The fact that microplastics can accumulate organic pollutants from the environment and transport them has been known for some time. What is new, however, is that metals can also be transported in this ...

The reported nanoparticles can also be used as luminescent sensors to detect Cu2+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ ions in water. The presence of these metals in water poses a threat to human beings and animals. Heavy ...

These protein fibrils are drawn to heavy metals and act like a molecular sieve, trapping heavy metal ions as they pass by. A kilogram of oilseed meal produces about 160g of protein.

The face masks worn and discarded during the COVID-19 pandemic have an uncertain fate. Their physical damage to the ...

MNPs are very inexpensive and have good recycling properties following dye adsorption. These are the primary causative factors for the inclusion of magnetic absorbent compounds in several experiments ...

Exposure to environmental pollutants like metals is a newly recognized risk factor for CVD, but there isn't a lot of research on its association with CAC.

Diagram showing potential pathways of metal pollutant exposure in Cape Town caracals. Hg = mercury, As = arsenic, Se = selenium, Pb = lead, Al = aluminium. Authors supplied ...
