BACKGROUND: Exposure to heavy metals has been implicated in adverse auditory health outcomes, yet the precise relationships between heavy metal biomarkers and hearing status remain underexplored. This study leverages a machine learning framework to i...
Soil heavy metal (HM) pollution is a significant and widespread environmental issue in China, highlighting the need to quantify influencing factors and identify priority concern areas for effective prevention and management. Based on published litera...
Using follow-up data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, we have collected information on 2572 subjects and used generalized linear model to investigate the association between urinary heavy metal levels and g...
Limited research exists on the association between depression and heavy metal exposure. This study aims to develop an interpretable and efficient machine learning (ML) model with robust performance to identify depression linked to heavy metal exposur...
This study explores the impact of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) contamination in Indian tea-growing soils on ecosystems, soil quality, and human health using machine learning and statistical analysis. A total of 148 surface soil samples were collec...
Agro-industrial waste management remains a critical challenge in sustainable development, particularly due to contamination with heterogeneous micropollutants such as heavy metals (HMs), pesticides, and polyphenols. This study explores an innovative ...
With the expansion of human industrial activities, heavy metal contamination in groundwater environments has become increasingly severe. Environmental management agencies invest significant financial resources into groundwater monitoring, primarily d...
Heavy metal concentration in pregnant women affects neurocognitive and behavioral development of their infants and children. The majority of existing research focusing on pregnant women's heavy metal concentration has considered individual environmen...
Coal mining soils are highly susceptible to heavy metal pollution due to the discharge of mine tailings, overburden dumps, and acid mine drainage. Developing a reliable predictive model for heavy metal concentrations in this region has proven to be a...
Material deposited on road surfaces, called road dust, are known to contain different toxic elements. According to particle size, there are different fractions. Particles with an aerodynamic size less than or equal to 75 µm are called silt loading. A...
