Abstract

A grafting process has been found to be effective in producing sieves that bind quantitatively more heavy metal ions than standard techniques. The sieves were made using covalent grafting of 3-mercaptopropylsilyl groups MCM-41 and HMS to the framework pore walls. The functionalized HMS derivative has found to bind more mercury (II) ions than the initially anionic MCM-41 derivative.

Abstract

Elemental mercury is used in folk medicine and in certain religious practices in the Latin American and Caribbean communities. However, exposure to mercury can cause serious health problems including neurotoxicity. There are, therefore, concerns that mercury users are exposing themselves to dangerous levels of this toxicant. A survey was conducted to determine the use pattern of elemental mercury in the Latin American and Caribbean communities in New York City. Two hundred and three adults participated in the survey. Forty-four percent of the respondents from the Caribbean and 27% from Latin America stated that they have knowledge of such cultural uses.
