Seafood can be contaminated by heavy metals that contained in seawater and the source of food that marine biotas eats. Cadmium is one of the contaminants found in the marine environment. Bioaccumulation studies via foood pathway were complement previous studies through the seawater pathway. This study also made an effort to biologically decontaminate cadmium using acetic acid and citric acid. The experimental results showed the total bioaccumulation ability of Cd by Perna viridis was 74.01. Cd decontamination which accumulates in the Perna viridis decreases the level up to 21%

There are many studies addressing plant responses to radioactive and chemical contamination of soils, but few works have been devoted to comparison of biological effects in the areas affected by these human-induced factors. Ionizing radiation and heavy metals have different mechanisms of interaction with biota. Both factors, however, are capable of increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species, which cause enzyme malfunction and cell structure damage. The efficiency of antioxidant systems plays an important role in plant resistance to these impacts. The present study offers a comparative evaluation of prooxidant/antioxidant balance in seed progeny of Plantago major L. growing in the East Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT), in the zone affected by operation of the Karabash Copper Smelter (KCS), and in the reference sites. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by determining malondialdehyde. Evaluation of the antioxidant system was based on the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and total peroxidase, and on the content of low-molecular-weight antioxidants. The study showed that the prooxidant and antioxidant statuses of seed progeny of P. major from the contaminated sites were different from the reference samples and from each other. The pooled EURT sample exhibited a prooxidant shift relative to the reference samples, i. e. not only malondialdehyde but also activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase and the content of low-molecular-weight antioxidants were higher than in the reference samples. Malondialdehyde content in seedlings from the KCS zone did not differ from the reference values; superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were decreased whereas peroxidase activity was higher compared to the activities of these enzymes in the reference samples. Thus, the differences in the plant adaptive responses to ionizing radiation and heavy metals are caused by the dissimilarities in the induction of reactive oxygen species

The purpose of this article is to make a proposal for the control of heno motita (Tillandsia recurvata), based on the analysis of its environmental function within the atmospheric basin of Tula, to contribute to the solution of a state forest problem. Its approach is quantitative experimental since it seeks to explain how the application of 5% acetic acid and 80g / l sodium bicarbonate affects the emergence of new shoots and the Hay Motita plant directly, as well as to identify the function that said plant fulfills. within the microenvironment. The findings show that heno motita is a plant that seeks a support to capture nutrients from the air, however, shading causes the host plant to decrease its efficiency in capturing energy, likewise there is mechanical damage due to its weight and a chemical one since it secretes an allelopathic substance that damages the new shoots. On the other hand, Tillandsia recurvata "sequesters" particles of different materials such as heavy metals in its trichomes, thus contributing to the sanitation of the atmosphere. Finally, the steps to follow to develop a specific management program are proposed.

Ớt xiêm rừng là loại cây gia vị có vị cay nồng đặc trưng, mọc tự nhiên trong rừng ở một số khu vực miền núi và trung du phía Bắc và miền Trung nước ta. Việc chế biến sản phẩm muối chua giúp đa dạng hóa và tăng khả năng tiêu thụ sản phẩm từ ớt xiêm tươi do tác dụng kéo dài thời gian bảo quản của phương pháp lên men. Ớt nguyên liệu đạt yêu cầu chế biến về cả màu sắc và giá trị dinh dưỡng, đặc biệt là không có sự có mặt của kim loại nặng (thường có do sự sử dụng thuốc bảo vệ thực vật). Thành phần các nguyên vật liệu trong dịch rót có yếu tố quyết định đến khả năng lên men, sự điều vị và các chỉ tiêu chất lượng của sản phẩm với tỷ lệ thích hợp cho sản phẩm ớt xiêm rừng muối chua. Nghiên cứu này khảo sát các nguyên liệu phối chế ở các nồng độ tương ứng là acetic acid (0,72%, 0,9%, 1,08% và 1,26%); muối (4,2%, 5,2%, 6,2% và 7,2%) và đường (5,5%, 6,5%, 7,5%, 8,5%). Kết quả xác định được công thức thích hợp là acid acetic 0,9%, muối ăn (NaCl) 5,2%, đường (saccharose) 7,5%. Sản phẩm làm ra đảm bảo chất lượng vệ sinh an toàn thực phẩm do không có sự có mặt của các kim loại nặng và các chỉ tiêu vi sinh vật đều trong giới hạn cho phép theo Tiêu chuẩn Việt Nam. ABSTRACT Local chili (Ot xiem), spicy chili which has strong taste, popularly distributed in the mountainous areas in the Northern and Central regions of Vietnam. Fermentation helps the chili increase the sensoly values and extend of its shelflife. This study showed that chili has met the requirements of processing for color and nutritional factors, especially it did not contain heavy metals derived from insecticides and herbicides. The ingredients and their ratios in the solution play an important role in the fermentation ability, taste modification, and other quality characteristics of the product. This study screened for the compatible ratios of acetic acid (0.72%, 0.9%, 1.08% and 1.26%); salt (4.2%, 5.2%, 6.2% và 7.2%) and sugar (5.5%, 6.5%, 7.5%, 8.5%). The results indicated that the appropriate ratios of acetic acid, salt, and sugar were 0.9%, 5.2%, and 7.5%, respectively. The product has met the requirements of food safety, especially it did not contain heavy metals and bacteria at the level of restriction requirements according to Vietnamese National Standards (TCVN) for fermented vegetables.
