Metals is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published monthly online by MDPI. The Portuguese Society of Materials (SPM), and the Spanish Materials Society (SOCIEMAT) are affiliated with Metals and their members receive discounts on the article processing charges.
Metals (ISSN 2075-4701) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications.
Previous research in this area has mainly focused on the insertion of different transition metals into CāS bonds, thereby achieving selective cleavage of these bonds [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17].
This paper reviews research on phytoremediation (2002ā2021), particularly for the estimation of plant efficiency and soil pollution indices, examining the extraction of metals from soil and plants growing under both artificial (spiked with specific metal) and natural conditions.
This study compiled epidemiological evidence from research published over the past 11 years on the impact of metals on AD/ADRD in women. Women have unique risk factors for late onset of AD/ADRD, in addition to genetic factors, apolipoprotein E allele (APOE4), and longer life expectancy.
The bioavailability of metals and their toxicity to the biota depend on their chemical forms, which can be determined by a multi-step sequential extraction procedure, which provides acid extractable/exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable and residual/immobile fractions of metals in the soil.
Pyrolysis converts biowaste to biochar through anaerobic high temperature and the co-pyrolysis modification of transition metals (Fe, Al, etc.) in red mud to enhance adsorption performance, Figure 1 c. Biochar removes dyes/HMs and recovers energy (pyrolysis of oil, syngas) [119, 130, 131].
Oral ingestion was evidenced as the main route of possible contamination by heavy metals, especially for children, who presented a carcinogenic risk greater than 10ā1 for As, Cr, and Ni.
Contamination by heavy metals is a significant issue worldwide. In recent decades, soil heavy metals pollutants in China had adverse impacts on soil quality and threatened food security and human health. Anthropogenic inputs mainly generate heavy metal contamination in China.
