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...

Identifying the key factors of mercury exposure in residents of southwestern Iran using machine learning algorithms.

Environmental geochemistry and health
It is necessary to predict hair mercury (Hg) levels and specify the related effective factors to develop preventive strategies to reduce Hg exposure in different regions. This study is the first effort to investigate the effectiveness of eight machin...

[Colorimetric detection of trace mercury in mineral water via cloud-pointextraction coupled with gold nanoparticle probe].

Wei sheng yan jiu = Journal of hygiene research
OBJECTIVE: To developed a method for rapid visual and colorimetric detection of trace high toxicity element mercury( Hg~(2+)) in natural mineral water via coupling cloud-point extraction with gold nanoparticle probe.

[Effects of mercury concentration on life table demography of Moina macrocopa under different Scenedesmus obliquus densities].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology
In order to compare the chronic toxicity of pollutants to organisms in an aquatic environment under different food densities, the cladoceran Moina macrocopa was used as test animal to investigate the effects of Hg²⁺ concentrations (0, 0.4, 1.1, 1.8, ...
