Abstract The study was conducted in the Department of biology - College of Education for Girls - University of Anbar in order to study the effect of cadmium and lead pollution and nitrogen fertilizer sources on the accumulation of heavy metals in the root, the vegetative part, yield and its components of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) during growing season 2020-2021, Where the experiment was carried out in pots containing 20 kg of soil. The experiment was designed according to a randomized complete block design and in the order of factorial experiments with three replications. The experiment included two factors, the first factor is three concentrations of the elements lead and cadmium (0, 40, 80 mg liter -1), and the second factor is three types of nitrogen fertilizer sources are (ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4, ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 and urea CO(NH2)2). The experiment was planted and irrigated with the three nitrogen fertilizer sources on 1/11/2020. After 14 days of planting, heavy metals were added to the soil in the above-mentioned concentrations in the form of two batches. The weight of 1000 grains/g and the concentration of heavy elements (Pb, Cd) in the root, vegetative and grains after harvest were calculated. The results of the study showed: The barley plant had the ability to accumulate heavy elements in the different parts of the plant, and their concentration in the root system was the highest, then the vegetative system, then the grain. However, the accumulated amounts of lead were less than cadmium in the roots, as the highest concentrations of lead and cadmium in the roots were (24.78 and 37.22 mg kg-1) and (61.13 and 92.3 mg kg-1). for the concentrations (40 and 80 mg L-1) respectively.

Cadmium And Lead

Every year, pollution by eco-toxicants of natural and anthropogenic origin is becoming more and more acute. Some of the most toxic among them are heavy metals, especially cadmium and lead. These elements do not decompose. Once released into the environment, these elements continue to circulate in water, soil, and air for a very long time, accumulating in plants and livestock products. Therefore, there is a problem of obtaining safe agricultural products in areas contaminated with heavy metals. In animal husbandry, synthetic and natural enterosorbents are used for obtaining safe products. For example, such enterosorbents are shungites, bentonites, diatomites, clays. We tested diatomite from the Kamyshlovskoye deposit at a dose of 5.0 g/kg of feed to reduce cadmium accumulation and lead during their combined intake. We investigated the feed intake of a combination of cadmium and lead at doses of 5.0 and 50.0 mg/kg feed. The result of this experiment is the accumulation of metals in the liver, kidneys, and bones, and, in addition, in the testes. The use of diatomite to reduce the accumulation of heavy metals has not been successful. There is an increase in lead accumulation in the liver, kidneys, and testes. The content of cadmium in diatomite is 3.86 ± 0.20 mg/kg, lead – 105.0 ± 7.2 mg/kg. The results obtained indicate that diatomite as a feed additive to reduce lead and cadmium intoxication did not show protective properties.

Samples of rock deposit dug out from wells at Alimosho local government in Lagos state, Nigeria were characterized for chemical composition and ultimate utilization. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) were used to identify the rock as a mixed clay rock containing 35.04% Illite, 25.64% Illite plus Quartz, 22.20% Kaolinite and 17.09% Feldspar. This was corroborated by cation determination that showed the rock to be predominantly clayey rock. The mean concentrations of lead and copper in water of the wells in the rock location are 0.004mg/L and 0.05mg/L respectively while cadmium is less than detectable limit. The well water in the area studied is therefore not contaminated by these heavy metals. Heavy metals removal by the mixed clay from polluted underground water was studied using AAS. A general increase of sorption was observed with increase in the adsorbent dosage. 20g of the rock adsorbed a higher percentage of copper (80.23%) than lead and cadmium that were 70.25% and 65.83% respectively. The percentage of heavy metals adsorbed confirms the use of mixed clay minerals as a contaminants removal from the underground polluted water. The rock adsorbed copper readily than cadmium and lead. The maximum amount of lead removed from the contaminated underground water of the defunct battery site across the adsorbent dosage (5g, 10g, 15g and 20g) were 1.20mg/L, 3.19mg/L, 3.69mg/L and 4.09mg/L respectively indicating the effect of increase in adsorbent dosage in remediating the lead contaminated water. This data showed that the rock can be used to remove these heavy metals from contaminated water.

