Identifying trace metal distribution and occurrence in sediments, inundated soils, and non-flooded soils of a reservoir catchment using Self-Organizing Maps, an artificial neural network method.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The Lancang-Mekong River is a trans-boundary river which provides a livelihood for over 60 million people in Southeast Asia. Its environmental security is vital to both local and regional inhabitants. Efforts have been undertaken to identify controll...

Magnetic Properties as a Proxy for Predicting Fine-Particle-Bound Heavy Metals in a Support Vector Machine Approach.

Environmental science & technology
The development of a reasonable statistical method of predicting the concentrations of fine-particle-bound heavy metals remains challenging. In this study, daily PM samples were collected within four different seasons from a Chinese mega-city. The an...

Analysis of the Importance of Oxides and Clays in Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn Adsorption and Retention with Regression Trees.

PloS one
This study determines the influence of the different soil components and of the cation-exchange capacity on the adsorption and retention of different heavy metals: cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc. In order to do so, regression models...

Identification of an exposure risk to heavy metals from pharmaceutical-grade rubber stoppers.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Exposure to low concentrations of heavy metals and metalloids represents a well-documented risk to animal and human health. However, current standards (European Pharmacopeia [EP], United States Pharmacopoeia [USP], International Organization for Stan...

Discovery and Optimization of Materials Using Evolutionary Approaches.

Chemical reviews
Materials science is undergoing a revolution, generating valuable new materials such as flexible solar panels, biomaterials and printable tissues, new catalysts, polymers, and porous materials with unprecedented properties. However, the number of pot...

Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail) as bioindicator of different types of pollution in aquatic ecosystems-application of self-organizing feature map (neural network).

Environmental science and pollution research international
The contents of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in leaves of Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail), water and bottom sediment from 72 study sites designated in different regions of Poland were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. The aim of ...

Joint Toxicity of Lead, Chromium, Cobalt and Nickel to Photobacterium phosphoreum at No Observed Effect Concentration.

Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology
Joint toxicity of Pb2+, Cr3+, Co2+ and Ni2+ toward Photobacterium phosphoreum (Ph. phosphoreum) at the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) was determined through a factorial experiment. A neural network model was designed according to experimenta...

Application of chemometric analysis and self Organizing Map-Artificial Neural Network as source receptor modeling for metal speciation in river sediment.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Present study deals with the river Ganga water quality and its impact on metal speciation in its sediments. Concentration of physico-chemical parameters was highest in summer season followed by winter and lowest in rainy season. Metal speciation stud...

Identifying factors influencing trace metal concentrations in urban residential soil using an optimal parameter-based geographical detector model.

Environmental research
Australia's national citizen science program VegeSafe has collected and analysed over 26,000 residential garden soil samples for their trace metal concentrations, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing contamination. H...

Association between metal mixture in urine and abnormal blood pressure and mediated effect of oxidative stress based on BKMR and Machine learning method.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Exposure to heavy metals represents a significant risk factor for hypertension and blood pressure disorders. Notably, current evidence indicates that the key biological processes of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunct...
