Integrated assessment of potentially toxic elements in soil of the Kangdian metallogenic province: A two-point machine learning approach.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
The accumulation of potentially toxic elements in soil poses significant risks to ecosystems and human well-being due to their inherent toxicity, widespread presence, and persistence. The Kangdian metallogenic province, famous for its iron-copper dep...

Predicting Hydrocarbon Primary Biodegradation in Soil and Sediment Systems Using System Parameterization and Machine Learning.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry
Technical complexity associated with biodegradation testing, particularly for substances of unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products, or biological materials (UVCB), necessitates the advancement of non-testing methods such as quanti...

Nonionic surfactant Tween 80-facilitated bacterial transport in porous media: A nonmonotonic concentration-dependent performance, mechanism, and machine learning prediction.

Environmental research
The surfactant-enhanced bioremediation (SEBR) of organic-contaminated soil is a promising soil remediation technology, in which surfactants not only mobilize pollutants, but also alter the mobility of bacteria. However, the bacterial response and und...

Efficient remediation of different concentrations of Cr-contaminated soils by nano zero-valent iron modified with carboxymethyl cellulose and biochar.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is widely used in soil remediation due to its high reactivity. However, the easy agglomeration, poor antioxidant ability and passivation layer of Fe-Cr coprecipitates of nZVI have limited its application scale in Cr-conta...

Predicting the efficiency of arsenic immobilization in soils by biochar using machine learning.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Arsenic (As) pollution in soils is a pervasive environmental issue. Biochar immobilization offers a promising solution for addressing soil As contamination. The efficiency of biochar in immobilizing As in soils primarily hinges on the characteristics...

An insight into the act of iron to impede arsenic toxicity in paddy agro-system.

Journal of environmental management
Surplus research on the widespread arsenic (As) revealed its disturbing role in obstructing the metabolic function of plants. Also, the predilection of As towards rice has been an interesting topic. Contrary to As, iron (Fe) is an essential micronutr...

Prediction of Soil Adsorption Coefficient in Pesticides Using Physicochemical Properties and Molecular Descriptors by Machine Learning Models.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry
The soil adsorption coefficient (K ) plays an important role in environmental risk assessment of pesticide registration. Based on this risk assessment, applied and registered pesticides can be allowed in the European Union. Almost 1 yr is required to...

Artificial intelligence models to predict acute phytotoxicity in petroleum contaminated soils.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Environment pollutants, especially those from total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), have a highly complex chemical, biological and physical impact on soils. Here we study this influence via modelling the TPH acute phytotoxicity effects on eleven sample...

Combination of compositional data analysis and machine learning approaches to identify sources and geochemical associations of potentially toxic elements in soil and assess the associated human health risk in a mining city.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Mining activities change the chemical composition of the environment and have negative reflection on people's health and there is no single measure to deal with adverse consequences of mining activities, as each case is specific and needs to be under...