Research objective was to identify the specific features of distribution of microelements (zink, manganese, lead, cadmium) in organs and tissues of black-backed shad Alosa kessleri kessleri (Grimm, 1887) and Dolginsky herring Alosa braschnikowii braschnikowii (Borodin, 1904) caught in the Caspian Sea. Accumulated in the tissues and organs of fish in concentrations exceeding the maximum permissible limits, heavy metals pose a danger to human health. Sampling was carried out by the standard techniques, definition of minerals was made by method of atomic and absorbing spectroscopy using an atomic and absorbing spectrometer with electrothermal atomization of MGA-915 MD. The analysis of the obtained data showed that distribution of minerals in the organs and tissues of the studied herring species had a similar pattern: the highest concentrations of minerals were registered in the gills and liver, the smallest - in muscle tissue. In comparison with black-backed shad the organs and tissues of Dolginsky herring had higher concentrations of chemical elements. Zinc has been found to accumulate mainly in the liver; manganese, lead and cadmium - in the gills. Accumulation of zinc, cadmium and lead in the studied bodies and tissues of fishes exceeded acceptable level.

In 2008 and 2009, studies made contents of cadmium and lead in the soil and their uptake by non-traditional plants were studied in a small-plot trial. At the same time also the effect of bio-algeen preparations on phytoextraction of heavy metals by these plants was investigated. Experimental plots were established on the reclaimed land after closing down mining operations in the town of Žacléř (North-East Bohemia) where a layer of sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant 0.6–0.8 m thick was subsequently applied. The locality is situated in the altitude of 612 m, its average annual temperature is about 6.8 °C and the mean annual precipitations are 857 mm. Analyses revealed higher concentrations of heavy metals in the applied sewage sludge. The average concentrations of lead and cadmium were 180 mg . kg−1 and 6.89 mg . kg−1, respectively. The experiment had two variants: Variant 1 – sewage sludge without any other substances, and Variant 2 – sewage sludge + bio-algeen preparations (B. A. S-90 or B. A. Root Concentrate). To find the most suitable plant species for the phytoextraction of cadmium and lead, the following non-traditional plants were cultivated in both variants: fodder mallow (Malva verticillata L.), rye (Secale cereale L. var. multicaule METZG. ex ALEF.) and white sweet clover (Melilotus alba MEDIC.). The highest accumulation of cadmium and lead in the aboveground biomass was found out in rye, viz 14.89 mg . kg−1 DM and 14.89 mg . kg−1 DM of Cd and Pb, respectively., As compared with other plants under study, white sweet clover exhibited the significantly lowest capability to extract both heavy metals from soil (viz 0.22 and 3.20 mg . kg−1 DM of Cd and Pb, respectively). A positive effect of bio-algeen on phytoextraction of cadmium and lead was evident in all plants. The highest yield of aboveground biomass was recorded on the plot with white sweet clover with added alginate (496 g . m−2). Of plants under study, the fodder mallow seems to be the most suitable crop for the phytoextraction of both metals (0.35 and 5.87 mg . m−2 of Cd and Pb, respectively).

