“Potentially Toxic Element”─Something that Means Everything Means Nothing

Environmental Science & Technology, 2022
A character in a famous William Shakespeare play commented that “a great cause of the night is lack of the sun”. (1) Shakespeare used the comment as a statement and a humorous device, which we refer to here as we wish to address reasons why there is perhaps more humor and less illumination in the increasing use of the phrase “potentially toxic element”.

Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Hair as a Bioindicator for the Environmental Presence of Toxic and Trace Elements

Toxics, 2023
The return to pasture use as an alternative to intensive livestock farming implies some risks with the lack or the excessive presence of potentially toxic elements; in this regard, wild animals have been used as bioindicators for decades.

Biochar-Assisted Phytostabilization for Potentially Toxic Element Immobilization [PDF]

Sustainability, 2021
In response to the growing threat to the quality of the soil environment, new technologies are being developed to protect and remediate contaminated sites. A new approach, namely, assisted phytostabilization, has been used in areas contaminated with high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), using various soil additives.

Leptodactylus macrosternum (Anura: Leptodactylidae) as a bioindicator of potentially toxic chemical elements in irrigated perimeters in northeastern Brazil

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, 2022
Biomonitoring programs have developed in the last decades, including the toxicity evaluation of endemic organisms in populations from polluted areas. Environmental bioindicators respond to contaminants as predictors of future damage to their population ...

Variability in concentrations of potentially toxic elements in urban parks from six European cities [PDF]

, 2006
Use of a harmonised sampling regime has allowed comparison of concentrations of copper, chromium, nickel, lead and zinc in six urban parks located in different European cities differing markedly in their climate and industrial history.

Differential release of sewage sludge biochar-borne elements by common low-molecular-weight organic acids [PDF]

, 2018
Biochar materials originated from sewage sludge may contain elevated levels of potentially toxic elements. There was a lack of information on the mobility of biochar-borne elements, as driven by lowmolecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) contained in ...
