Heavy fuel oil ash (HFOA) is generated as an industrial waste material during the
combustion of heavy fuel oil in power/desalination plants. With increasing energy demands …

Air quality is a vital environment variable which determines spatial accumulation of soil
heavy metals. It is very important to estimate the contribution of air quality for soil heavy …

This paper presents the comprehensive evaluation of the level of accumulation of some of
the most dangerous environmental pollutants (V, Co, Sn, Ni, Cr, Mn, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, Zn) and …

Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) devices hold promise for quick field screening of
contaminated sites, but so far, these devices have not been successfully used for mercury …

Combustion of heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) blended with municipal sewage sludge (MSS) in
existing infrastructures may be a sustainable waste management strategy. In this work, the …

Molybdenum (Mo) is a key cofactor in enzymes used for nitrogen (N) fixation and nitrate
reduction, and the low availability of Mo can constrain N inputs, affecting ecosystem …

Historical use of liquid elemental mercury (Hg (0) l) at the Y-12 National Security Complex in
Oak Ridge, TN, USA, resulted in large deposits of Hg (0) l in the soils. The fate and …
