Environmental impact, lead abundance

The environmental impact of tin is appreciable, as it is one of the three most enriched metals—only lead and tellurium precede—in the atmospheric particular matter, as compared with the abundance of the element in the earth crust (2.2 ppm). Tin releases to the environment can be methylated by aquatic organisms, yielding organometallic species of toxicity comparable to that of methylated mercury5. 

Fast recharge capability Sealed maintenance-free design Good specific energy Good cycle life Low environmental impact Abundant raw materials Relatively low cost per Watt-hour Relatively low volumetric energy density Higher cost than lead-acid... 

In recent years biodegradable polymers have widely attracted considerable attention as an eco-friendly alternative for the currently used hazardous textile chemicals and auxiliaries for textile modification and functionalization [10,18, 37, 72,132]. As a consequence of their unique properties such as abundance, renewability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and environment friendliness (thereby leading to economic, environmental, and social positive impacts), a vast number of biodegradable polymers have... 

Metals and metalloids anthropogenic impact is very elevated since they have been extensively used for thousands of years in a multitude of activities and applications, e.g. mining, industry, tannery, and electronics. So, the need to determine not only its presence, but also its speciation, bioavailabifity, and isotopic abundance leads to development of a great number of flow-based methodologies applied to several environmental matrices. Likewise, numerous kinds of detectors, from spectrophotometry to ICP-MS, have been used in order to determine these analytes online.
