Mercury pollution is a rampant problem in many economically significant Philippine freshwater ecosystems. Communities dependent on these freshwater sources are therefore at risk for exposure to harmful levels of mercury. Various formulations of a novel gold-graphene oxide-iron oxide (Au-GO-Fe3O4) hy...
