We reviewed over 226 studies dealing with arsenic (As) in water bodies (124 sites or
regions; 5,834 samples), soils (44; 2,700), sediments (56; 765), rocks (6; 85), mine waste …

Abstract The Gulf of California (GC) is an unique large ecosystem characterized by its rich
biodiversity, high biological productivity and endemism of marine life. However, as many …

A detailed investigation of seven heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, As, Pb, Zn, Ni) in the water
column, interstitial water and surface sediment was conducted to quantify the extent of their …

Previous studies revealed that Honghu Lake was polluted by trace elements due to
anthropogenic activities. This study investigated the spatial distribution of trace elements in …

Despite the current environmental concern regarding the risk posed by contamination in
marine ecosystems, the concentrations of pollutants in sea turtles have not been thoroughly …

Abstract Inorganic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, Al, As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Se and Zn) are present
globally in aquatic systems and their potential transfer to marine turtles can be a serious …

A large number of nesting loggerhead sea turtles (n= 201) were sampled to establish the
blood levels of 11 elements (Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, As, Al, Hg, and Se). Almost all of the …

The aerobic oral and cloacal bacterial microbiota and their antimicrobial resistance were
characterized for 64 apparently healthy sea turtles captured at their foraging grounds in Ojo …

In this paper we determined the levels of 63 environmental contaminants, including organic
(PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, and PAHs) and inorganic (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg and Zn) …

Metals are persistent worldwide being harmful for diverse organisms and having complex
and combined effects with other contaminants in the environment. Sea turtles accumulate …
