Background Discrepancies are present in the findings from clinical trials evaluating a
physiological role of iron status in the lead-exposed population. Objective The purpose of …

Lead (Pb) exposure has long been recognized as a hazard to human health. Urban garden
soils often contain elevated levels of Pb, mainly from legacy sources, which is a main barrier …

Heavy metals generated from e-waste have created serious health risks for residents in e-
waste disposal areas. This study assessed how airborne toxic metals from an e-waste …

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) …

Methods promoting lead (Pb) phase transformation in soils are essential for decreasing Pb
bioaccessibility/bioavailability and may offer an in situ, cost-efficient process for mitigating …

Lead (Pb) contamination of soils is of global concern due to the devastating impacts of Pb
exposure in children. Because early-life exposure to Pb has long-lasting health effects …

Background: Elevating dietary calcium (Ca) intake can reduce metal (loid) oral
bioavailability. However, the ability of a range of Ca minerals to reduce oral bioavailability of …

Abstract Background Lead (Pb) in house dust contributes significantly to blood lead levels
(BLLs) in children which may result in dire health consequences. Assessment of house dust …

Dust from uncovered mine tailings at Giant mine, an abandoned mine in northern Canada,
has been a concern for nearby residents. We have utilized microanalytical mineralogical …

Abstract Purpose of Review The ubiquity of soil contamination by lead (Pb) and arsenic (As)
has prompted the development of numerous techniques for its remediation. For human …
