The microplastics (MPs) serving as the “minor but efficient” vector and carriers of the
environmental heavy metals (HMs) were broadly disseminated in the freshwater and marine …

Soil pollution by potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) near uranium (U) mines arouses a
growing interest worldwide. However, nearly all studies have focused on a single site or only …

The construction of heterojunctions is a method employed to inhibit the rapid recombination
of photogenerated carriers. In this work, zero-dimensional (0D) g-C3N4 quantum dots …

The matched energy band structure and efficient carrier separation efficiency are the keys to
heterogeneous photocatalytic reactions. A novel organic/inorganic step scheme (S-scheme) …

Constructing heterojunction between two semiconductors with matched energy band
structure is an effective modification method to obtain excellent photocatalysts. The …

Pyrite is a typical sulfide mineral which contains various potentially toxic metal (loid) s
(PTMs). The pyrite smelting and subsequent industrial utilization activities usually release …

Heavy metal exposure is a common risk factor for hypertension. To develop an interpretable
predictive machine learning (ML) model for hypertension based on levels of heavy metal …

Uranium mill tailings (UMTs) are one critical source of environmental U pollution. Leaching
test has been extensively used to reveal U release capacity and mechanism from UMTs …

Even though uranium (U) is considered to be an essential strategic resource with vital
significance to nuclear power development and climate change mitigation, U exposure to …

Thallium (Tl) is an extremely toxic metal, while its occurrence and fate in paddy soil
environment remain understudied. Herein, the enrichment and migration mechanisms and …
