    Abstract: Surfactant is pollutants that enter in to water ecosystem through industrial and urban sewages. The objective of this project is to determine the level of LAS and seasonal trend in eight different station of the Anzali wetland and compare them with maximum allowable value. In the study 96 samples of water were extracted by liquid–liquid method and ... Show More

    Abstract: Phycoremediation involves the remediation of contaminants in a water body using algae (micro and macro). Algae fix carbon-dioxide by photosynthesis and remove excess nutrients effectively at minimal cost. It removes pathogens and toxic materials from waste water. Xenobiotics, chemicals and heavy metals are known to be detoxified, transform, accumul... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, the fluorescence spectra of Enrofloxacin (ENR) in different pH conditions was studied in order to determine its structural changes due to protonation with pH changes. The ENR two-step dissociation constant is calculated and the fluorescence quantum yield under acidic conditions is measured. In the strong acidic conditions, ENR exists... Show More

    Abstract: The reaction mechanism of rhodamine B (RHB) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy at different temperatures (298 K, 310 K and 318 K). The results showed that electrostatic force played a major role on the conjugation reaction between BSA and RHB, and the type of qu... Show More

    Abstract: Diarrhea is the third most fatal disease in the developing countries. Approximately 611,000 children die each year due to effect of rotavirus infection. Rotavirus also causes gastroenteritis in adults and it is the main cases of travellers’ diarrhea. After initial contact, children are more susceptible to be affected with diarrhoeal illnesses of an... Show More

    Abstract: Study aim: More is still to be known about the combinative effect of lead and arsenic compounds on critical organs. In this study, the effect of single and combined exposure to lead and arsenic on some biomarkers associated with liver and kidney functions in healthy Wistar rats was assessed. Method: The rats were divided into four groups (n = 5) an... Show More
