title: A simple procedure for reducing lead content in fish.
abstract: The efficiencies of medicinal herbs (damaseisa, and rosemary); plants solutions (radish and barley); polypeptide solutions (nisin); neutral solutions (sodium chloride) and acidic solutions (acetic acid), as well as tap water, in the elimination of lead from naturally contaminated bolty fish were examined. The results indicate the efficient role of washing by nisin, damaseisa, radish, barley and rosemary compared with acetic acid and sodium sodium chloride solutions. It was noticed that nisin and damaseisa solutions (10%) eliminated lead completely. On the other hand, washing with tap water provided the least effective role in elimination of lead from fish.
