- Microalgae - A promising tool for heavy metal remediation. (2015, background): “Temperature exerts an important effect on metal speciation, because most chemical reaction rates are highly sensitive to temperature changes (Elder, 1989). Lau et al. (1999) provided a detailed understanding of temperature in their study; in general, higher temperature favors greater solubility of m”
- Mechanism and Health Effects of Heavy Metal Toxicity in Humans (2019, background): “The equations of these reactions are shown below (see [74] for review) (Figure 2).”
- Pollutants inducing epigenetic changes and diseases (2019, background): “The term heavy metal refers to any metallic element which has a relatively high density and is noxious even at very low concentrations (Duruibe et al. 2007).”
- Remediation technologies for heavy metal contaminated groundwater. (2011, background): “The most toxic forms of these metals in their ionic species are the most stable oxidation states e.g. Cd2þ, Pb2þ, Hg2þ, Agþ and As3þ in which, they react with the body’s bio-molecules to form extremely stable biotoxic compounds which are difficult to dissociate (Duruibe et al., 2007).”
- Phytotoxicity of Mercury in Plants: A Review (2012, background): “Due to the critical risks associated with metal toxicity to human health and environment [11, 12], scientists have been studying the effects of heavy metals with more emphasis on the bioremediation/chelation of the metal ions by organisms [13] and the severe effects in humans [3].”
