Systematic facile study of singleton e-waste recycling site to unveil the potential bio-indicator for atmospheric heavy metals by using tree leaves

Monitoring of heavy metal pollution by using populus nigra and cedrus libani

“…The commonly investigated species among the wide variety of trees used as biomonitors of atmospheric pollution are some of the fast-growing trees belonging to the genera Cedrus and Populus. Many studies have shown that various species of Populus and Cedrus can tolerate and accumulate high concentrations of heavy metals in above grounds tissues [23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Chemical–Electrochemical Process Concept for Lead Recovery from Waste Cathode Ray Tube Glass

“…A CRT is composed of two different types of glass, from which one is used for the funnel and neck sections, characterized by high levels of lead oxide and another used for the screen which is typically a non-leaded glass that contains high levels of barium oxide [ 8 ]. Recycling of lead from waste CRT glass is an important issue because lead is classified as a neurotoxin that can accumulate in the soft tissues and bones, causing serious health issues [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The high content of lead oxide (23%) in CRT funnel glasses is an important factor that limits its landfill storage and the recycling process, as result many states have passed bans on putting CRTs in landfills or incinerators [ 12 , 13 ].…”
