Abstract
In today’s world of public health, the rise in chronic illness and the contamination of the environment due to heavy metal ions are two major problems. Particularly, one extremely harmful contaminant, mercury(II), damages the immune system, central nervous system, and human metabolism, posing a serious risk to life systems. Given the extreme toxicity of mercury to people, it is critical to develop a quick, precise, affordable, and reliable techniques for estimating the amounts of Hg2+ in biological and environmental samples. A number of methods, including the colorimetric assay that is reviewed here, can be used to monitor mercury levels. Nanomaterials, polymers, porous materials, and nanocomposites are examples of advanced functional systems that have garnered a lot of attention lately due to their real-time detection, speedy removal, outstanding anti-interference, fast reaction time, high selectivity, and low detection limit capabilities.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring and Management is a journal devoted to the publication of peer reviewed original research on environmental nanotechnologies, monitoring studies and management for water, soil , waste and human health samples. Critical review articles, short communications and scientific policy briefs are also welcome. The journal will include all environmental matrices except air. Nanomaterials were suggested as efficient cost-effective and environmental friendly alternative to existing treatment materials, from the standpoints of both resource conservation and environmental remediation. The journal aims to receive papers in the field of nanotechnology covering; Developments of new nanosorbents for: •Groundwater, drinking water and wastewater treatment •Remediation of contaminated sites •Assessment of novel nanotechnologies including sustainability and life cycle implications Monitoring and Management papers should cover the fields of: •Novel analytical methods applied to environmental and health samples •Fate and transport of pollutants in the environment •Case studies covering environmental monitoring and public health •Water and soil prevention and legislation •Industrial and hazardous waste- legislation, characterisation, management practices, minimization, treatment and disposal •Environmental management and remediation
