Heavy metal pollution of soils has been worsening increasingly in China, which brings
significant health risk to human, it is critical to investigate the sources of heavy metals in …

The distribution of trace metal micronutrients, which are crucial in many biotic enzymatic
reactions, in the eastern Indian Ocean is not well understood. Here, we measured the …

The concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in sediments from the Eastern
Indian Ocean were analyzed by GC–MS/MS to explore the status of contamination …

Reversible scavenging, the oceanographic process by which dissolved metals exchange
onto and off sinking particles and are thereby transported to deeper depths, has been well …

Material fluxes at the land–ocean interface impact seawater composition and global cycling
of elements. However, most attention has been focused on the fluvial dissolved fluxes. For …

Abstract Aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), and lead (Pb) are key trace elements
in seawater and thus significant in chemical oceanography research. However, although all …

Abstract Weddell Sea-derived Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is one of the most important
deep water masses in the Southern Hemisphere occupying large portions of the deep …

Abstract The Southern Ocean is the largest high-nutrient low-chlorophyll environment in the
global ocean, and represents an important source of intermediate and deep waters to lower …

To assess ocean-scale transport systems, we examined the latitudinal cross-sectional
distribution of 137 Cs activity concentrations in the Indian and Southern Oceans between …

Anthropogenic activities have resulted in enhanced lead (Pb) emissions to the environment
over the past century, mainly through the combustion of leaded gasoline. Here we present …
