Abstract:Heavy metals are present in the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Their bioaccumulation and persistence constitutes a serious threat to human health, demanding suitable methods for heavy metal monitoring. In this sense, anodic stripping voltammetry is especially appropriate for measuring trace metals. Conventionally, stripping techniques were connected to the use of mercury-based electrodes. Nevertheless, concerns about mercury toxicity have led to focus on the development of more enviro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
