Adsorption of benzene and naphthalene to modified montmorillonite
(2005)This study aims to characterize the adsorption pattern of benzene and naphthalene on montmorillonite modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA), tetramethylammonium (TMA), tetraethylammonium (TEA), tetrabutylammonium ... -
Adsorption of bromoxynil by modified bentonite: influence of pH and temperature
(Pesticide Science Society of Japan, 2010)This study investigates the adsorption behavior of bromoxynil under various pH and temperature conditions. Organo-bentonite complexes were prepared and used as adsorbents for bromoxynil. The concentrations of bromoxynil ... -
Adsorption of phenanthrene on organoclays from distilled and saline water
(Academic Press, 2004)Isotherms of phenanthrene adsorption on different organoclay complexes were obtained using the HPLC technique to understand the adsorption behavior and to characterize the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) on the adsorption. ... -
Anti-malarial drug targets: screening for inhibitors of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate synthase (IspC protein) in Mediterranean plants
(Urban & Fischer, 2007)The recently discovered non-mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis serves as the unique source of terpenoids in numerous pathogenic eubacteria and in apicoplast-type protozoa, most notably Plasmodium, but is absent ... -
Bioremediation of acetochlor in soil and water systems by cyanobacterial mat
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)This study investigated the bioremediation of organic pollution in soil and water systems by cyanobacterial mats collected from Wadi Gaza. Acetochlor, a model compound of herbicide, was used as a standard organic pollutant. ... -
Bioremediation of diuron in soil environment: influence of cyanobacterial mat
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)Diuron is a herbicide widely used in the Middle East; its field application creates many environmental problems. This study investigated the bioremediation of Diuron in soil environment by Cyanobacterial mats collected ... -
Contamination of Plant Food by Organic Chemichals: Food Safety Status: Problems and Recommendations
(Scientific Research Publishing, Inc,, 2002)Application of mineral fertilizers such as Nitrate or urea derivatives to crops is an essential agricultural step for fruits and vegetable production. This step may lead to accumulation of Nitrate levels in fruit and ... -
Effect of treated waste water irrigation on plant growth and soil properties in Gaza Strip, Palestine
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)This study investigated the effect of treated wastewater (TWW) irrigation on growth of Chinese cabbage and corn and on soil properties in Gaza Strip, Palestine. Chinese cabbage and corn were planted in winter and summer ... -
Hematological biomarkers in farm workers exposed to organophosphorus pesticides in the Gaza Strip
(Heldref, 2005)To assess serum cholinesterase levels and symptoms among farm workers who used mainly organophosphorus pesticides in the Gaza Strip, the authors took blood samples from and administered symptom questionnaires to an ... -
Knowledge, attitude, practice, and toxicity symptoms associated with pesticide use among farm workers in the Gaza Strip
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, 2002)Aims: To assess knowledge, attitude, practice, and toxicity symptoms associated with pesticide use and exposure among 189 farm workers in the Gaza Strip. Methods: A cross section of agricultural farm workers in the Gaza ... -
Monitoring of pesticide residues on cucumber, tomatoes and strawberries in Gaza Governorates, Palestine
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH, 2002)Three techniques of gas chromatography (GC) either with flame photometric‐detector (FPD( electron capture detector (ECD( or with mass‐spectrometry (MS) were applied for identification and quantification of pesticide residues ... -
Mutagenic and carcinogenic pesticides used in the agricultural environment of Gaza Strip
(Elsevier, 1993)More than 100 metric tons of formulated pesticides (about 75 pesticides) are used annually in Gaza Strip. It was found that 19 of these pesticides, that have been used, are internationally suspended, cancelled and banned ... -
Removal of Organic Pollutant from Water by Modified Bentonite
(InTech, 2012)2. Materials and methods Materials. Ca 2+-bentonite clay (M48) with cation exchange capacity (CEC) equivalent to 960 mmol (+) kg-1 (= 0.96 meq g-1)[16] was used. The organic salts used are: N-cetylpyridinium bromide (NCP+ ... -
Removal of pesticide residues from water by organo-bentonites
(2008)Contamination of water resources with pesticides residues becomes a pressing problem in Gaza due to the frequent application of pesticides in the intensive agricultural system. This study tests the potential of using ... -
Small scale stratification of microbial activity parameters in Mediterranean soils under freshwater and treated wastewater irrigation
(Pergamon, 2014)Using treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation is a common practice in many water-scarce countries. Apart from the beneficial effects associated with the nutrient load and organic substrates, some negative effects ... -
