4 days ago · In freshwater environments containing mercury, some species of fish may contain high levels of mercury. This is more likely in fish that are predatory (eat other fish) and that live a long time in mercury-containing environments.
2 days ago · This study statistically estimated the necessary toxicity reference values by integrating all data for the effect of Hg on birds using robust mathematical models. Lethal and sublethal effects of Hg on birds were assessed using six main endpoint categories: survival, offspring output, behavior, biochemical, histology, and body morphology.
4 days ago · Smoke exposure can have severe impacts, especially over the long term, affecting respiratory, cardiovascular, and immune systems and leading to chronic health conditions. However, these impacts can be avoided by proactively protecting ourselves. The first and most crucial step is to monitor air quality and know when to take protective measures.
2 days ago · Purpose Most forms of Mercury (Hg) in soil have significant destructive effect on ecosystems and food safety because of enormous toxicity. The existing treatment methods have drawbacks such as high energy consumption, complex operation, long remediation cycle, and secondary pollution. Therefore, this study aims to develop a governance method with low energy consumption, simple operation, short ...
