Biochar has been widely used for in situ remediation of sediments in recent years because
of its advantages including suitable surface area, pore structure, and abundant surface …

Plant cultivation can influence the immobilization of heavy metals in soil. However, the roles
of soil amendments and microorganisms in crop-based phytoremediation require further …

Background Particles from non-exhaust emissions derived from traffic activities are a
dominant cause of toxic metal pollution in urban environments. Recently, studies applying …

The study investigates the sources of metals in urban road dusts using elemental
concentration and Pb isotopic ratios. The elemental concentrations are also utilized to …

In this study, based on the assessment of soil heavy metals (HMs) pollution using relevant
indices, a comprehensive approach combined network environ analysis (NEA), human …

Although industrial emissions are the major pollution source of PM 2.5-bound Pb, which
affects air quality in cities, their influence has gradually decreased with the enhancement of …

Despite extensive research and technology to reduce the atmospheric emission of Pb from
burning coal for power generation, minimal attention has been paid to Pb associated with …

Introduction Toxic heavy metal pollution has been considered a major ecosystem pollution
source. Unceasing or rare performance of Pb2+ to the surrounding environment causes …

Non-ferrous metal smelting results in heterogenous spatial distribution of potentially toxic
metals (PTM) near smelters. In this work, windowsill dusts were collected from smelting (SA) …

Exposure to lead (Pb) is still rising concern worldwide, having in mind that even low-dose
exposure can induce various harmful effects. Thus, in-depth knowledge of the targets of Pb …
