Assessment of heavy metal pollution from anthropogenic activities and remediation strategies: A review.
TL;DR: The concentration of heavy metals in several sites, assessed in water, soil and sediment samples, affected by different pollution sources are reviewed, showing how human activities impact natural media and how the pollution spreads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metals from water sources in the developing world using low-cost materials: A review.
TL;DR: This review evaluates the use of adsorbents from four major categories: agricultural waste; naturally-occurring soil and mineral deposits; aquatic and terrestrial biomass; and other locally-available waste materials.

Antibiotic resistance in drinking water systems: Occurrence, removal, and human health risks.
Edmond Sanganyado,Willis Gwenzi +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that combining UV-irradiation with advanced oxidative processes may enhance the removal of ARB and ARGs, while disinfection may promote horizontal gene transfer from environmental ARB to pathogens.

Toxicity, mechanism and health effects of some heavy metals
Monisha Jaishankar,Tenzin Tseten,Naresh Anbalagan,Blessy Baby Mathew,Krishnamurthy Nideghatta Beeregowda +4 more
TL;DR: This review gives details about some heavy metals and their toxicity mechanisms, along with their health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination of drinking-water by arsenic in Bangladesh: a public health emergency
TL;DR: The experience in Bangladesh shows that groundwater sources throughout the world that are used for drinking-water should be tested for arsenic, and the fundamental intervention is the identification and provision of arsenic-free drinking water.

Intellectual Impairment in Children with Blood Lead Concentrations below 10 μg per Deciliter
Richard L. Canfield,Charles R. Henderson,Deborah A. Cory-Slechta,Christopher Cox,Christopher Cox,Todd A. Jusko,Bruce P. Lanphear +6 more
TL;DR: Blood lead concentrations, even those below 10 microg per deciliter, are inversely associated with children's IQ scores at three and five years of age, and associated declines in IQ are greater at these concentrations than at higher concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability, accumulation and effects of heavy metals in sediments with special reference to United Kingdom estuaries: a review
G.W. Bryan,W.J. Langston +1 more
TL;DR: Various factors governing the bioavailability, bioaccumulation and biological effects of heavy metals in sediment-dominated estuaries are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity
TL;DR: To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, a global prevention strategy is proposed and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicants is proposed.
