Methods of using carbon nanotubes as filter media to remove aqueous heavy metals [PDF]
, 2012 Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well known to have a strong affinity to various heavy metals in aqueous solution, little research has been dedicated to exploit their use in fixed-bed water treatment systems (e.g., trickling filters).

Spatial distribution and degree of heavy metal pollution in urban roadside dusts from Sanandaj, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research, 2015 Industrial activities and high traffic density are the most important heavy metal pollution sources in urban areas. Roadside dust created by atmospheric deposition can be one of the best indicators for heavy metal contamination levels.
