Pollution Indices, Floral Coverage and Newly Enzymatic Biomarker for Soil Heavy Metal Contamination Due to Industrial Activities At 6th October City, Egypt
Abstract:The current study aims to investigate the environmental effect of industrial activities on floral coverage within the major industrial district of 6th October City, Egypt. Additionally, assess the Detoxification enzymatic activity of Cataglyphis saviginyi as a pollution biomarker. To achieve this objective, soil samples on seasonal bases were collected from the investigated areas to assess heavy metal concentrations. Furthermore, seasonal specimens of C. saviginyi were collected to study the enzymatic activity… Show more
