Emerging contaminants can be natural or synthetic materials, as well as materials of a chemical, or biological origin; these materials are typically not controlled or monitored in the environment. Canada is home to nearly 7 % of the world's renewable water supply and a wide range of different kinds of water systems, including the Great Lake, rivers, c ...

Estuaries play a crucial role in preventing the influx of metals from rivers into seas, thereby offering potential insights for the water purification industry. This study seeks to identify the key parameters (including pH, electricity conductivity (EC), and Eh) influencing the removal efficiency of Mn, Zn, Cu, Co, and Ni during natural and electro-floccu ...

Run-of-river power plants (ROR) represent the majority of hydroelectric plants worldwide. Their environmental impacts are not well documented and are believed to be limited, particularly regarding the contamination of food webs by methylmercury (MeHg), a neurotoxin. RORs are typically installed in small rivers where combined effects of watershed disturban ...

Fresh biochar has been widely applied to the remediation of heavy metals in soil by its property of adsorption, but the changes in its physicochemical properties and in situ adsorption performance over time cannot be ignored. In this study, the sorption of Cd²⁺ by corn straw biochars (CB) and mun ...

Humans who are exposed to metals in road dust may have potential health risks through touching, ingesting, and inhaling the suspended road dust. There were limited studies to link seasonal emission sources to health risks from metals in road dust. In this study, metals in road dust from different functional areas were seasonally monitored. The contributio ...
