Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a highly acidic solution rich in heavy metals and produced by
mining activities. It can severely inhibit the growth of plants, and microbial communities and …

Increasing uranium (U) content in soils due to anthropogenic U contamination causes
accumulation of U in plants, which greatly increases human health risks. This review …

Thallium (Tl), is a highly toxic trace metal in the natural environment. Emerging Tl pollution in
waters has gradually become a global concern. However, limited removal technologies are …

Thallium (Tl) pollution caused by the exploitation of uranium (U) mines has long been
neglected due to its low crustal abundance. However, Tl may be enriched in minerals of U …

Farmland soil contamination of heavy metal (loid) s (HM) derived from smelting activities is a
global concern, owing to its potential threat for human health through food chain. This study …

In this work, Bi 2 O 3 doped horse manure-derived biochar was obtained by carbonizing the
H 2 O 2-modified horse manure loaded with bismuth nitrate under nitrogen atmosphere at …

Uranium mill tailings (UMTs) are one critical source of environmental U pollution. Leaching
test has been extensively used to reveal U release capacity and mechanism from UMTs …

Thallium (Tl) is an extremely toxic metal, while its occurrence and fate in paddy soil
environment remain understudied. Herein, the enrichment and migration mechanisms and …

Iron-rich red mud is a potent radioactive drainage treatment material. However, the calcite in
red mud attenuates its U adsorption capacity by restricting U adsorption onto adsorbent; it …

Nanoscience and technology have enabled better insights into the environmental and
health impacts arising from the mining, production and use of fossil and mineral fuels. Here …
