Many factors influence metal speciation in freshwaters. Metal species that are more soluble
are considered more bioavailable and toxic. However, evaluation of metal speciation in …

Heavy metal contamination in lake sediments is a serious problem, particularly in
developing countries such as China. To evaluate heavy metal pollution and risk of …

Spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metal (Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Hg) contents and
their ecological risks in the farmland along the shoreline of the Caohai wetland were …

The total concentrations and chemical forms of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in
the surface sediments of the Laizhou Bay and the surrounding marine area of the Zhangzi …

Sediment samples from the coastal area of Asaluyeh harbor were collected during autumn
and spring 2015. The acid-volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals …

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the potential sediment cumulative damage and toxicity
due to metal contamination in a polluted zone of Deûle river (in northern France) from …

Surface sediments were collected from the coastal waters of southwestern Laizhou Bay and
the rivers it connects with during summer and autumn 2012. The acid-volatile sulfide (AVS) …

An equilibrium partitioning approach (EqPA) was employed to evaluate the metal toxicity
and define sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium …

To track pollution status and bioavailability of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni, the current study's acid-
volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) models were compared to …

The spatial distributions of As and Hg in riverine and marine surface sediments of the
coastal southwestern Laizhou Bay were obtained, and multiple indices and guidelines were …
