Abstract
Predicting soil heavy metal (HM) content is crucial for monitoring soil quality and ensuring ecological health. However, existing methods often neglect the spatial dependency of data. To address this gap, our study introduces a novel graph neural network (GNN) model, Multi-Scale Attention-based Graph Neural Network for Heavy Metal Prediction (MSA-GNN-HMP). The model integrates multi-scale graph convolutional network (MS-GCN) and attention-based GNN (AGNN) to capture spatial relationships. Using surface soil samples from the Pearl River Basin, we evaluate the MSA-GNN-HMP model against four other models. The experimental results show that the MSA-GNN-HMP model has the best predictive performance for Cd and Pb, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.841 for Cd and 0.886 for Pb, and the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.403 mg kg-1 for Cd and 0.670 mg kg-1 for Pb, as well as the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.563 mg kg-1for Cd and 0.898 mg kg-1 for Pb. In feature importance analysis, latitude and longitude emerged as key factors influencing the heavy metal content. The spatial distribution prediction trend of heavy metal elements by different prediction methods is basically consistent, with the high-value areas of Cd and Pb respectively distributed in the northwest and northeast of the basin center. However, the MSA-GNN-HMP model demonstrates superior detail representation in spatial prediction. MSA-GNN-HMP model has excellent spatial information representation capabilities and can more accurately predict heavy metal content and spatial distribution, providing a new theoretical basis for monitoring, assessing, and managing soil pollution.

Predicting bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sediment using various machine learning (ML) models: A case study in Mahabad Dam and River-Iran. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121788. [PMID: 39013315 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
Considering the significant impact of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) on the ecosystem and human health, this paper, investigated the contamination level of four PTEs (Zn, Cu, Mo and Pb) and their mobility in sediments of Mahabad dam and river. Choosing the most effective machine learning algorithms is very important in accurately predicting bioavailability of PTEs. Therefore, four machine learning (ML) models including decision tree regression (DTR), random forest regression (RFR), multi-layer perceptron regression (MLPR) and support vector regression (SVR), were used and compared for estimating the selected PTEs bioavailability. For these models, 9 variables (total concentration, pH, EC, OM and five chemical forms F1 to F5 obtained by sequential extraction) in 100 sediment samples were considered. The results showed that contamination level decreases from Zn and Cu to Pb and Mo, but the order of the mobility coefficient of the elements in the sediment follows the trend of zinc > copper > molybdenum > lead, and variation coefficient indicated more variability of spatial distribution for Zn and Cu. Among the four tested models, DTR and RFR performed the best for predicting PTEs bioavailability variations (with roc_auc>0.9, R2 > 0.8 and MSE>0.5), followed by MLPR and SVR. Furthermore, the relevance of the factors controlling the metals availability, evaluated using the RFR-based feature importance method and Pearson correlation, revealed that the most important physicochemical property for Zn, Cu and Mo bioavailability was pH, whereas for Pb, EC was the determinant factor. In the case of chemical speciation, F5 had an inverse correlation with the target, while F1 and F2 had a direct correlation. These fractions contributed significantly to the prediction results. This study represents the potential successful application of ML to PTEs risk control in sediments and early warning for the surrounding water PTEs contamination.

Abstract
Antibiotics, as a class of environmental pollutants, pose a significant challenge due to their persistent nature and resistance to easy degradation. This study delves into modeling and optimizing conventional Fenton degradation of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and total organic carbon (TOC) under varying levels of H2O2, Fe2+ concentration, pH, and temperature using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques including Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In statistical metrics, the ANN model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy compared to its counterparts, with lowest RMSE values of 0.986 and 1.173 for SMX and TOC removal, respectively. Sensitivity showcased H2O2/Fe2+ ratio, time and pH as pivotal for SMX degradation, while in simultaneous SMX and TOC reduction, fine tuning the time, pH, and temperature was essential. Leveraging a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Desirability Optimization approach, the trained ANN model revealed an optimal desirability of 0.941 out of 1000 solutions which yielded a 91.18% SMX degradation and 87.90% TOC removal under following specific conditions: treatment time of 48.5 min, Fe2+: 7.05 mg L-1, H2O2: 128.82 mg L-1, pH: 5.1, initial SMX: 97.6 mg L-1, and a temperature: 29.8 °C. LC/MS analysis reveals multiple intermediates with higher m/z (242, 270 and 288) and lower m/z (98, 108, 156 and 173) values identified, however no aliphatic hydrocarbon was isolated, because of the low mineralization performance of Fenton process. Furthermore, some inorganic fragments like NH4+ and NO3- were also determined in solution. This comprehensive research enriches AI modeling for intricate Fenton-based contaminant degradation, advancing sustainable antibiotic removal strategies.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in farmland soil threatens soil environmental quality. It is an important task to quickly grasp the status of heavy metal pollution in farmland soil in a region. Hyperspectral remote sensing technology has been widely used in soil heavy metal concentration monitoring. How to improve the accuracy and reliability of its estimation model is a hot topic. This study analyzed 440 soil samples from Sihe Town and the surrounding agricultural areas in Yushu City, Jilin Province. Considering the differences between different types of soils, a local regression model of heavy metal concentrations (As and Cu) was established based on projection pursuit (PP) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) algorithms. Based on the estimations, a spatial distribution map of soil heavy metals in the region was drawn. The findings of this study showed that considering the differences between different soils to construct a local regression estimation model of soil heavy metal concentration improved the estimation accuracy. Specifically, the relative percent difference (RPD) of As and Cu element estimations in black soil increased the most, by 0.30 and 0.26, respectively. The regional spatial distribution map of heavy metal concentration derived from local regression showed high spatial variability. The number of characteristic bands screened by the PP method accounted for 10-13% of the total spectral bands, effectively reducing the model complexity. Compared with the traditional machine model, the LightGBM model showed better estimation ability, and the highest determination coefficients (R2) of different soil validation sets reached 0.73 (As) and 0.75 (Cu), respectively. In this study, the constructed PP-LightGBM estimation model takes into account the differences in soil types, which effectively improves the accuracy and reliability of hyperspectral image estimation of soil heavy metal concentration and provides a reference for drawing large-scale spatial distributions of heavy metals from hyperspectral images and mastering soil environmental quality.

