Mitkus (2004) used regression models in a study of several hundred ambient PM samples collected in Baltimore, Maryland, and concluded that multiple metals interacted with each other to cause in vitro cytokine release.
Combining the optical sensors with multicomponent linear regression allowed simultaneous determination of multiple metals in synthetic mixtures with different compositions.
To engineer plant bacteria symbionts for remediating complex sites contaminated with multiple metals, the bifunctional glutathione (GSH) synthase gene gcsgs was introduced into endophytic Enterobacter sp. CBSB1 to improve phytoremediation efficiency of host plant Brassica juncea.
The look can be seen stacked as bangles, layered as neck chains, dangling from ears — often with multiple metals appearing on the same piece.
Some of these proteins appear highly selective for a given essential metal; however, others are less specific and interact with multiple metals, including toxic metals.
Pseudomonas putida KT2440, an efficient colonizer of the root system of various plants, is a ubiquitous saprophytic bacterium endowed with a remarkable adaptability to diverse environments, including soils heavily contaminated with multiple metals.
Likewise, AP1 (composed of c-FOS and c-JUN) and c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) are also associated with multiple metals (CTD 2011) (see Supplemental Material, Figure S2).
Now, based on replicated tree-ring chronologies of multiple metals and backed up with an independent test of dendrochemistry of tungsten around a known source of tungsten, Fallon is also distinctive temporally by its increase in tungsten beginning by the mid-1990s as well as by its elevated cobalt since at least the early 1990s.
This strategy is expected to allow the fabrication of other multiple metal oxides with porous structures for high performance cathode materials.
Body burden monitoring of metals with theoretical advantages accounting for interindividual differences and all exposure routes is a useful tool to assess exposure to multiple metals.
