The purpose of the study is to assess environmental contamination by species eggs in public places in the city of Ilam, Ilam Province, southwest Iran.
Between September 2018 and March 2019, 130 soil samples were collected from public places of 5 district municipalities of Ilam, southwest Iran. Soil samples were examined by microscopy following flotation method by sodium nitrate.
Soil analysis showed that 5.88% of the soils stored, 52.54% from gardens, 29.42% from rubbish, and 11.72% from green spaces were contaminated with spp. eggs. In total, 13.08 % of soil samples (17/130) were positive for eggs (P > 0.05).
The findings revealed that care should be taken when using soil from gardens, green spaces and rubbish, and also should be seriously considered because of the potential issues of toxocariasis and also the risk to the public.
本研究旨在评估伊朗西南部伊拉姆省伊拉姆市公共场所受物种卵污染的情况。
2018年9月至2019年3月期间,从伊朗西南部伊拉姆市5个区市的公共场所采集了130份土壤样本。土壤样本采用硝酸钠浮选法后通过显微镜检查。
土壤分析表明,储存土壤的5.88%、花园土壤的52.54%、垃圾土壤的29.42%和绿地土壤的11.72%被物种卵污染。总体而言,13.08%的土壤样本(17/130)的物种卵呈阳性(P>0.05)。
研究结果表明,在使用花园、绿地和垃圾场的土壤时应谨慎,同时由于潜在的弓蛔虫病问题以及对公众的风险,也应予以认真考虑。
