Groundwater arsenic contamination poses a significant health risk in coastal region of Bangladesh. However, existing studies have rarely applied advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict arsenic concentrations using comprehensive water qua...
The rapid identification of arsenic speciation is critical for assessing its toxicity and guiding emergency response during water contamination events, yet it remains a significant challenge for current analytical methods. Herein, a novel machine lea...

The Weihe River Basin, located within the Yellow River Basin, is an ecologically important region increasingly threatened by arsenic (As) contamination in surface water, which poses risks to both environmental security and public health. This study c...
In the United States, most people get their drinking water from public water systems, whose quality is regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act; however, an estimated 40 million people rely on unregulated private wells. In Massachusetts ∼500,000 peop...
Site-specific arsenic (As) bioaccessibility data can improve the accuracy of health risk assessments, but direct measurements are costly and time-consuming. Even when available, measured values such as the mean still yield remediation targets below n...

Groundwater is a vital source of drinking water in Bangladesh, with tubewells commonly used, particularly in schools. This study assessed the quality of tubewell water in the southwest region, focusing on iron (Fe), arsenic (As), pH, electrical condu...
In the central and western regions of Jilin Province, excessive groundwater extraction has resulted in elevated levels of fluoride (F) and arsenic (As) in drinking water. Prolonged exposure to these contaminants is linked to endemic health issues, in...

In China, the co-contamination of soil with cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) is one of the most severe forms of combined pollution. Modeling the transfer of Cd and As from co-contaminated soil to crops has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, fiv...
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...
