Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that is widely distributed in the environment.
Both geogenic and anthropogenic sources can elevate Cd concentrations in soils and …

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that adversely affects humans, animals, and
plants, even at low concentrations. It is widely distributed and has both natural and …

The rational for the study was to review the literature on the toxicity and corresponding
mechanisms associated with lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) …

Human population density within 100 km of the sea is approximately three times higher than
the global average. People in this zone are concentrated in coastal cities that are hubs for …

Nanoremediation strategies applied to contaminated river sediments can induce changes in
the mobility and bioavailability of metals with potential consequences on ecosystem health …

The frequency and duration of flooding events is increasing due to land-use changes
increasing run-off of precipitation, and climate change causing more intense rainfall events …

Biofouling increases drag on marine vessels resulting in higher fuel consumption and can
also facilitate the transport of harmful non-indigenous species (NIS). Antifouling …

This paper reviews the factors affecting trace metal behaviour in estuarine and riverine
floodplain soils and sediments. Spatial occurrence of processes affecting metal mobility and …

The concentrations and the amount of cumulative release of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr,
and Pb) in contaminated sediments collected from combined sewer system were …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are amongst the most abundant contaminants
found in the aquatic environment. Due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity, their sources …
