Contamination, exposure, and health risk assessment of Hg in Pakistan: A review

Application of Phanerochaete chrysopsorium-Based Carbon Paste Electrode as an Electrochemical Sensor for Voltammetric Detection of Hg (II) in Chlor-Alkali Industrial Effluent

“…This value is a bit higher than the WHO recommended limit of 1-2 µg/L. However, this detection method can play significant role with respect to the concentration level of mercuric ions reported in different water reservoirs of Pakistan [36,37]. A comparison of the current method with other modified carbon paste electrodebased electrochemical sensors is illustrated in Table 2.…”

Silver oxide decorated urchin-like microporous organic polymer composites as versatile antibacterial organic coating materials

“…[13][14][15] Because of their detrimental environmental impact, Hg 2+ ions are not suitable candidates for obtaining antibacterial materials. 16,17 Consequently, Ag + ions were more suitable for this purpose. Silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag 2 O NPs) demonstrate superior antibacterial activity because of the continuous release of Ag + ions.…”

Multi-Emission Carbon Dots Combining Turn-On Sensing and Fluorescence Quenching Exhibit Ultrahigh Selectivity for Mercury in Real Water Samples

“…Mercury is a ubiquitous heavy-metal pollutant in the environment and poses serious ecological and human-health risks, − and mercury contamination of water resources is a major risk driver. − In many regions of the world, concentrations of mercury in surface water or groundwater are hundreds of times higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) Guideline of 0.006 mg/L. ,,, This poses direct threats to the population relying on these waters as the source of drinking water. Additionally, irrigation using mercury-impacted water induces significant risks due to the microbial production of methylmercury, a highly potent neurotoxin that is bioaccumulative through the food chain.…”
