Molecular Imprinting: Green Perspectives and Strategies.
Maryam Arabi,Abbas Ostovan,Jinhua Li,Xiaoyan Wang,Zhiyang Zhang,Jaebum Choo,Lingxin Chen,Lingxin Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mnemonic device in the form of an acronym, GREENIFICATION, is proposed to present the green MIT principles and the entire greenificated imprinting process is surveyed, including element choice, polymerization implementation, energy input, imprinting strategies, waste treatment, and recovery.

Heavy metals in food, house dust, and water from an e-waste recycling area in South China and the potential risk to human health
Jing Zheng,Ke-Hui Chen,Xiao Yan,She-Jun Chen,Guo-Cheng Hu,Guo-Cheng Hu,Xiao-Wu Peng,Jiangang Yuan,Bi-Xian Mai,Zhong-Yi Yang +9 more
TL;DR: Groundwater would have a great potential to induce cancer in a highly exposed population and the risks from oral exposure is much higher than the risk from inhalation and dermal contact with house dust, the results reveal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanomaterials for the Treatment of Heavy Metal-Contaminated Water and Environmental Remediation
TL;DR: Recent advancements in the applications of carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene, graphene oxide, and activated carbon in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated water and their application in environmental remediation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc oxide nanoparticles toxicity to Daphnia magna: size-dependent effects and dissolution.
Sílvia Lopes,Fabianne Ribeiro,Jacek Wojnarowicz,Witold Łojkowski,Kerstin Jurkschat,Alison Crossley,Amadeu M.V.M. Soares,Susana Loureiro +7 more
TL;DR: Dissolution and particle size in the daphnia test media were found to be essential to derive conclusions on toxicity and fate and can possibly be considered critical for evaluating nanoparticles'oxicity and fate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and transgenerational impact on Daphnia magna of chemicals with a known effect on DNA methylation
TL;DR: Exposure to environmental chemicals was shown to affect DNA methylation in the parental generation of D. magna, which indicates the possibility of transgenerational inheritance of environment-induced epigenetic changes in non-exposed subsequent generations.

Humic Ion-Binding Model VI: An Improved Description of the Interactions of Protons and Metal Ions with Humic Substances
TL;DR: In this article, a discrete site/electrostatic model of the interactions of protons and metals with fulvic and humic acids is applied to 19 sets of published data for proton binding, and 110 sets for metal binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium signaling: A tale for all seasons
TL;DR: An experiment performed in London nearly 120 years ago marked the beginning of the calcium (Ca2+) signaling saga and revealed that Ca2+, hitherto exclusively considered as a structural element, was active in a tissue that has nothing to do with bone or teeth, and performed there a completely novel function.

Biotic Ligand Model, a Flexible Tool for Developing Site-Specific Water Quality Guidelines for Metals
Soumya Niyogi,Chris M. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: The biotic ligand model is critically evaluated for copper, silver, zinc, and nickel and gill binding approaches for cadmium, lead, and cobalt on which BLMs could be based and issues of concern include the arbitrary nature of LA50 adjustments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gill surface interaction model for trace-metal toxicity to fishes: role of complexation, pH, and water hardness
TL;DR: In this article, a model has been developed to account for the variability in trace-metal toxicity to fishes at different values of alkalinity, hardness, and pH, and the model utilizes tracemetal speciation, gill surface interaction, and competitive inhibition to predict effective, toxicant concentration.

Inverse relationship between bioconcentration factor and exposure concentration for metals: implications for hazard assessment of metals in the aquatic environment.
James C. McGeer,Kevin V. Brix,James M. Skeaff,David K. DeForest,Sarah I. Brigham,William J. Adams,Andrew Green +6 more
TL;DR: This study illustrates that the BCF/BAF criteria, as currently applied, are inappropriate for the hazard identification and classification of metals, as values are highest at low exposure concentrations and are lowest at high exposure concentrations, where impacts are likely.