Improving prediction of soil heavy metal(loid) concentration by developing a combined Co-kriging and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 468:133745.

Abstract
The study of heavy metal(loid) (HM) contamination in soil using extensive data obtained from published literature is an economical and convenient method. However, the uneven distribution of these data in time and space limits their direct applicability. Therefore, based on the concentration data obtained from the published literature (2000-2020), we investigated the relationship between soil HM accumulation and various anthropogenic activities, developed a hybrid model to predict soil HM concentrations, and then evaluated their ecological risks. The results demonstrated that various anthropogenic activities were the main cause of soil HM accumulation using Geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model. The hybrid Co-kriging + GTWR model, which incorporates two of the most influential auxiliary variables, can improve the accuracy and reliability of predicting HM concentrations. The predicted concentrations of eight HMs all exceeded the background values for soil environment in China. The results of the ecological risk assessment revealed that five HMs accounted for more than 90% of the area at the "High risk" level (RQ ≥ 1), with the descending order of Ni (100%) = Cu (100%) > As (98.73%) > Zn (95.50%) > Pb (94.90%). This study provides a novel approach to environmental pollution research using the published data.

Abstract
Soil loss is an environmental concern of global importance. Accurate simulation of soil loss in small watersheds is crucial for protecting the environment and implementing soil and water conservation measures. However, predicting soil loss while meeting the criteria of high precision, efficiency, and generalizability remains a challenge. Therefore, this study first used three machine learning (ML) algorithms, namely, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN) to develop soil loss models and predict soil loss rates (SLRs). These soil loss models were constructed using field observation data with an average SLR of 1756.48 t/km2 from rainfall events and small watersheds in the hilly-gully region of the Loess Plateau, China. During training, testing and generalizability stages, the average coefficients of determination from the RF, SVM, and ANN models were 0.903, 0.860, and 0.836, respectively. Similarly, the average Nash-Sutcliffe coefficients of efficiency from the RF, SVM and ANN models were 0.893, 0.791 and 0.814, respectively. These results indicated that MLs have superior predictive performance and generalizability, and broad prospects for predicting SLRs. This study also demonstrated that the RF model outperformed better than the SVM and ANN models. Therefore, the RF model was used to simulate the SLR of each small watershed in the Chabagou watershed. Our results showed the four-year (2017-2020) average annual SLR of the small watersheds ranged from 0.73 to 1.63 × 104 t/(km2∙a) in the Chabagou watershed. Additionally, the results also indicated the SLR of small watersheds under the rainstorm event with a 100-year recurrence interval was 4.4-51.3 times that of other rainfall events.Furthermore, this study confirmed that bare land was the predominant source of soil loss in the Chabagou watershed, followed by cropland land and grassland. This study helps to provide the theoretical basis for deploying soil and water conservation measures to realize the sustainable utilization of soil resources in the future.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of water quality contributes to the intelligent management of water resources. Water quality indices have time series characteristics and nonlinearity, but the existing models only focus on the forward time series when long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced and do not consider the parallel computation on the model. Owing to this, a new neural network called LSTM-multihead attention (LMA) was constructed to predict water quality, using long short-term memory to process time series data and multihead attention for parallel computing and extracting feature information. Additionally, water quality indices have the issues of multiple data types and complex data correlations, as well as missing data and abnormal data problems in water quality data. In order to solve these problems, this study proposes a water quality prediction model called GRA-LMA-based linear interpolation, gray relational analysis and LMA. Two experiments are carried out to verify the predictive performance of the GRA-LMA with the water quality data of the Huaihe River Basin as a case study sample. The first experiment focuses on data processing, including the processing of missing data and abnormal data of water quality data, and the correlation analysis of water quality indices. Linear interpolation is adapted to process the missing data, while a combination of boxplot and histogram is adopted to analyze and eliminate the abnormal data, which is then repaired the abnormal data with linear interpolation. The gray relational analysis is adopted to calculate the correlation between different water quality indices, and water quality indices with high correlation are retained to determine the input variables of the water quality prediction model. The data processing results demonstrate that repairs can be made using linear interpolation without altering the pattern of data change and the model by using the gray relational analysis to reduce the quantity of data it needs as input. In the second experiment, the predictive capacity of GRA-LMA and existing models such as backpropagation neural network (BP), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and gate recurrent unit (GRU) was evaluated and compared using different numerical and graphical performance evaluation metrics. Comparative experimental results show that the mean square error of pH, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen of GRA-LMA is reduced to 0.05890, 0.40196, 0.32454, 0.04368, 14.71003, 8.13252, 0.01558, and 0.14345. The results indicate that GRA-LMA has superior adaptability for predicting various water quality indices and can significantly lower the induced prediction error.

