In-syringe ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction for the fluorescent determination of aluminum in water and milk samples

Facile fabrication of boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots for “ON–OFF–ON” fluorescence sensing of Al3+ and F− ions in water samples

“…1 The uptake of Al 3+ in plasma is carried out by transferrin, which results in the displacement of iron from transferrin and decreases the iron uptake by about 30% with subsequent damage to hemoglobin synthesis. 2 Moreover, elevated levels of Al 3+ cause Alzheimer's disease, osteomalacia, and dementia. 3 Fluoride (F − ) is naturally occurring in the soil and groundwater.…”
