Since the early 2000s, biotic ligand models and related constructs have been a dominant
paradigm for risk assessment of aqueous metals in the environment. We critically review 1) …

The importance of considering the bioavailability of metals in understanding and assessing
their toxicity in freshwaters has been recognized for many years. Currently, biotic ligand …

Olivine, one of the most abundant silicates on earth, thermodynamically captures CO2 in
relevant amounts during its dissolution. Upscaling the use of this mineral as a replacement …

The impact of wastewater treatment works (WwTW) effluent on downstream river water
quality is of increasing concern, particularly owing to the presence in effluents of a range of …

Phytoextraction of Nickel (II) in water by two types of aquatic macrophytes (Lemna minor and
Eichhornia crassipes) was investigated using synthetic aqueous solutions of NiSO4 at …

Biotic ligand models (BLMs) and the sensitivities of indigenous species are used to assess
the environmental risk considering the bioavailability of metals, such as nickel. However, the …

The densely populated North Sea region encompasses catchments of rivers such as Scheldt
and Meuse. Herein, agricultural, industrial, and household chemicals are emitted …

Phytoremediation is a technique that uses various types of plants to remove, treat, translate,
or destroy pollutants from soil and water. We used Sorghum vulgare to remediate soils …

Since the soil quality Tool for Risk Identification, Assessment and Display (TRIAD) approach
introduced the “three lines of evidence” accounting for chemical, toxicological and …

Agricultural, industrial and household chemicals are emitted in large rivers along populated
areas, transported by water and deposited in sediments, posing (eco) toxicological risks …