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel targeted blend of machine learning (ML) based approaches for controlling wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation by predicting distributions of key effluent parameters of a biological nutrient removal (BNR) process. Two years of data were collected from Plajyolu wastewater treatment plant in Kocaeli, Türkiye and the effluent parameters were predicted using six machine learning algorithms to compare their performances. Based on mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) metric only, support vector regression machine (SVRM) with linear kernel method showed a good agreement for COD and BOD5, with the MAPE values of about 9% and 0.9%, respectively. Random Forest (RF) and EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) regression were found to be the best algorithms for TN and TP effluent parameters, with the MAPE values of about 34% and 27%, respectively. Further, when the results were evaluated together according to all the performance metrics, RF, SVRM (with both linear kernel and RBF kernel), and Hybrid Regression algorithms generally made more successful predictions than Light GBM and XGBoost algorithms for all the parameters. Through this case study we demonstrated selective application of ML algorithms can be used to predict different effluent parameters more effectively. Wider implementation of this approach can potentially reduce the resource demands for active monitoring the environmental performance of WWTPs.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) are the major scaling ions of reverse osmosis concentrate in zero-liquid discharge systems, causing performance decline. In this study, we predicted the removal of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from simulated reverse osmosis concentrate by functional polyketones (FPKs). Four amines, including 1,2-diaminopropane (DAP), 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine (AEP), 1-(3-aminopropyl) imidazole (API), and butyl amine (BA) used to synthesize FPKs. The effects of various factors such as the amount of adsorbent, feed water concentration, and pH were investigated for process optimization. In this study, ensemble learner artificial intelligence models, decision tree (DT), extreme gradient boost (XGB), and random forest (RF) were used to predict Ca2+ and Mg2+ removal by the FPKs. Datasets were collected experimentally using FPKs to remove Ca2+ and Mg2+ from the simulated reverse osmosis concentrate. The predictions were made by XGB, DT, and RF models for the first chosen amine for Ca2+ and then for Mg2+, subsequently, this process was repeated with each amine. The developed DT, RF, and XGB models demonstrated higher coefficients of determination for predicting Mg2+ removal by AEP and DAP (R2 = 0.841-0.935) than by API and BA (R2 = 0.774-0.801) except in the RF and XGB model results (R2 = 0.801-0.846). Overall, the XGB model displayed good results for both Ca2+ and Mg2+ removal but slight changes were observed in the AEP and BA predictions by DT and RF. Therefore, artificial intelligence models may be a viable alternative for further insight in predicting Ca2+ and Mg2+ removal by FPKs from simulated reverse osmosis concentrate.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 338:122667. [PMID: 37783414 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
The health risks of lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) tailings from heavy metal (HMs) contamination have been gaining increasing public concern. The dispersal of HMs from tailings poses a substantial threat to ecosystems. Therefore, studying the mechanisms of migration and transformation of HMs in Pb-Zn tailings has significant ecological and environmental significance. Initially, this study encapsulated the distribution and contamination status of Pb-Zn tailings in China. Subsequently, we comprehensively scrutinized the mechanisms governing the migration and transformation of HMs in the Pb-Zn tailings from a geochemical perspective. This examination reveals the intricate interplay between various biotic and abiotic constituents, including environmental factors (EFs), characteristic minerals, organic flotation reagents (OFRs), and microorganisms within Pb-Zn tailings interact through a series of physical, chemical, and biological processes, leading to the formation of complexes, chelates, and aggregates involving HMs and OFRs. These interactions ultimately influence the migration and transformation of HMs. Finally, we provide an overview of contaminant migration prediction and ecological remediation in Pb-Zn tailings. In this systematic review, we identify several forthcoming research imperatives and methodologies. Specifically, understanding the dynamic mechanisms underlying the migration and transformation of HMs is challenging. These challenges encompass an exploration of the weathering processes of characteristic minerals and their interactions with HMs, the complex interplay between HMs and OFRs in Pb-Zn tailings, the effects of microbial community succession during the storage and remediation of Pb-Zn tailings, and the importance of utilizing process-based models in predicting the fate of HMs, and the potential for microbial remediation of tailings.

Abstract
The zero-valent iron (ZVI) based reactive materials are potential remediation reagents in permeable reactive barriers (PRB). Considering that reactive materials is the essential to determining the long-term stability of PRB and the emergence of a large number of new iron-based materials. Here, we present a new approach using machine learning to screen PRB reactive materials, which proposes to improve the efficiency and practicality of selection of ZVI-based materials. To compensate for the insufficient amount of existing machine learning source data and the real-world implementation, machine learning combines evaluation index (EI) and reactive material experimental evaluations. XGboost model is applied to estimate the kinetic data and SHAP is used to improve the accuracy of model. Batch and column tests were conducted to investigate the geochemical characteristics of groundwater. The study find that specific surface area is a fundamental factor correlated with the kinetic constants of ZVI-based materials, according to SHAP analysis. Reclassifying the data with specific surface area significantly improved prediction accuracy (reducing RMSE from 1.84 to 0.6). Experimental evaluation results showed that ZVI had 3.2 times higher anaerobic corrosion reaction kinetic constants and 3.8 times lower selectivity than AC-ZVI. Mechanistic studies revealed the transformation pathways and endpoint products of iron compounds. Overall, this study is a successful initial attempt to use machine learning for selecting reactive materials.

Abstract
Stripping is widely applied for the removal of ammonia from fresh waste leachate. However, the development of air stripping technology is restricted by the requirements for large-scale equipment and long operation periods. This paper describes a high-gravity technology that improves ammonia stripping from actual fresh waste leachate and a machine learning approach that predicts the stripping performance under different operational parameters. The high-gravity field is implemented in a co-current-flow rotating packed bed in multi-stage cycle series mode. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithm is applied to the experimental data to predict the liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) and removal efficiency (η) for various rotation speeds, numbers of stripping stages, gas flow rates, and liquid flow rates. Ammonia stripping under a high-gravity field achieves η = 82.73% and KLa = 5.551 × 10-4 s-1 at a pH value of 10 and ambient temperature. The results suggest that the eXtreme Gradient Boosting model provides good accuracy and predictive performance, with R2 values of 0.9923 and 0.9783 for KLa and η, respectively. The machine learning models developed in this study are combined with experimental results to provide more comprehensive information on rotating packed bed operations and more accurate predictions of KLa and η. The information mining behind the model is an important reference for the rational design of high-gravity-field-coupled ammonia stripping projects.

Further to quantification of content, can reflectance spectroscopy determine the speciation of cobalt and nickel on a mine waste dump surface? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 872:161996. [PMID: 36775166 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Toxic elements released due to mining activities are of the most important environmental concerns, characterised not only by their concentration, but also by their distribution among different chemical species, known as speciation. These are conventionally determined using chemical analysis and sequential extraction, which are expensive and time-demanding. In this study, the possibility of using visible-near-infrared-shortwave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) reflectance spectroscopy was investigated as an alternative technique to quantify the contents of cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) in soil samples collected from Sarcheshmeh copper mine waste dump surface, in Iran. As a novel approach, the capability of VNIR-SWIR spectroscopy was also investigated in speciation of those elements. Three machine learning (ML) techniques (i.e., extreme gradient boosting (EGB), random forest (RF) and support vector regression (SVR)) were used to make relationships between soil spectral responses and Co and Ni contents of the samples. For all ML algorithms, the best prediction accuracies were obtained by the models developed on the first derivative (FD) spectra (for Co: RMSEp values of 7.82, 8.03 and 9.22 mg·kg-1, and for Ni: RMSEp values of 9.88, 10.32 and 11.02 mg·kg-1, using EGB, RF and SVR, respectively). Spatial variability maps of elements showed relatively similar patterns between observed and predicted values. Correlation and ML (EGB, RF, SVR)-based methods revealed that the most important wavelengths for Co and Ni prediction were those related to iron oxides/hydroxides and clay minerals, as two main soil properties responsible for controlling their speciation. This study demonstrated that the EGB technique was successful at indirect quantification and spatial variability mapping of Co and Ni on the mine waste dump surface. In addition, it provided an inspiration for implementation of the VNIR-SWIR reflectance spectroscopy as a potentially fast and cost-effective method for speciation studies of toxic elements, especially in heterogeneous soil environments.

