Rapid urbanization and growing food demand caused people to be concerned about food safety. Biosensors have gained considerable attention for assessing food safety due to selectivity, and sensitivity but poor stability inherently limits their applica...
Hydrogel-based sorbents show promise in the removal of toxic metals from water. However, optimizing their performance through conventional trial-and-error methods is both costly and challenging due to the inherent high-dimensional parameter space ass...

The rising heavy metal (HM) pollution in coastal aquifers in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Dammam leads to significant risks to public health and environmental sustainability, challenging compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guide...
The world's largest mangrove forest (Sundarbans) is facing an imminent threat from heavy metal pollution, posing grave ecological and human health risks. Developing an accurate predictive model for heavy metal content in this area has been challengin...
The heavy metal content in edible oils is intricately associated with their suitability for human consumption. In this study, standard soybean oil was used as a sample to quantify the specified concentration of heavy metals using microwave sensing te...
Due to the diverse controlling factors and their uneven spatial distribution, especially atmospheric deposition from smelters, assessing and predicting the accumulation of heavy metals (HM) in crops across smelting-affected areas becomes challenging....
Urban fragmented vegetable fields offer fresh produce but pose a potential risk of heavy metal (HM) exposure. Thus, this study investigated HM sources and health risks in the soil-vegetable systems of Chongqing's central urban area. Results indicated...

Sediments are important heavy metal sinks in lakes, crucial for ensuring water environment safety. Existing studies mainly focused on well-studied lakes, leaving gaps in understanding pollution patterns in specific basins and influencing factors.We c...
Gas stations not only serve as sites for oil storage and refueling but also as locations where vehicles frequently brake, significantly enriching the surrounding soil with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Herein, 117 topsoil samples from gas statio...
