Lead and Tin Toxicology, Sensing and Environmental Health
This community investigates the biological effects of lead and tin exposure, the development of chemical sensors to detect these metals, and their presence in the environment and consumer products.
The research focuses heavily on the health impacts of lead, including its neurological and systemic toxicity, alongside the chemical detection of tin ions (Sn2+) using colorimetric and fluorometric probes. A significant portion of the work addresses environmental health, examining metal contamination in various media and its implications for public health. The community also includes studies on the specific mechanisms of metal sensing, such as the use of rhodamine-based conjugates and organosilane hybrids for selective recognition of tin in aqueous and biological contexts.
The largest share of the community's output is found in lead research, accounting for 4.3% of all lead research tracked, with 6,535 papers in this group.
The community comprises 7,815 papers, publishing most frequently in Environmental Research, Environmental Health Perspectives, and The Lancet.
Recent work includes the development of ratiometric fluorescent probes for equipment-free detection of tin ions and retrospective studies on tin sensitization in Europe.