Abstract
Sediment cores were collected from Taihu Lake in China. The chronology was determined by radionuclide. Heavy metals and magnetic properties of each core slice were assessed, respectively. The concentrations of most heavy metals in sediments surged at 20 cm from the surface, accompanying the increase in the concentrations of single-domain magnetic particles. This may be resulted from the influence of anthropic activities on the lake's environment after the 1970s. Two feature selection methods, random forest (RF) and maximal information coefficient (MIC), were combined with support vector machine (SVM) model to simulate heavy metals, with the inclusion of selected magnetic and physicochemical parameters. Compared with the modeling results obtained with the full set of parameters, a reasonable simulation performance was obtained with RF and MIC. RF performed better than MIC by increasing the R2 of simulation models for Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Sb. For heavy metals with high ecological risks (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Sb), the correlation coefficients for observed and predicted data ranged from 0.73 to 0.97 with only 14-27% of the parameters selected by RF as input variables. The RF-RBF-SVM enabled heavy metal predictions based on the magnetic properties of the lake sediments.

Abstract
Widespread soil contamination endangers public health and undermines global attempts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Due to the lack of relevant studies and low precision of spaceborne spectroscopy, estimating soil heavy metal concentrations is challenging. In this study, we developed a coupled retrieval to qualify the heavy metal nickel (Ni) concentration in agricultural soil from spaceborne hyperspectral imagery. The retrieval couples spectral feature extraction from multi-scale discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and dimension reduction (DR), optimal band combination algorithm to five machine learning retrieval models using tree-based ensemble learning, neural network-based, and kernel-based. The comparison between the retrievals and Ni measurements shows that the DWT combined with t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE) coupled extreme gradient boosting (XGboost) retrieval model exhibited the best prediction for the validation dataset. Moreover, due to the integration of six statistical indicators of model performance and the fitted slope of the regression line, the retrieval framework can produce more robust and accurate predictions than those that rely on correlation coefficients. The demonstrated potential of spaceborne hyperspectral remote sensing to provide accurate quantitative measurements of soil heavy metal concentrations will serve as a reference for agricultural plot applications worldwide.

Prediction of the concentration of cadmium in agricultural soil in the Czech Republic using legacy data, preferential sampling, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and ensemble models.

Abstract
The current study assesses and predicts cadmium (Cd) concentration in agricultural soil using two Cd datasets, namely legacy data (LD) and preferential sampling-legacy data (PS-LD), along with four streams of auxiliary datasets extracted from Sentinel-2 (S2) and Landsat-8 (L8) bands. The study was divided into two contexts: Cd prediction in agricultural soil using LD, ensemble models, 10 and 20 m spatial resolution of S2 and L8 (context 1), and Cd prediction in agricultural soil using PS-LD, ensemble models and 10 and 20 m spatial resolution of S2 and L8 (context 2). In context 1, ensemble 1, L8 with PS-LD was the cumulative optimal approach that predicted Cd in agricultural soil with a higher R2 value of 0.76, root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.66, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.35, and median absolute error (MdAE) of 0.13. However, with R2 = 0.78, RMSE = 0.63, MAE = 0.34, and MdAE = 0.15, ensemble 1, S2 of PS-LD was the best prediction approach in predicting Cd concentration in agricultural soil in context 2. Overall, the predictions from both contexts indicated that ensemble 1 of S2 combined with PS-LD was the most appropriate and best model for Cd prediction in agricultural soil. The modeling approaches' uncertainty in both contexts was assessed using ensemble-sequential gaussian simulation (EnSGS), which revealed that the degree of uncertainty propagated in the study area was within 5% in both contexts. The combination of the PS dataset and the LD along with ensemble models and the remote sensing dataset, produced promising results. Nonetheless, the results demonstrated that the 20 m spatial resolution band dataset used in the prediction of Cd in agricultural soil outperformed the 10 m spatial resolution. When PS is combined with LD, an appropriate modeling approach, and a well-correlated remote sensing dataset are used, good results are obtained.

Abstract
In the present work, we prepared MgO-La2O3-mixed-metal oxides (MMO) as efficient photocatalysts for degradation of organic pollutants. First, a series of MgAl-%La-CO3-layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors with different contents of La (5, 10, and 20 wt%) were synthesized by the co-precipitation process and then calcined at 600 °C. The prepared materials were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, TGA, ICP, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. XRD indicated that MgO, La2O3, and MgAl2O4 phases were found to coexist in the calcined materials. Also, XRD confirms the orthorhombic-tetragonal phases of MgO-La2O3. The samples exhibited a small band gap of 3.0-3.22 eV based on DRS. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was assessed for the degradation of two dyes, namely, tartrazine (TZ) and patent blue (PB) as model organic pollutants in aqueous mediums under UV-visible light. Detailed photocatalytic tests that focused on the impacts of dopant amount of La, catalyst dose, initial pH of the solution, irradiation time, dye concentration, and reuse were carried out and discussed in this research. The experimental findings reveal that the highest photocatalytic activity was achieved with the MgO-La2O3-10% MMO with photocatalysts with a degradation efficiency of 97.4% and 93.87% for TZ and PB, respectively, within 150 min of irradiation. The addition of La to the sample was responsible for its highest photocatalytic activity. Response surface methodology (RSM) and gradient boosting regressor (GBR), as artificial intelligence techniques, were employed to assess individual and interactive influences of initial dye concentration, catalyst dose, initial pH, and irradiation time on the degradation performance. The GBR technique predicts the degradation efficiency results with R2 = 0.98 for both TZ and PB. Moreover, ANOVA analysis employing CCD-RSM reveals a high agreement between the quadratic model predictions and the experimental results for TZ and PB (R2 = 0.9327 and Adj-R2 = 0.8699, R2 = 0.9574 and Adj-R2 = 0.8704, respectively). Optimization outcomes indicated that maximum degradation efficiency was attained under the following optimum conditions: catalyst dose 0.3 g/L, initial dye concentration 20 mg/L, pH 4, and reaction time 150 min. On the whole, this study confirms that the proposed artificial intelligence (AI) techniques constituted reliable and robust computer techniques for monitoring and modeling the photodegradation of organic pollutants from aqueous mediums by MgO-La2O3-MMO heterostructure catalysts.

