This study aims to evaluate the applicability of existing machine learning and deep learning techniques for the rapid prediction of hydrocarbon contamination in soils using hyperspectral data. Soil samples of three types, i.e., clayey, silty, and san...
Site-specific arsenic (As) bioaccessibility data can improve the accuracy of health risk assessments, but direct measurements are costly and time-consuming. Even when available, measured values such as the mean still yield remediation targets below n...
Predicting the soil sorption capacity for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is pivotal for environmental risk assessment. However, traditional experimental methods are inefficient, necessitating computational model development. We ...
