  The Comparison of Microwave Single Extraction and Sequential Extraction Method for the Fractionation Analysis of Arsenic and Mercury in Saline Sodic Soil

  By Muhammad Waris, Salah Ud Din, Ahmed Raza Sidhu, Saleem Atif, Ahsan Naeem, Sultana Rahman

  Abstract: The present study investigates the chemical partitioning of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) in saline sodic soil samples (SS) from Jamshoro, Sindh Pakistan. The development of Microwave single extraction (MSE) technique based on the reagents used in the BCR three-step sequential extraction scheme (BCR-SES) for partitioning As and Hg in SS. Using CRM BCR-483 as a certified reference material and the standard addition method, the validity of the procedure was …

  Phytochemical Analysis of Organic Compounds as an Indicator of Metal Uptake in Selected Plants

  By Muhammad Waris, Farah NazTalpur, Jameel Ahmed Baig

  Abstract: Plants contain a number of potential chelating agents such as amino acids, organic acids, peptides, and proteins, etc. These chelating compounds are very important for the physiological processes in plants. In addition, these ligands are found in both hyperaccumulator and non-hyperaccumulator plants and play a vital role in metal uptake from contaminated soil. Many organic compounds have been found to bind and accumulate trace and toxic metals in hyperaccumulating plants. …