The purpose of this research is to know whether the influence of using fertilizer N and P dosage towards the growth and yield of long beans (vigna sinesis L). This research was carried out in Onelako Village, Ndona subdistrict of Ende regency. The method used was Randomized Block Design with two factors of treatments and three replications. The first factor is nitrogen fertilizer which consists of three dosages namely N0: (non-nitrogen fertilizer), N1 (30 kg/ha), N2 (60 kg/ha) and second factor is phosphor fertilizer which comprises three dosage: P0 (non-phosphor fertilizer)), P1 (50 kg/ha) and P2 (100 kg/ha). Observation variables are the diameter of the rod, leaf number, leaf area, pods length, pods diameter, pods number, fresh weight of pods/plants, fresh weight of pods/ha, fresh maximal yield and residues/ha and harvest index. The result showed that no interaction between two factors of treatment (N x P). Nitrogen fertilization treatment of 60 and phosphor with a dosage of 100 kg/ha (P2)  produce the best yields towards all observed variables.  The yields of fresh weight of pods per highest plant is 62,56 gr acquired from plants which get N2 and P2 fertilizer. However, the treatments between N1 and N2 do not have a real difference in all observation variables as well as treatment of P1 and P2.

After accumulating in plants, lead and cadmium of technogenic origin concentrate in forest litter, thus inhibiting the speed of its microbiological decomposition and causing chronic intoxication of saprophage millipedes which feed on it. The 20-day laboratory experiment described in this article determined the toxic impact of lead and cadmium (at concentrations of 0.3, 3, 30, 300, 3,000 and 30,000 mg/kg of litter) on the body weight of Megaphyllum kievense (Lohmander, 1928) and microbiological decomposition of forest litter. The death rate of M. kievense increased from 10–20% to 40% at 3 and 30 g/kg of lead and to 100% at 30 g of cadmium per 1 kg of litter. Gain in body weight of M. kievense reliably decreased only at 3 g/kg of cadmium (0.71 to 0.20 mg/24-hours). Under the influence of lead, gain in body weight reliably decreased compared to the control already at 100 times smaller concentration (30 mg/kg of substrate – 0.74 to 0.10 mg/24-hours). Under the influence of both cadmium and lead, the decomposition of litter by microorganisms is slowed down only under the highest of the studied concentrations (30 g/kg). The results of the laboratory experiment showed high resistance of M. kievense to lead and cadmium, at levels significantly higher than natural concentrations of heavy metals in technogenically transformed ecosystems.

Heavy metals, Lead and Cadmium, are hazardous environmental pollutants. In the body of mammals, Cadmium and Lead have a toxic effect on a number of organs and systems. The mechanism of action of these poisons is to inhibit the activity of enzyme systems by blocking carboxyl, amine and SH groups of protein molecules. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of sodium selenite and feed additive “Metisevit plus” on the morphological parameters of rat blood by Cadmium and Lead intoxication. The experiments were carried out on 200–220 g male Wistar rats, out of which 3 groups of animals were formed: a control and two experimental animals. Rats in the control and experimental groups were administered 16.6 % aqueous lead acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg and 0.029 % aqueous cadmium chloride at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg. The rats of the first experimental group additionally used sodium selenite. The rats of the second experimental group additionally used the feed additive “Metisevit plus”. Lead-cadmium loading in rats was accompanied by erythrocytopenia and leukopenia. The lowest erythrocyte count was in the blood of diseased rats at 21 days, where it decreased by 41.3 %, respectively, compared to the initial values. It was found that hemoglobin level decreased to 90.3 ± 2.63 g/l during Cadmium and Lead intoxication in control rats. At the same time as the decrease in hemoglobin level and the number of erythrocytes in intoxicated rats, an increase in the average hemoglobin content in one erythrocyte of blood was observed up to 20.57 ± 1.20 pg As a result of the development of lead-cadmium intoxication in ill rats, leukopenia was noted, which, in our opinion, is associated with systemic lesions of cadmium and lead in the blood-forming organs of animals that suppress leukopoiesis. It was found that the number of leukocytes in patients of rats of group C decreased by 36.1 % compared with the initial data. The use of sodium selenite and the feed additive “Metisevit plus” in rats under lead-cadmium loading contributed to the increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin level, as well as the decrease in the number of leukocytes in their blood. The improvement of normalizing effect on the morphological parameters of blood of rats under conditions of loading with heavy metals was shown by the feed additive “Metisevit plus” in comparison with sodium selenite.
