A mathematical algorithm has been developed to compute the combined toxicity of mixtures
of metal contaminants using toxicity data for the individual components of the mixture. The …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite/attapulgite (HA/A) composite was prepared in this study and used
for remediation of Pb 2+ in aqueous solution and contaminated soil. The adsorption …

Biosilica with a surface area of 143 m 2 g− 1 derived from marine diatoms was prepared
using an easy two-step method involving washing with dilute acid and baking. The extracted …

Pattern recognition has been widely used to detect and identify multiple analytes. The
strategies for realizing pattern recognition of a single sensor are in significant demand. In the …

Cytotoxicity and quantitative structure–activity relationships of 13 inorganic and 21 organic
substances were determined using three bioassays performed on the ciliated protozoan …

Environmental toxicologists readily adopted QSARs from pharmacology to predict organic
contaminant toxicity. In contrast, models relating metal ion characteristics to their bioactivity …

The validity of the free-ion model (FIM) for the element lutetium (Lu), a member of the
lanthanides, was assessed in experiments with the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. The FIM is …

Three adsorbents have been synthesized by immobilization of Schiff base ligands on the
surface of SiO2–Al2O3 mixed oxides and evaluated for the removal of Cd (II) and Pb (II) from …

Lead oxide nanocrystals are synthesised by injecting oxygen gas into an air and moisture
free complex of Pb oleylamine and oleic acid in octadecene. Using various characterization …

Ecological risk assessment can be enhanced with predictive models for metal toxicity.
Modelings of published data were done under the simplifying assumption that intermetal …
