to relate variations in chemical composition of vegetation with that of soils as well as to the soil type, local environment, prevalent use of soil, and other antropogenic influences. Concentrations maps for the chemical elements have also been used in the evaluation of chemical elements transfer from plants to grazing animals, and eventually to the inhabitants of the island. Elemental transfer from the soil to the plants was confirmed by canonical correlation analysis. Good positive correlation between elemental concentration in soil and grass samples (canonical R = 0.647) was found.

Abstract The subcutaneous delivery of iodinated bovine serum albumin (I-BSA) incorporated into a barium alginate hydrogel matrix, synthesized from barium bromide, was monitored in vivo by radioisotope-induced X-ray fluorescence. By measuring the iodine, barium, and bromine X-ray fluorescence signals, we were able to simultaneously monitor the status of an entrapped protein, the hydrogel delivery device, and the spectator ions in the hydrogel. The release of the labeled protein followed first-order kinetics with half-lives of 6 h for the I-BSA in phosphate buffer solution up to 28 h for the I-BSA incorporated in the alginate hydrogel. The degradation of the barium alginate hydrogel was biphasic, and the disappearance of the bromide spectator ion from the hydrogel was well described by Fickian diffusion.

Abstract Plants and aqueous extracts of Alternanthera maritima (aerial parts and roots), Alternanthera brasiliana and Alternanthera tenella colla (total plant) were selected for analysis of metals bioaccumulation. The synchrotron radiation total reflection X-ray fluorescence (SRTXRF) was used for excitation of the samples and a Si(Li) detector for the detection of the characteristic X-rays emitted by the sample elements. The elements P, S, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr were detected in all samples. Further-more Al, Si, Cl, Ni, Br, Rb, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hg, and Pb in Alternanthera maritima samples; Si, Co, Cd, Sn, Sb, and Ce in Alternanthera brasiliana and Al, Si, Co, Ni, Br, Cd, Sn, Sb, and Ce in Alternanthera tenella colla were found. The concentration obtained in the samples for K-shell lines varied from 1.63 µg g−1 for Ni to 3.34 × 105 µg g−1for K, and for L-shell the values ranged from 1.64 x 101 µg g−1 for Cd to 6.71 × 102 µg g−1 for Sn.

Abstract Salt stress alters the meristem size, the mitotic index, the progress of cell division and the size of the cortical cells in wheat roots. The effects are usually more, but not much more pronounced with the sensitive species Triticum aestivum (var. Tanit) than they are with the more tolerant species Triticum durum (var. Ben Béchir). It may be that the main mechanisms responsible for the relative sensitivity/tolerance of wheat to salt stress are not localized in the root system.

Abstract In this present work, we have measured the selenium content in different foods frequently consumed in the region of Algiers. A nutritional deficiency in selenium is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, muscular dystrophy and hepatic necrosis. Freeze-dried samples of food were collected and measured by INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis). We have established the annual consumption of selenium for five socio-professional categories, on the basis of data given by government agencies. We have determined the mean of selenium daily consumption by people in the region of Algiers as 130 µg per day and concluded that the daily selenium contribution in the region of Algiers is satisfactory.