Abstract
Considering the high toxicity of arsenic (As), its contamination of soil represents an alarming environmental and public health issue. Existing soil heavy metal concentration estimation models based on hyperspectral data ignore the spatial nonstationarity of the relationship between the soil spectrum and heavy metal concentration. A novel model (geographically weighted eXtreme gradient boosting or GW-XGBoost model) combining geographically weighted regression (GWR) method with XGBoost algorithm was proposed. The northeast district of Beijing, China, was chosen as a case study area to assess the effectiveness of the proposed model. The GW-XGBoost model was established to estimate the As concentration based on the typical spectrum of As and the spatial correlation between the spectrum and As concentration obtained using the GWR method, and the result was compared to that obtained with the XGBoost and GWR models. The accuracy of the GW-XGBoost model was obviously better than that of the other models (R2GW-XGBoost = 0.90, R2XGBoost = 0.48, and R2GWR = 0.74). Therefore, the proposed model is reliable, as it considers the spatial correlation between the spectrum and As concentration.

Abstract
Estimating heavy metal concentrations in soil-rice systems is of great significance to identify the factors controlling heavy metal transfer in soil-crop ecosystems. Recent research utilizes the advantage of convolutional calculations to extract and learn complicated information from 17 environmental covariates in rice and achieve promising results. However, as the complexity and interconnectivity in soil-crop ecosystem, just relying on convolutional calculations and a deep network structure is far from enough. The data processed by traditional deep learning technologies even with convolutional calculations are limited to Euclidean space; these architectures do not have the ability to extract information from the relationships in graph structures, which may contain rich information. Thus, in this paper, we try to integrate graph information into convolutional calculations for heavy metal prediction and propose a model named ConvGNN-HM. ConvGNN-HM combines the advantages of graph learning and convolutional calculations to predict heavy metal concentrations in a soil-rice system with analysis of 17 environmental factors. For comparison, we conduct an experiment to compare ConvGNN-HM with techniques with convolutional neural networks, multilayer perceptron, back-propagation neural networks, support vector machine, random forest, Bayesian ridge regression, and multiple linear regression. The experimental results illustrate that ConvGNN-HM got the best prediction values; the R2 values of ConvGNN-HM for cadmium (Cd), plumbum (Pb), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), and hydrargyrum (Hg) in rice were 0.84, 0.75, 0.79, 0.49, and 0.83, respectively, and the MAE values were also acceptable. We further conduct sensitivity analysis to demonstrate the stability and robustness of ConvGNN-HM. This study demonstrates the usefulness of combining graph learning and convolutional calculations in the prediction of heavy metal concentrations and provides a new perspective to build multidimensional and multi-scale complex ecosystem models.

Abstract
Efficiency improvement in contaminant removal by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is a multidimensional process involving membrane material selection and experimental condition optimization. It is unrealistic to explore the contributions of diverse influencing factors to the removal rate by trial-and-error experimentation. However, the advanced machine learning (ML) method is a powerful tool to simulate this complex decision-making process. Here, 4 traditional learning algorithms (MLR, SVM, ANN, kNN) and 4 ensemble learning algorithms (RF, GBDT, XGBoost, LightGBM) were applied to predict the removal efficiency of contaminants. Results reported here demonstrate that ensemble models showed significantly better predictive performance than traditional models. More importantly, this study achieved a compelling tradeoff between accuracy and interpretability for ensemble models with an effective model interpretation approach, which revealed the mutual interaction mechanism between the membrane material, contaminants and experimental conditions in membrane separation. Additionally, feature selection was for the first time achieved based on the aforementioned model interpretation method to determine the most important variable influencing the contaminant removal rate. Ultimately, the four ensemble models retrained by the selected variables achieved distinguished prediction performance (R2adj = 92.4 %-99.5 %). MWCO (membrane molecular weight cut-off), McGowan volume of solute (V) and molecular weight (MW) of the compound were demonstrated to be the most important influencing factors in contaminant removal by the NF and RO processes. Overall, the proposed methods in this study can facilitate versatile complex decision-making processes in the environmental field, particularly in contaminant removal by advanced physicochemical separation processes.

Abstract
Soil heterogeneity makes the vertical distribution of metal(loid)s in site soil vary considerably and poses a challenge for identifying the key factors of metal(loid)s migration in site soil profiles. In this study, a machine learning (ML) model was developed to study a typical abandoned Pb/Zn smelter using 267 site soils from 46 drilling points. Results showed that a well-trained ML model could be used to identify the key factors in determining the contamination vertical distribution and predict the metal(loid)s contents in subsurface soil. As, Cd, Pb, and Zn were the primary pollutants and their vertical migration depth arrived to 4-6 m. Based on the predictive performance of different ML algorithms, the extreme gradient boosting (XGB) was selected as the best model to produce accurate predictions for the most metal(loid)s content. Contents of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn in the heavily contaminated zones declined with an increase of soil depth. The metal(loid) contents in surface soil of 0-2 m could be readily used to predict the content of Cd, Cr, Hg, and Zn in subsurface soil from 2 m to 10 m. Based on the metal-specific XGB models, sulfur content, functional area, and soil texture were identified as key factors affecting the vertical distribution of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn in site soil. Results suggested the ML method is helpful to manage the potential environmental risks of metal(loid)s in Pb/Zn smelting site.

