The dynamic concentrations of labile metals/metalloids, measured by the Diffusive Gradients
in Thin-films (DGT) technique, can be used for evaluating the toxicity risk of heavy metals to …

The toxicities of heavy metals in sediments are related to their bioavailability, which is critical
for deriving reliable sediment quality guidelines. To evaluate the bioavailability of the metals …

Identifying the mobilization mechanisms and predicting the potential toxicity risk of metals in
sediment are essential to contamination remediation in river basins. In this study, a …

This research is one main objective to assess combined toxicity of trace metal mixtures in
aquatic biota in coastal sediments. Coastal sediments around the world are a major …

The spatial distribution of metal bioavailability (Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) was first evaluated within
the waters of Daliao River watershed, using the diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) and …

To develop efficient and effective methods of assessing and managing the risk posed by
metals to aquatic life, it is important to determine the effects of water chemistry on the …

Background The ecotoxicological risk posed by metals and their mixtures in sediments
depends on their bioavailability. Many methods for evaluating the bioavailability of metals in …

The heavy metal contamination of the aquatic ecosystem is still prevalent even after
reduction of the external anthropogenic inputs of the metals. The release of labile heavy …

Abstract The Jialing River is the tributary of the Yangtze River with the largest drainage area.
In recent years, the Jialing River has suffered a series of environmental problems, such as …
