An understanding of global environmental pollution requires sensitive high-resolution
analytical methods to detect contaminants at trace level concentrations (≤ ppb), to …

The determination of the concentration of an environmental pollutant is not sufficient to
assess the related health risk because this pollutant may not be bioavailable. Therefore …

We propose a novel analytical method for mercury (Hg) trace determination based on direct
Hg preconcentration from aqueous solution onto a gold nanoparticle-decorated silica …

Abstract Development of an in situ passive sampler for mercury (Hg), and its toxic form,
methylmercury (MeHg), using simple polymer films, was explored for the potential to make …

Due to high potential toxicity of mercury species and their characteristics of bioaccumulation
and biomagnification, these pollutants have become a huge problem for environment, being …

In this project, two types of passive samplers for water monitoring of metals were modified,
optimised and applied to study the transport and behaviour of metals in wetlands polluted by …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous pollutant that is emitted to the atmosphere from both
anthropogenic and natural sources. Human exposure to Hg occurs mainly from consumption …

Biosilicate hybrid materials represent a tremendously broad range of materials from
inorganic matrices hosting small proteins (Gill und Ballesteros, J Am Chem Soc 120: 8587 …
