Disease: mercury poisoning

Biological approaches to mitigate heavy metal pollution from battery production effluents: advances, challenges, and perspectives

Battery factories produce dirty water containing harmful heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Instead of using expensive chemical treatments, scientists are finding natural ways to clean this water using plants, bacteria, and other living organisms. These biological methods can remove up to 99% of the metals and are better for the environment. This review examines all these natural cleaning methods and suggests ways to make battery production cleaner and safer.

Avian toxicoses: a review

Pet and wild birds can be poisoned by many common substances including metals found in cage materials, kitchen cookware fumes, toxic plants, chocolate, salt, and rodent poison. Symptoms vary by toxin but can include difficulty breathing, weakness, seizures, and bleeding. Treatment focuses on removing the source, supportive care, and specific antidotes when available, though diagnosis is often challenging due to the small size of birds.

Analytical Determination of Heavy Metals in Water Using Carbon-Based Materials

This review examines how special carbon-based materials can detect toxic metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury in water quickly and inexpensively. These sensors use electrochemical methods to identify metal contamination at extremely low levels, far below what could harm human health. Some newer sensors are self-powered and can show results with color changes visible to the naked eye, making them perfect for rapid testing in the field without expensive laboratory equipment.
