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.

Molybdenum stable isotope fractionation during the precipitation of powellite (CaMoO4) and wulfenite (PbMoO4)

TL;DR: In this paper, the average Rayleigh isotope separation factor for powellite precipitation was −0.82 ǫ± 0.12 ë, with no significant effect from the presence/absence of dissolved sulfate and inorganic carbon.

Impact of Molybdenum Compounds as Anticancer Agents

TL;DR: Main contributions of molybdenum compounds as anticancer agents could be observed in their nanofibrous support with suitable physicochemical properties, combination therapy, and biosensors (biomarkers).
Journal ArticleDOI

Sediment water (interface) mobility of metal(loid)s and nutrients under undisturbed conditions and during resuspension.

TL;DR: Overall the "most pristine sediments" and not the potentially hazardous materials in the study area are found to be from highest concern and support requests to better include fractionation and speciation demands in legal assessments of sediments.

A geochemical analogy between the metal sources in Kuwait Bay and territorial sea water of Kuwait

TL;DR: Tidal influence along with dustfall plays a key role in the metal contamination of bay waters, and the extraneous process has a predominant control over the distribution of the metals in TSW than the Bay.

A review of the source, behaviour and distribution of arsenic in natural waters

TL;DR: The scale of the problem in terms of population exposed to high As concentrations is greatest in the Bengal Basin with more than 40 million people drinking water containing ‘excessive’ As as mentioned in this paper.

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.
