Keywords: Environmental risk, soil, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, machine learning, industrial by-products, pollution issues.
Many heavy metals are both essential resources for our lives and toxic substances. For example, mercury is a liquid metal used in the production of alloys. Mercury can exist as a liquid or gas at room temperature and pressure, making it easy for humans to ingest. In particular, the highly toxic methylmercury undergoes bioaccumulation and exists in high concentrations in the environment.
"Environmental risk" is a field of study that evaluates both the effective use of resources necessary for industrial and agricultural purposes and the associated impacts on human health and the environment. Ignoring environmental risks in social development leads to environmental pollution and the emergence of public nuisances. Unfortunately, even today, environmental issues caused by heavy metal contamination persist in some developing countries.
In my research, using "environmental risk" as a keyword, I analyze the effective utilization of industrial by-products and evaluate the mobility characteristics of new substances in the ground environment through the use of advanced technologies such as machine learning for future predictions based on statistical analysis and 3D visualization of ground environments using X-ray CT.
