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...
Soil pollution caused by toxic metals poses serious threats to the ecological environment and human well-being. Accurately predicting toxic metal concentrations is critical for safeguarding soil environmental security. However, the distribution of so...
For efficient decision-making and optimal land management trajectories, information on soil properties in relation to safety guidelines should be processed from point inventories to surface predictive maps. For large-scale predictive mapping, very fe...
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 ...
Urbanization and industrialization have led to widespread soil heavy metals contamination, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Conventional methods for mapping heavy metal distribution, which rely on soil sampling followed by che...
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...
In this study, we introduce PFASorptionML, a novel machine learning (ML) tool developed to predict solid-liquid distribution coefficients () for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soils. Leveraging a data set of 1,274 entries for PFAS in ...
Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses substantial risks to the environment and human health. Traditional investigational methods are often inadequate for large-scale assessments because they are time-consuming, costly, and hav...
The chromite-asbestos mining leaves behind tonnes of toxic waste, contaminating nearby agricultural fields with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Over time, wind and water erosion spread these pollutants, severely impacting the ecosystem, food chain...
