Biowastes alone and combined with sulfur affect the phytoavailability of Cu and Zn to barnyard grass and sorghum in a fluvial alkaline soil under dry and wet conditions
(2019)Management of degraded soils (i.e., metal contaminated soils, salt affected soils, and soils with low organic matter content) by applying biowastes (e.g., biosolids and compost) and inorganic soil amendments such as sulfur ... -
Effects of sheep bone biochar on soil quality, maize growth, and fractionation and phytoavailability of Cd and Zn in a mining-contaminated soil
(2021)Biochar prepared from various feedstock materials has been utilized in recent years as a potential stabilizing agent for heavy metals in smelter-contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of animal bone-derived biochar ... -
Estimating remobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust of an industrialized urban environment
(2022)The mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of paramount concern in urban settings, particularly those affected by industrial activities. Here, contaminated soils and road dusts of the medium-size, industrialized ... -
Fish farming and anti-fouling paints: a potential source of Cu and Zn in farmed fish
(2014)The accumulation of copper and zinc, the basic components of anti-fouling paints, was examined in cultured sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax and sea bream Sparus aurata. Samplings were carried out at 4 eastern Mediterranean ... -
Geo- and nano-materials affect the mono-metal and competitive sorption of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn in a sewage sludge-treated alkaline soil
(2019)We evaluated the effect of geomaterials (modified zeolite and bentonite using CaCl2) and nanoparticles (ZnO and MgO) on the mono-metal and competitive sorption of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) in ... -
Hair Loss After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
(2018)Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hair loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The effects of variables on the likelihood that patients developed hair loss were also examined. Material ... -
Hazardous enrichment of toxic elements in soils and olives in the urban zone of Lavrio, Greece, a legacy, millennia-old silver/lead mining area and related health risk assessment
(2022)Lavrio is a Greek town with several abandoned Ag/Pb mines. In this study, 19 potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were measured in soil, weeds, and olives. Levels of seven of the studied PTEs in soil were highly elevated: Zn ... -
Herbal plants- and rice straw-derived biochars reduced metal mobilization in fishpond sediments and improved their potential as fertilizers
(2022)Fishpond sediments are rich in organic carbon and nutrients; thus, they can be used as potential fertilizers and soil conditioners. However, sediments can be contaminated with toxic elements (TEs), which have to be immobilized ... -
Highly effective oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysis: Nitrogen-doped hierarchically mesoporous carbon derived from interpenetrated nonporous metal-organic frameworks
(2017)Nitrogen-doped carbon materials with hierarchically mesoporous structure are synthesized in the present work via the pyrolysis of an interpenetrated non-porous metal-organic framework (MOF), viz. [Zn2(TPT)(BDC)2]·H2O ... -
Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Ion incorporation on the Zr2CS2 MXene monolayer towards better-performing rechargeable ion batteries
(2022)We study Li and, for the first time, K, Mg and Zn ion intercalation on the surface of the Zr2CS2 MXene monolayer, taking advantage of the fact that the S terminations lower the diffusion barrier of the ions. We find that ... -
Physiological and biochemical attributes of Mentha spicata when subjected to saline conditions and cation foliar application
(2019)Marginal water, including saline water, has been proposed as an alternative source of irrigation water for partially covering plant water requirements due to scarcity of adequate water supply in hot arid and semi-arid ... -
Single-atom catalysis for zinc-air/O2 batteries, water electrolyzers and fuel cells applications
(2022)We summarize the latest progress achieved in precious and non-precious carbon based single-atom catalytic active sites, including Pd, Pt, Ir, Ru, Rh, Au, Fe, Co, Mn, Zn, Sn, and Cu, aiming at facilitating metal-air/O2 ... -
Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements and the associated human health risk in geo- and anthropogenic contaminated soils: A case study from the temperate region (Germany) and the arid region (Egypt)
(2020)Soil contamination was very high in the studied soils (pollution load index ranged from 1.1 to 5.2), especially in the German and Egyptian Fluvisols; health risk for children was higher than for adults, and As, Al, Cr, Cu, ... -
Sorption of Cu and Zn in low organic matter-soils as influenced by soil properties and by the degree of soil weathering
(2015)Copper and Zn sorption and desorption, among other factors, depend on soil pH, but in soils with different degree of weathering the role of other soil properties (. e.g., oxides content and the level of their crystallinity) ... -
Understanding the Surface Reconstruction on Ternary WxCoBx for Water Oxidation and Zinc–Air Battery Applications
(2022)Here, the synthesis of a series of pure phase metal borides is reported, including WB, CoB, WCoB, and W2CoB2, and their surface reconstruction is studied under the electrochemical activation in alkaline solution. A cyclic ... -
