Comparison of digestion methods using atomic absorption spectrometry for the de...
Bankaji, Insaf; Kouki, Rim; Dridi, Nesrine; Hidouri, Saida; Duarte, Bernardo; Sleimi, Noomene; Caçador, Isabel; Ferreira, RenataTrace metal elements (TMEs) are among the most important types of pollutants in the environment. Therefore, a precise determination of these contaminants in several environmental components is required for the safety assurance of living organisms. Spectroscopic analysis is an efficient technique employed to detect and determine TME contents in numerous samples. Hence, to achieve reliable and accurate results wh...
Assessing of tolerance to metallic and saline stresses in the halophyte Suaeda ...
Bankaji, Insaf; Caçador, Isabel; Sleimi, NoomeneMany areas are simultaneously affected by high concentrations of salts and trace metal elements (TME), the latter constituting a serious threat to human health. In the present study, we determined the combined effect of high salinity and toxic levels of trace elements on physiological behavior of the halophytic species Suaeda fruticosa. Plants were cultivated for three months with an irrigation solution supplem...
Growth, chlorophyll fluorescence and mineral nutrition in the halophyte Tamarix...
Sghaier, Dhouha Belhaj; Duarte, Bernardo; Bankaji, Insaf; Caçador, Isabel; Sleimi, NoomeneTrace metal elements can cause various environmental and health issues due to their accumulation and integration in the food chain. In the present study, we determined the major toxic effects of arsenic on physiological behaviour of plants. For this propose, several combinations of high salinity and arsenic (As) concentrations were applied to the halophytic shrub, Tamarix gallica, by growing for three months wi...
