Heavy metal ions are one of the main sources of water pollution. Most heavy metal ions are
carcinogens that pose a threat to both ecological balance and human health. With the …

Surface water is heavily exposed to contamination as this is the ubiquitous source for most
of the water needs. This situation is exaggerated by the excessive population, heavy …

Since the industrial revolution in the late eighteenth century, the world has discovered new
sources of pollution nearly every day. So, air and water can potentially become polluted …

Thallium (Tl) is a typical toxic metal, which poses a great threat to human health through
drinking water and the food chain (biomagnification). China has rich Tl-bearing mineral …

The use of agricultural waste to remove heavy metals from wastewater has attracted much
attention due to its economic advantages and high removal efficiency which is attributed to …

Thallium is a non essential and highly toxic metal listed by USEPA and the European Water
Framework Directive as a priority pollutant. It is present in the environment mainly as Tl (I) …

Although exogenous contamination and unreliable reference values have limited the utility
of scalp hair as a biomarker of chemical elements exposure, its use in toxicological, clinical …

Thallium (Tl) is typical rare element with severe toxicity comparable to Hg and Pb. To track Tl
pollution, isotopic fractionation of Tl was evaluated during pyrite smelting for sulfuric acid …

Thallium (Tl) is an extremely toxic metal with high risk. Sediment samples from a well dated
sediment core retrieved from a heavily polluted urban lake were measured to assess the …

We investigated the adsorption of Tl+ onto purified Illite du Puy (IdP). Distribution coefficients
(K d) for trace Tl adsorption indicated a moderate pH-dependence from pH 2.5 to 11 …
