TLDR
The 2011 WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (fourth edition) advised a health-based value of 70μg/L for Mo but this is no longer promulgated as a formal guideline value as WHO consider such concentrations to be rarely found in drinking water as discussed by the authors.

Wet deposition in the remote western and central Mediterranean as a source of trace metals to surface seawater

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the only recent characterization of two contrasted wet deposition events collected during the PEACETIME (ProcEss studies at the Air-sEa Interface after dust deposition in the MEditerranean Sea) cruise in the open Mediterranean Sea (Med Sea) and their impact on trace metal (TM) marine stocks.

Remediation of pollutants with economical importance from mining waters: Usage of Cladophora fracta

TL;DR: In this article, the metal pollution index (MPI) values calculated between 17.50 and 44.98 were used to determine the pollution degree of Cladophora fracta.
Journal ArticleDOI

Legacy of Coal Combustion: Widespread Contamination of Lake Sediments and Implications for Chronic Risks to Aquatic Ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a multiproxy approach of morphologic, magnetic, geochemical, and Sr isotopic analyses, revealing unmonitored coal ash releases over the past 40 to 70 years preserved in the sediment records of five freshwater lakes adjacent to coal-fired power plants across North Carolina.

Naturally occurring metals in unregulated domestic wells in Nevada, USA

TL;DR: In this paper , a population health study, the Healthy Nevada Project, was used to collect drinking water samples from domestic wells for testing, and the results showed the pressing need for continued education and outreach on regular testing of domestic well waters, proper treatment types, and health effects of metal contamination.

Expanding the speciation of terrestrial molybdenum: Discovery of polekhovskyite, MoNiP2, and insights into the sources of Mo-phosphides in the Dead Sea Transform area

TL;DR: Polekhovskyite as mentioned in this paper is the first terrestrial Mo phosphide, a phosphorus-rich homolog of meteoritic monipite, MoNiP2, which was discovered among phosphide assemblages in pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Formation (the Mottled Zone) in Israel.

The composition of the continental crust

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.
