A highly selective and simple fluorescent sensor for mercury (II) ion detection based on cysteamine-capped CdTe quantum dots synthesized by the reflux method.

Luminescence 30(4) , 465-71, (2015)

Cysteamine (CA)-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) (CA-CdTe QDs) were prepared by the reflux method and utilized as an efficient nano-sized fluorescent sensor to detect mercury (II) ions (Hg(2+) ). Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence quenching effect of CA...

Mercury-induced dysfunctions in multiple organelles leading to cell death.

Toxicol. In Vitro 29(1) , 63-71, (2014)

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic metal that can exert multiple adverse effects, ultimately leading to cell death. Before causing death, the Hg enters the cells and affects diverse intracellular targets. The present study aimed to investigate the structure and f...

The degradation behaviour of nine diverse contaminants in urban surface water and wastewater prior to water treatment.

Environ. Sci. Process. Impacts 17 , 2051-65, (2015)

An increasing diversity of emerging contaminants are entering urban surface water and wastewater, posing unknown risks for the environment. One of the main contemporary challenges in ensuring water quality is to design efficient strategies for minimizing such...

Modeling nuclear volume isotope effects in crystals.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 110(44) , 17714-9, (2013)

Mass-independent isotope fractionations driven by differences in volumes and shapes of nuclei (the field shift effect) are known in several elements and are likely to be found in more. All-electron relativistic electronic structure calculations can predict th...

Biochemical responses of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze to heavy metal stress.

J. Environ Biol. 22(1) , 37-41, (2001)

Three heavy metals-mercury (II), copper (II) and nickel (II), each at a concentration of 10 and 100 micrograms/ml, were tested for their effects on various biochemical constituents of tea leaves. Both NI (II) and Hg (II) decreased the phenolic contents, while...

Voltammetric determination of ferulic acid by didodecyldimethylammonium bromide/nafion composite film-modified carbon paste electrode.

Anal. Sci. 26(8) , 907-11, (2010)

A simple and rapid method for the determination of ferulic acid in pharmaceutical formulations by didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)/Nafion composite film-modified carbon paste electrode is presented. The electrochemical behavior of ferulic acid at the ...

In vitro studies evaluating leaching of mercury from mine waste calcine using simulated human body fluids.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 44(12) , 4782-8, (2010)

In vitro bioaccessibility (IVBA) studies were carried out on samples of mercury (Hg) mine-waste calcine (roasted Hg ore) by leaching with simulated human body fluids. The objective was to estimate potential human exposure to Hg due to inhalation of airborne c...

Andrew Jackson's exposure to mercury and lead: poisoned president?

JAMA 282(6) , 569-71, (1999)

Historians have suggested that US president Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) experienced lead and mercury poisoning following his therapeutic use of calomel (mercurous chloride) and sugar of lead (lead acetate). To evaluate these claims, we performed direct physica...

Mercury poisoning associated with a Mexican beauty cream.

West. J. Med. 173(1) , 15-8; discussion 19, (2000)

To describe demographic characteristics, patterns of use, and symptoms associated with mercury poisoning among persons who used a Mexican beauty cream containing mercurous chloride and to estimate the prevalence of cream use in Texas near the Mexico border.Ca...

The electrochemical evaluation of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass in a phosphate-buffered saline electrolyte.

J. Biomed. Mater. Res. A 74(3) , 430-8, (2005)

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) represent an emerging class of materials with an amorphous structure and a unique combination of properties. The objectives of this investigation were to define the electrochemical behavior of a specific Zr-based BMG alloy in a ph...