Abstract
In the context of increasing urbanization and global warming, there is a growing interest in the implementation of green infrastructure (GI) across different climates and regions. Identifying an appropriate GI design criteria is essential to ensure that the design is tailored to satisfy local environmental requirements. This article aims to compare the hydrological performance of GI facilities in eleven Swedish cities by isolating the effect of climatic conditions using an identical GI design configuration. Long-term simulations based on 23-years of meteorological time-series were used as inputs for the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) with Low Impact Development (LID) controls representing two types of facilities: a biofilter cell (BC) and a green roof. (GR). Large differences in potential annual and seasonal runoff retention were found between locations, driven mainly by the extent of winter/spring season, and the distribution of precipitation patterns (for BCs) and the sequence of rainy days-dry periods and evapotranspiration rates (for GRs). Winter/spring and summer demonstrated the highest/lowest differences between the seasons, results that suggest that implications for design might be aligned to the spatio-temporal distribution of precipitation patterns, and runoff regimes generated by snowmelt and rain-on-snow events, in locations where snowmelt represent high portion of runoff generation.

Hybrid machine learning approach for landslide prediction, Uttarakhand, India. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20101.

Abstract
Natural disasters always have a damaging effect on our way of life. Landslides cause serious damage to both human and natural resources around the world. In this paper, the prediction accuracy of five hybrid models for landslide occurrence in the Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand (India) was evaluated and compared. In this approach, the Rough Set theory coupled with five different models namely Bayesian Network (HBNRS), Backpropagation Neural Network (HBPNNRS), Bagging (HBRS), XGBoost (HXGBRS), and Random Forest (HRFRS) were taken into account. The database for the models development was prepared using fifteen conditioning factors that had 373 landslide and 181 non-landslide locations that were then randomly divided into training and testing locations with a ratio of 75%:25%. The appropriateness and predictability of these conditioning factors were assessed using the multi-collinearity test and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator approach. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F-Measures, and the area under the curve (AUC)-receiver operating characteristics curve, were used to evaluate and compare the performance of the individual and hybrid created models. The findings indicate that the constructed hybrid model HXGBRS (AUC = 0.937, Precision = 0.946, F1-score = 0.926 and Accuracy = 89.92%) is the most accurate model for predicting landslides when compared to other models (HBPNNRS, HBNRS, HBRS, and HRFRS). Importantly, when the fusion is performed with the rough set method, the prediction capability of each model is improved. Simultaneously, the HXGBRS model proposed shows superior stability and can effectively avoid overfitting. After the core modules were developed, the user-friendly platform was designed as an integrated GIS environment using dynamic maps for effective landslide prediction in large prone areas. Users can predict the probability of landslide occurrence for selected region by changing the values of a conditioning factors. The created approach could be beneficial for predicting the impact of landslides on slopes and tracking landslides along national routes.

Abstract
In this study, the enrichment factor (EF) and pollution load index (PLI) were used to evaluate the pollution of potential toxic elements (PTEs) in the soil near the oil production plants in central China, and the potential ecological risk (PER) and human health risk (HHR) assessment model were used to evaluate the PER and HHR caused by the soil PTEs in the study area. The mean EFs of all PTEs were greater than 1, PTEs have accumulated to varying degrees, especially Cr, Ni and Pb were the most serious. The average value of PLI was 2.62, indicating that the soil PTEs were seriously polluted. The average [Formula: see text] values of PTEs were Cr > Pb > Cd > Ni > As > Cu > Zn > Mn, of which Cr, Pb, Cd and Ni were at medium and above PER levels. Both adults and children in the study area suffered from varying degrees of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks. The total hazard index (THI) values of children (7.31) and adults (1.03) were all > 1, and the total carcinogenic risk index (TCRI) of children (9.44E-04) and adults (5.75E-04) were also > 10-4. In particular, the hazardous quotient (HQ) of Cr and Pb for children under the oral intake route were 4.91 and 1.17, respectively, caused serious non-carcinogenic risk. And the carcinogenic risk index (CRI) values of the PTEs in adults and children under the three exposure routes were Cr > Ni > > As > Pb > > Cd. Among them, the CRI values of Cr and Ni in children and adults by oral intake were both greater than 10-4, showing a strong carcinogenic risk. The results will provide scientific basis for environmental protection and population health protection in this area.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) often occurs in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). AKI duration is closely related to the prognosis of critically ill patients. Identifying the disease course length in AKI is critical for developing effective individualised treatment. To predict persistent AKI at an early stage based on a machine learning algorithm and integrated models. Overall, 955 patients admitted to the ICU after surgery complicated by AKI were retrospectively evaluated. The occurrence of persistent AKI was predicted using three machine learning methods: a support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, and extreme gradient boosting and with an integrated model. External validation was also performed. The incidence of persistent AKI was 39.4-45.1%. In the internal validation, SVM exhibited the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value, followed by the integrated model. In the external validation, the AUC values of the SVM and integrated models were 0.69 and 0.68, respectively, and the model calibration chart revealed that all models had good performance. Critically ill patients with AKI after surgery had high incidence of persistent AKI. Our machine learning model could effectively predict the occurrence of persistent AKI at an early stage.

