In 2020, the new European Drinking Water Directive will be updated to include new drinking-
water safety parameters. These will introduce reduced thresholds for the presence of heavy …

Background In recent decades, contaminations with heavy metals ions have adversely
affected the environment, food safety, and human health. Heavy metals, leaching to water …

A superior persimmon peel-based imprinted material (Ga-IIP-PP-OP) was obtained by
optimizing the preparation conditions such as cross-linking agent dosage, type of solvent …

Ion imprinting is an extension of molecular imprinting in which target ions are used as
templates to prepare ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) with specific ion recognition. IIPs have …

Potentiometry is one of the most important electrochemical methods and potentiometric
based sensors have been extensively studied by researchers for many years. The fact that …

Quantification of trace levels of metal ions is an important issue in terms of health and
environment safety. Ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) are synthetic materials that present …

It remains great challenges to fabricate advanced potentiometric sensors based on ion-
selective electrodes (ISEs) with ultrasensitivity, high selectivity, long-term durability, and …

A variety of organic and inorganic pollutants in water environments pose threats to human
health. Therefore, it is critical to develop effective techniques to determine and monitor the …

Heavy metal exposure has soared due to the twentieth century's industrial activity. The most
common heavy metals that lead to human poisoning are mercury, cadmium, and arsenic …
