“…Arsenic pollution is not a major concern because the maximum concentration of 28 mg/kg, well below the target value, was found in this study. Cooper Cr, and Ni concentrations in this study show comparable patterns, and they are highly dependent on the existence of a specific industry nearby (Nwajei et al, 2012;Ekpo et al, 2014;Spahić et al, 2019). Zinc and Pb are usually present at a higher level, therefore, they should be monitored (Yan et al, 2008;Hu et al, 2012;Dobroshi et al, 2019).…”

“…In such cases, the pollutants that are often a problem are heavy metals (Wcisło et al, 2016;Harvey et al, 2017;Khademi et al, 2019). The contamination of industrial soils is predominantly dependent on the type of industrial activity (Liang et al, 2017;Spahić et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020), but, the soil characteristics and other influences, such as urbanization (Xie et al, 2019), traffic (Chen et al, 2020), geographical factors (Dragović et al, 2014), should also be taken into account.…”

“…Heavy metals in soils near factories generally enter the soil from industrial activities (Li et al, 2020), and the type of heavy metal contamination depends on the type of industry. For example, increased concentrations of Fe and Zn have been found in soil samples near a welding factory (Spahić et al, 2019); high levels of Pb contamination have been found in the topsoil around a lead-smelter (Li et al, 2020); soil samples near a tannery contain a high level of Cr (Dheeba and Sampathkumar, 2012); and soil highly polluted by Hg from a chlor-alkali plant has been reported (Relić et al, 2019).…”

Soil samples from the site of the former largest paint and varnish factory in ex-Yugoslavia were analyzed for arsenic and eight heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe, and Hg). Several additional soil properties (pH, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water content) were also measured. Multivariate analysis showed strong correlations between Pb and Zn; and a moderate correlation between Cu and Ni. There was no correlation between heavy metals and any of the analyzed soil properties parameters. A factor analysis grouped most heavy metals, except Cd, which showed different behavior, and Fe and As, which associated with soil properties. The soil samples were clustered into two distinctive groups. Positive matrix factorization receptor modeling clearly identified Zn and Pb as belonging to the traffic vehicle factor. The second factor dominating arsenic was industrial chemical emissions, while the third factor containing most of the heavy metals was attributed to natural background variation. The last non-metallic factor, dominated by sulfur, was the result of past activities in the paint facility. The average enrichment factor values were for the metals analyzed were: 0.73; 0.71; 2.4; 0.58; 2.3; 0.87; 1.6; and 0.76; for Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, As, and Hg, respectively. Only moderate soil enrichment by Pb and Zn was found. The geoaccumulation index values showed a moderately polluted soil with Pb and Zn, but most contributing to the ecological risk were Cd with 63% and Hg with 19%. These two metals are of major concern in this case study due to their high toxicity, even though they are present at very low concentrations. Generally, a moderate ecological risk was estimated for most soil samples, except for a small number of high-risk samples. Spatial distribution mapped three severely polluted sub-areas. In general, the paint and varnish industry moderately contributes to the contamination of soil. The main ecological risk from metal contamination is not related to the paint technological production process itself, but from other activities at the site that deposit of heavy metals into the soil.

Mercury is a type of hazardous and toxic pollutant that can result in detrimental effects on the environment and human health. This review is aimed at discussing the state-of-the-art progress on the recent developments on the toxicity of mercury and its chemical compounds. More than 210 recent works of literature are covered in this review. It first delineates the types (covering elemental mercury, inorganic mercury compounds, organic mercury compounds), structures, and sources of mercury. It then discusses the pharmacokinetic profile of mercury, molecular mechanisms of mercury toxicity, and clinical manifestation of acute and chronic mercury toxicity to public health. It also elucidates the mercury toxicity to the environment and human health in detail, covering ecotoxicity, neurotoxicity diseases, neurological diseases, genotoxicity and gene regulation, immunogenicity, pregnancy and reproductive system damage, cancer promotion, cardiotoxicity, pulmonary diseases, and renal disease. In order to mitigate the adverse effects of mercury, strategies to overcome mercury toxicity are recommended. Finally, some future perspectives are provided in order to advance this field of research in the future.

“…As modern industries such as agriculture, healthcare, and others continue to develop, human society is having an increasingly signi cant impact on nature (Mihai et al 2022;Muurinen et al 2017;Spahić et al 2019). Among them, environmental pollution is a very serious problem, and one of the sources of contamination is the discharge of antibiotics (Agramont et al 2020).…”

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a fresh type of environmentally friendly photocatalytic material with the potential to degrade pollutants in water. In particular, g-C3N4 (CN) has significant characteristics in the treatment of antibiotics, which has attracted extensive attention from researchers. However, due to the less active sites and fast carrier recombination rate resulting from the block morphology, the CN has unsatisfactory photocatalytic performance up to now. Therefore, in this paper, a thinner and smaller CN nanosheets with more active sites and slower carrier recombination rate were successfully prepared by a combination of P element doping and triple calcination modifications. The modified 1.5% P-CN-3 not only has a 2.24-fold increase in the degradation ability of antibiotic Tetracycline (TC) compared to pure CN, but also has a hydrogen production rate of 2268.27 µmol·g− 1·h− 1 for water decomposition. This paper provides an effective approach for the modification of CN.
