Identification of elements exposed to flood hazard in a section of Trotus River, RomaniaThe objective of this article is to study the evolution of soil erosion produced by the Siret River during 1989 – 2008. The hydrophysical and mechanic action of the river flow manifests by freeze, thaw,...

Environmental exposure to trace elements has been widely suspected as an etiological factor for the emergence of chronic kidney disease of undetermined origin (CKDu) that prevails in certain districts of the dry zone areas of Sri Lanka. Contaminated rice can be act as a host for potentially toxic...
In the context of tipping points, compound events, a subcategory of extreme events, can be of particularly high relevance.Compound weather and climate eventsdescribe combinations of multiple climate drivers and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk (Zscheischler et al.2018; Bu...
The anthropogenic pressure on water and wetland ecosystems along the Sava River is primarily due to intensive urbanization and the development of various economic sectors, including energy, mining, industry, agriculture and transport. The upper course of the river is exposed to hydromorphological ...
Infants are known more vulnerable if exposed to neurotoxins. Infants have a higher risk of heavy metal accumulation due to lower excretion rate and body weight, as well as a low immunity state12. It is also known that the toxicant uptake in the gastrointestinal system is greater for infants ...
Potentially toxic elements such as lead and aluminium have been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), since their neurotoxic mechanisms mimic many of the pathogenetic processes in MS. We therefore examined the distributi
– Boron has a melting point and is resistant to corrosion, it is used in materials that are exposed to extreme conditions and is a major component of glass. – Aluminum is widely used and is valued for its combination of low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum is ...
effluents containing Ga and In are discharged into rivers or through irrigation systems and may influence the growth and productivity of crops. Humans may also be exposed to Ga and In via the food chain, which could pose severe health risks (Su et al.2018). Te is a rare, relatively ...
An important method for estimation of the nature and likelihood of detrimental health influences in individuals exposed to noxious metals is human health risk assessment through chronic daily intake, hazard quotient, health risk index and carcinogenic risk44. This method has widely used by researchers ...
