Soil contamination with persistent and potentially (eco) toxic heavy metal (loid) s is
ubiquitous around the globe. Concentration of these heavy metal (loid) s in soil has …

Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose
a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the …

Contaminated soil containing toxic metals and metalloids is found everywhere globally. As a
consequence of adsorption and precipitation reactions, metals are comparatively immobile …

Although soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Europe has a history of
many centuries, related problems are often considered as having been dealt with due to the …

The recycle of iron ore tailings is of great significance for environmental protection and
sustainable development. In this paper, a facile approach to synthesize mesoporous silica …

Iron ore tailings (IOTs), a typical hazardous solid waste, seriously threaten human health
and the ecological environment. However, the abundance of quartz, particularly in high …

The mining industry has historically served as a critical reservoir of essential raw materials
driving global economic progress. Nevertheless, the consequential by-product known as …

Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are usually found in areas of
intense industrial activity. Thriasio Plain is a plain near Athens, Greece, where most of the …

This study consists of an ecotoxicological assessment related to one the most important
environmental Brazilian disasters: the failure of an iron mining dam of the Vale SA in …

The reuse of treated municipal sewage ('biosolids') on land is an effective method to divert
waste away from landfill and to use an alternative, low cost method of fertilisation. While …
