“…The toxicity of cadmium [Cd(II)] is a significant issue in some countries. − Heavy Cd(II) ions are environmentally toxic heavy-metal ions that harm all biological functions in plants, animals, and humans, so it was ranked seventh by the agency for toxic substances and disease registry. , As a result, it mimics various elements, causing disruption and alteration at various levels of the ecosystem . Lead [Pb(II)] has the potential to harm the human/animal nervous system, kidneys, liver, brain functions, and reproductive system, and it also leads to some other toxic symptoms such as headache, muscle weakness, anemia, insomnia, dizziness, irritability, and hallucination . To protect our environment and health, these toxic metallic ions should be removed from polluted drinking water using different water treatment methods .…”

Facile Synthesis of NiO–CuO/Activated Carbon Nanocomposites for Use in the Removal of Lead and Cadmium Ions from Water

et al. 2022

In this work, activated carbon (AC) was synthesized and then modified using nickel(II) oxide and copper(II) oxide. Pure-AC, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt % nanohybrid NiO–CuO/AC nanocomposites (χ-NC/AC NCs) were characterized using XRD, IR, EDS, surface area, and FE-SEM techniques. Furthermore, the adsorbents obtained were tested for their ability to remove hazardous Pb(II) and Cd(II) from water. The fabricated x-NC/AC NC adsorbents showed the highest adsorptive performance toward the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from water. The 30-NC/AC NC adsorbent showed the complete removal of Pb(II) at pH = 5 and Cd(II) at pH = 7 within 30 min. Overall, the obtained superior experimental results suggest that the adsorptive performance of AC was greatly enhanced after loading hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles, so its application in water treatment is potential and applicable.

“…ypothesis-driven observational studies have identified various nongenetic factors associated with psychosis. These environmental factors include relatively well-studied exposures, such as childhood adversity, immigration, racial or ethnic minority status, urbanicity, cannabis use, and obstetric and pregnancy complications, 1,2 as well as less studied exposures and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity; 3 toxins, such as lead poisoning 4 and nitrogen dioxide air pollution; 5,6 and nutrients, such as caffeine and magnesium. 7,8 Although hypothesis testing is essential and much knowledge on the environmental epidemiology of psychosis has been gained over the years, several limitations of this approach should be acknowledged.…”

“…Lead has no physiological function in the human body but impairs multiple biochemical processes, and affects the renal, reproductive, and nervous (especially in children) systems (101,102). Until 2012, having a blood Pb level of 10 µg/dL or above was considered "level of concern" in children.…”

Metabolic and genetic derangement: a review of mechanisms involved in arsenic and lead toxicity and genotoxicity

Urbanisation and industrialisation are on the rise all over the world. Environmental contaminants such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are directly linked with both phenomena. Two PTEs that raise greatest concern are arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) as soil and drinking water contaminants, whether they are naturally occurring or the consequence of human activities. Both elements are potential carcinogens. This paper reviews the mechanisms by which As and Pb impair metabolic processes and cause genetic damage in humans. Despite efforts to ban or limit their use, due to high persistence both continue to pose a risk to human health, which justifies the need for further toxicological research.
