Significant spatiotemporal changes in atmospheric particulate mercury pollution in China: Insights from meta-analysis and machine-learning.

The Science of the total environment
PM bound mercury (PBM) in the atmosphere is a major component of total mercury, which is a pollutant of global concern and a potent neurotoxicant when converted to methylmercury. Despite its importance, comprehensive macroanalyses of PBM on large sca...

Global Distribution of Mercury in Foliage Predicted by Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Foliar assimilation of elemental mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere plays a critical role in the global Hg biogeochemical cycle, leading to atmospheric Hg removal and soil Hg insertion. Recent studies have estimated global foliar Hg assimilation; howev...

The adsorption and release mechanism of different aged microplastics toward Hg(II) via batch experiment and the deep learning method.

Chemosphere
Aged microplastics are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment, which inevitably accumulate metals, and then alter their migration. Whereas, the synergistic behavior and effect of microplastics and Hg(II) were rarely reported. In this context, the adso...

A new linear combination method of haplogroup distribution central vectors to model population admixtures.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG
We introduce a novel population genetic approach suitable to model the origin and relationships of populations, using new computation methods analyzing Hg frequency distributions. Hgs were selected into groups which show correlated frequencies in sub...

Hg(II) sensing, catalytic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential of Garcinia mangostana and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles.

Chemosphere
This study reports synthesis of Garcinia mangostana fruit pericarp (unwanted waste material) and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). These AgNPs were efficiently produced using 1:10 (extract and salt) ratio under stirring and heating, ...

Artificial Neural Network Approach for Modelling of Mercury Ions Removal from Water Using Functionalized CNTs with Deep Eutectic Solvent.

International journal of molecular sciences
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) functionalized with a deep eutectic solvent (DES) were utilized to remove mercury ions from water. An artificial neural network (ANN) technique was used for modelling the functionalized CNTs adsorption capacity. T...

Comparisons among Machine Learning Models for the Prediction of Hypercholestrolemia Associated with Exposure to Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Lead, mercury, and cadmium are common environmental pollutants in industrialized countries, but their combined impact on hypercholesterolemia (HC) is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of various machine learning ...

A coupled multivariate statistics, geostatistical and machine-learning approach to address soil pollution in a prototypical Hg-mining site in a natural reserve.

Chemosphere
The impact of mining activities on the environment is vast. In this regard, many mines were operating well before the introduction of environmental law. This is particularly true of cinnabar mines, whose activity has declined for decades due to growi...

Chitosan/nanohydroxyapatite composite based scallop shells as an efficient adsorbent for mercuric ions: Static and dynamic adsorption studies.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Chitosan/nanohydroxyapatite composites based on scallop shells (CP12, CP14 and CP21) were prepared with different chitosan: nanohydroxyapatite ratios (1:2, 1:4 and 2:1, respectively). Nanohydroxyapatite (P), chitosan(C) and their composites were char...

Machine Learning-Assisted Prediction and Exploration of the Homogeneous Oxidation of Mercury in Coal Combustion Flue Gas.

Environmental science & technology
Mercury emission from coal combustion flue gas is a significant environmental concern due to its detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. Elemental mercury (Hg) is the dominant species in flue gas and is hard to immobilize. Therefore, it i...
