And analyses of the soot detected high levels of metals such as titanium, chromium, manganese, iron, and nickel, which are released by the burning of coal.
In the dead galaxies they detected high levels of metals, which build up during star formation and point to a slow strangulation process.
Exposure to high levels of metals can coax proteins called prions to adopt an abnormal disease-causing conformation, the researchers found.
Our results are in line with recent studies, which found high levels of metals in vegetables from areas adjacent to the South Industrial Platform Timisoara [29].
Drinking water containing high levels of metals, such as cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc or toxic metals such as aluminium, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver, may be hazardous to health.
According to Shallari et al. [35] C. intybus had 1 mg/kg DW Cd, 17 mg kg−1 DW Ni, and 35 mg kg−1 DW Pb, when it grown on a soil contained high levels of metals.
Thus, quite high levels of metal ions exist in the both the intact and low molecular mass portions except for Cu.
This study reports relatively high levels of metal ions in red wine, which give a very high THQ value suggesting potential hazardous exposure over a lifetime for those who consume at least 250 mL daily.
In this agricultural area, urban waste water has been spread for more than 100 years by flooding irrigation for food crop production and has led to high levels of metal pollution in the surface horizons of the soils.
High levels of metal contaminants have been measured in tissues in many areas of the globe.
