The quality and quantity of natural organic matter (NOM) has been observed to evolve which
poses challenges to water treatment facilities. Even though NOM may not be toxic itself, its …

Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc and copper are among the most
important pollutants because of their non-biodegradability and toxicity above certain …

Humic substances are structurally complex large to macromolecules which occur in soils
and natural waters as a consequence of the breakdown of plant and animal residues by …

The biogeochemical controls on metal behaviour in aqueous environments involve complex
linkages of biological, principally bacterially driven, and geochemical processes, which …

This review will illustrate how it is possible to develop ion‐selective electrode (ISE)
methodologies that meet the stringent requirements (ie, high selectivities and very low …

Environmental Context. The chemical speciation of trace metals greatly influences their
biological effects. Nonetheless, no clear consensus currently exists as to when metal …

The capacity of raw rice bran for chromium and nickel removal from aqueous solutions was
investigated. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models, which are in common use for …

In the computation of metal flux in aquatic systems, at consuming surfaces like organism
membranes, diffusion processes of metal ions, ligands, and complex species, as well as the …

Reference humic substances (fulvic and humic acid) were used to demonstrate the
adsorption of natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) onto the surfaces of phytoplankton …

Quantifying the factors affecting the toxicity and bioaccumulation of trace metals by aquatic
organisms is a major goal of aquatic scientists. Overall, these factors can be grouped into …