Abstract
Toxic metals in river sediments may represent significant ecological concerns, although there has been limited research on the source-oriented ecological hazards of metals in sediments. Surface sediments from an industrial affected Rupsa River were utilized in this study to conduct a complete investigation of toxic metals with source-specific ecological risk assessment. The findings indicated that the average concentration of Ni, Cr, Cd, Zn, As, Cu, Mn and Pb were 50.60 ± 10.97, 53.41 ± 7.76, 3.25 ± 1.73, 147.76 ± 36.78, 6.41 ± 1.85, 59.78 ± 17.77, 832.43 ± 71.56 and 25.64 ± 7.98 mg/kg, respectively and Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb and Zn concentration were higher than average shale value. Based on sediment quality guidelines, the mean effective range median (ERM) quotient (1.29) and Mean probable effect level (PEL) quotient (2.18) showed medium-high contamination in sediment. Ecological indexes like toxic risk index (20.73), Nemerow integrated risk index (427.59) and potential ecological risk index (610.66) posed very high sediment pollution. The absolute principle component score-multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) model indicated that Zn (64.21%), Cd (51.58%), Cu (67.32%) and Ni (58.49%) in APCS-MLR model whereas Zn (49.5%), Cd (52.7%), Cu (57.4%) and Ni (44.6%) in PMF model were derived from traffic emission, agricultural activities, industrial source and mixed sources. PMF model-based Nemerow integrated risk index (NIRI) reported that industrial emission posed considerable and high risks for 87.27% and 12.72% of sediment samples. This work will provide a model-based guidelines for identifying and assessing metal sources which would be suitable for mitigating future pollution hazards in Riverine sediments in Bangladesh.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 432:128732. [PMID: 35334271 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The high concentrations of heavy metals in municipal industrial sewer networks will seriously impact the microorganisms of the activated sludge in the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), thus deteriorating the effluent quality and destroying the stability of sewage treatment. Therefore, timely prediction and early warning of heavy metal concentrations in industrial sewer networks is crucial. However, due to the complex sources of heavy metals in industrial sewer networks, traditional physical modeling and linear methods cannot establish an accurate prediction model. Herein, we developed a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network model based on a deep learning algorithm for predicting the concentrations of heavy metals in industrial sewer networks. To train the GRU model, we used low-cost and easy-to-obtain urban multi-source data, including socio-environmental indicator data, air environmental indicator data, water quantity indicator data, and easily measurable water quality indicator data. The model was applied to predict the concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, and Cr) in the sewer networks of an industrial area in southern China. The results are compared with the commonly used Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. In this study, it was shown that the GRU had better prediction performance for Cu, Zn, Ni, and Cr concentrations, with the average R2 significantly increased by 12.35%, 11.94%, 9.21%, and 8.13%, respectively, compared to ANN predictions. The sensitivity analysis based on Shapley (SHAP) values revealed that conductivity (σ), temperature (T), pH, and sewage flow (Flow) contributed significantly to the prediction results of the model. Furthermore, the three input variables including air pressure (AP), land area (A), and population (Pop.) were removed without affecting the prediction performance of the model, which maximized the modeling efficiency and reduced the operational cost. This study provides an economical and feasible technical method for early warning of abnormal heavy metal concentrations in urban industrial sewer networks.

Integrative artificial intelligence models for Australian coastal sediment lead prediction: An investigation of in-situ measurements and meteorological parameters effects.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) such as Lead (Pb) have played a vital role in increasing the sediments of the Australian bay's ecosystem. Several meteorological parameters (i.e., minimum, maximum and average temperature (Tmin, Tmax and TavgoC), rainfall (Rn mm) and their interactions with the other batch HMs, are hypothesized to have high impact for the decision-making strategies to minimize the impacts of Pb. Three feature selection (FS) algorithms namely the Boruta method, genetic algorithm (GA) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were investigated to select the highly important predictors for Pb concentration in the coastal bay sediments of Australia. These FS algorithms were statistically evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA) Biplot along with the correlation metrics describing the statistical characteristics that exist in the input and output parameter space of the models. To ensure a high accuracy attained by the applied predictive artificial intelligence (AI) models i.e., XGBoost, support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), an auto-hyper-parameter tuning process using a Grid-search approach was also implemented. Cu, Ni, Ce, and Fe were selected by all the three applied FS algorithms whereas the Tavg and Rn inputs remained the essential parameters identified by GA and Boruta. The order of the FS outcome was XGBoost > GA > Boruta based on the applied statistical examination and the PCA Biplot results and the order of applied AI predictive models was XGBoost-SVM > GA-SVM > Boruta-SVM, where the SVM model remained at the top performance among the other statistical metrics. Based on the Taylor diagram for model evaluation, the RF model was reflected only marginally different so overall, the proposed integrative AI model provided an evidence a robust and reliable predictive technique used for coastal sediment Pb prediction.

Abstract
Inadequate agricultural planning compounded by inaccurate predictions results in an inflated local market rate and prompts higher importation of wheat. To tackle this problem, this research has designed two-phase universal machine learning (ML) model to predict wheat yield (Wpred), utilizing 27 agricultural counties’ data within the Agro-ecological zone. The universal model, online sequential extreme learning machines coupled with ant colony optimization (ACO-OSELM) is developed, by incorporating the significant annual yield data lagged at (t − 1) as the model’s predictor to generate future yield at 6 test stations. In the first phase, ACO is adopted to search for suitable, statistically relevant data stations for model training, and the corresponding test station by virtue of a feature selection strategy. An annual wheat yield time-series input dataset is constructed utilizing data from each selected training station (1981–2013) and applied against 6 test stations (with each case modelled with 26 station data as the input) to evaluate the hybrid ACO-OSELM model. The partial autocorrelation function is implemented to deduce statistically significant lagged data, and OSELM is applied to generate Wpred. The two-phase hybrid ACO-OSELM model is tested within the 6 agricultural districts (represented as stations) of Punjab province, Pakistan and the results are benchmarked with extreme learning machine (ELM) and random forest (RF) integrated with ACO (i.e., hybrid ACO-ELM and hybrid ACO-RF models, respectively). The performance of the ACO-OSELM model was proven to be good in comparison to ACO-ELM and ACO-RF models. The hybrid ACO-OSELM model revealed its potential to be implemented as a decision-making system for crop yield prediction in areas where a significant association with the historical agricultural crop is well-established.

Abstract
This study aims to model, analyze, and compare the electrochemical removal of Navy-blue dye (NB, %) and subsequent energy consumption (EC, Wh) using the integrated response surface modelling and optimization approaches. The Box-Behnken experimental design was exercised using current density, electrolyte concentration, pH and oxidation time as inputs, while NB removal and EC were recorded as responses for the implementation and analysis of multiple linear regression, support vector regression and artificial neural network models. The dual-response optimization using genetic algorithm generated multi-Pareto solutions for maximized NB removal at minimum energy cost, which were further ranked by employing the desirability function approach. The optimal parametric solution having total desirability of 0.804 is found when pH, current density, Na2SO4 concentration and electrolysis time were 6.4, 11.89 mA cm-2, 0.055 M and 21.5 min, respectively. At these conditions, NB degradation and EC were 83.23% and 3.64 Wh, respectively. Sensitivity analyses revealed the influential patterns of variables on simultaneous optimization of NB removal and EC to be current density followed by treatment time and finally supporting electrolyte concentration. Statistical metrics of modeling and validation confirmed the accuracy of artificial neural network model followed by support vector regression and multiple linear regression anlaysis. The results revealed that statistical and computational modeling is an effective approach for the optimization of process variables of an electrochemical degradation process.

