Slow decomposition of L-ascorbic acid, carried out under aerobic conditions and in the presence of cadmium ions, results in formation of a crystalline product that is highly insoluble in water. This compound has been identified as a cadmium oxalate polymeric species with formula Cd(C(2)O(4)).3H(2)O. The crystal structure of this compound is described. Relevant crystal data are the following: C(4)H(12)O(14)Cd(2), fw = 508.94; triclinic; space group P1 (No. 1); a = 6.010(1) A, b = 6.668(1) A, c = 8.498(1) A; alpha = 74.64(1) degrees, beta = 74.25(1) degrees, gamma = 80.91(1) degrees; V = 314.7(5) A(3); Z = 1.

A major proportion of metal contaminants in aquatic environments is bound to suspended particulate matter (SPM), yet environmental monitoring typically focuses on dissolved metals, with the filtration step removing SPM. This step may inadvertently hide the potential risks posed by particulate metals. In this study, we used stable isotope tracers to quantify the contributions of SPM-bound metals to the bioaccumulation of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in Ruditapes philippinarum, a widely distributed clam crucial to global aquaculture.

The war in Ukraine is having a dramatic impact on the physical, chemical and biological soil properties. A comprehensive study of the war-affected soils during the ongoing war is a challenging task owing to the many constrains that arise during fieldworks. Remote sensing data is the best solution for overall analysis of physical soil disturbances.

Two billion people worldwide suffer from anemia, which can lead to the onset of cardiac disorders; nevertheless, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. There are at least three distinct mechanisms by which iron deficiency (ID) contributes to the development of cardiac disorders. First, ID increases concentrations of intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (iFGF-23), which promotes left ventricular hypertrophy.

The anionic species of antimony(V) and phosphate(V) are commonly found in the contaminated soil of mining areas, exerting a significant influence on the sorption of heavy metals and thus affecting their migration. This study quantitatively discussed the sorption mechanism of Sb and P in promoting the sorption of Cd or Cu on goethite through a series of extraction methods. In the single sorption system, the majority of Cu (87-98%) is adsorbed on goethite in the form of EDTA-extractable Cu (EF Cu, possibly inner-sphere complexes) under pH conditions of 3.
