Heavy metals (HMs) are natural elements present in the Earth's crust, characterised by a
high atomic mass and a density more than five times higher than water. Despite their origin …

Long-term exposure to urban dust containing potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses
detrimental impacts on human health. However, studies estimating human health risks in …

This study explore the characteristics of heavy metal pollution, contamination levels, and
potential ecological risks in riverine sediments found in both gold mining and pristine areas …

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR;
Pseudomonas strain So_08) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Rhizoglomus …

High concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) in urban surface dust (USD) can be extremely
hazardous to urban ecology and human health. Oasis cities are located at the edge of …

Urban environmental risks are related to dynamic and long-term cross-processes arising
from complex interconnected relationships. Although they have various sources, trace …