Abstract
Heavy metal (HM) pollution in coastal ecosystems have posed threats to organisms and human worldwide. This study comprehensively investigated the concentrations, sources, trophodynamics, contamination, and risks of six HMs in the coastal ecosystem of Jiaozhou Bay, northern China, by stable isotope analysis, positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation. Overall, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were significantly bio-diluted in the food web, while Cr was significantly biomagnified with a trophic magnification factor of 1.23. In addition, trophodynamics of the six HMs was different among fish, mollusk, and crustacean. Furthermore, detailed transfer pathways of six HMs in the food web including eight trophic levels were different from one another. Bioaccumulation order of the six HMs was Cu > Zn > Co, Cr, Ni, and Pb. Zinc concentrations were the highest in seawater, sediments, and organisms. Anthropogenic sources contributed to 71% for Zn, 31% for Cu and Pb, and 27% for Co, Cr, and Ni in the sediment, which was moderately contaminated with moderate ecological risk. However, the human health risk of HMs from eating seafood was relatively low. To protect the Jiaozhou Bay ecosystem, HM contamination should be further controlled in future.

Abstract
Metalloid contamination in the environment is one of the serious concerns posing threat to our ecosystems. Excess of metalloid concentrations (including antimony, arsenic, boron, selenium etc.) in soil results in their over accumulation in plant tissues, which ultimately causes phytotoxicity and their bio-magnification. So, it is very important to find some ecofriendly approaches to counter negative impacts of above mentioned metalloids on plant system. Brassinosteroids (BRs) belong to family of plant steroidal hormones, and are considered as one of the ecofriendly way to counter metalloid phytotoxicity. This phytohormone regulates the plant biology in presence of metalloids by modulating various key biological processes like cell signaling, primary and secondary metabolism, bio-molecule crosstalk and redox homeostasis. The present review explains the in-depth mechanisms of BR regulated plant responses in presence of metalloids, and provides some biotechnological aspects towards ecofriendly management of metalloid contamination.

Abstract
To ensure safe drinking water sources in the future, it is imperative to understand the quality and pollution level of existing groundwater. The prediction of water quality with high accuracy is the key to control water pollution and the improvement of water management. In this study, a deep learning (DL) based model is proposed for predicting groundwater quality and compared with three other machine learning (ML) models, namely, random forest (RF), eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and artificial neural network (ANN). A total of 226 groundwater samples are collected from an agriculturally intensive area Arang of Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, India, and various physicochemical parameters are measured to compute entropy weight-based groundwater quality index (EWQI). Prediction performances of models are determined by introducing five error metrics. Results showed that DL model is the best prediction model with the highest accuracy in terms of R2, i.e., R2 = 0996 against the RF (R2 = 0.886), XGBoost (R2 = 0.0.927), and ANN (R2 = 0.917). The uncertainty of the DL model output is cross-verified by running the proposed algorithm with newly randomized dataset for ten times, where minor deviations in the mean value of performance metrics are observed. Moreover, input variable importance computed by prediction models highlights that DL model is the most realistic and accurate approach in the prediction of groundwater quality.

Abstract
The development of computer aid models for heavy metals (HMs) simulation has been remarkably advanced over the past two decades. Several machine learning (ML) models have been developed for modeling HMs over the past two decades with outstanding progress. Although there have been a noticeable number of diverse ML models investigations, it is essential to have an informative vision on the progression of those computer aid models. In the current short review covering the simulation of heavy metals in contaminated soil, water bodies and removal from aqueous solution, numerous aspects on the methodological and conceptual HMs modeling are reviewed and discussed in detail. For instance, the limitation of the classical analytical methods, types of heavy metal dataset, necessity for new versions of ML models exploration, HM input parameters selection, ML models internal parameters tuning, performance metrics selection and the types of the modelled HM. The current review provides few outlooks in understanding the underlying od the ML models application for HM simulation. Tackling these modeling aspects is significantly essential for ML developers and environmental scientists to obtain creditability and scientific consistency in the domain of environmental science. Based on the discussed modeling aspects, it was concluded several future research directions, which will promote environmental scientists for better understanding of the underlying HMs simulation.

Abstract
This study investigates the performance of support vector machine (SVM), multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), and random forest (RF) models for predicting the lead (Pb) adsorption by attapulgite clay. Models are constructed using batch stochastic data of heavy metal (HM) concentrations under different physicochemical conditions. Implementation of auto-hyper-parameter tuning using grid-search approach and comparative analysis is performed against the benchmark artificial intelligence (AI) models. Models are constructed based on Pb concentration (IC), the dosage of attapulgite clay (dose), contact time (CT), pH, and NaNO3 (SN). Principle component analysis (PCA) and correlation analysis (CA) methods are integrated to assess the importance of the applied predictors and their relationship with the target. Research findings approved the potential of the grid-RF model as a marginal superior predictive model against the grid-SVM in terms of MAE, i.e., 3.29 and 3.34, respectively; moreover, the md scored the same, i.e., 0.93, which reveals the potential predictability for both. Nonetheless, grid-MARS and standalone MARS models remained likewise in their predictability. IC parameter demonstrated the highest influential among all the predictors with the highest value of importance in the case of all three evaluators. The solution pH and dose stands together with marginal differences in case of PCA method; however, solution pH and CT appeared with similarity impact using the PCA method.

Abstract
Hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) models are developed for sediment lead (Pb) prediction in two Bays (i.e., Bramble (BB) and Deception (DB)) stations, Australia. A feature selection (FS) algorithm called extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) is proposed to abstract the correlated input parameters for the Pb prediction and validated against principal component of analysis (PCA), recursive feature elimination (RFE), and the genetic algorithm (GA). XGBoost model is applied using a grid search strategy (Grid-XGBoost) for predicting Pb and validated against the commonly used AI models, artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). The input parameter selection approaches redimensioned the 21 parameters into 9-5 parameters without losing their learned information over the models' training phase. At the BB station, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values (0.06, 0.32, 0.34, and 0.33) were achieved for the XGBoost-SVM, XGBoost-ANN, XGBoost-Grid-XGBoost, and Grid-XGBoost models, respectively. At the DB station, the lowest MAPE values, 0.25 and 0.24, were attained for the XGBoost-Grid-XGBoost and Grid-XGBoost models, respectively. Overall, the proposed hybrid AI models provided a reliable and robust computer aid technology for sediment Pb prediction that contribute to the best knowledge of environmental pollution monitoring and assessment.
