The sediment cores and edible biota from the intertidal regions of the Aghanashini Estuary
were studied for the assessment of metal toxicity. The estuarine sediments received natural …

This study aimed to determine the content and spatial distribution of metals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Na,
K, Mn, Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Co) in sediments in the coastal zone of Ełckie Lake located in the area …

In the latest years, the concentration levels of certain metals and metalloids in the sediments
of the Galician Rías have shown an increasing trend (eg, As, Zn, Cu, Pb, Hg). These areas …

Heavy metals play a crucial role in the environment due to their toxicity, persistence, and
bioaccumulation ability, which can lead to severe ecological and health risks. This study …

Given increasing concerns about the environmental impact of heavy metal pollution,
assessing the level of contamination in floodplain suspended sediments is an important …

Abstract We analyze potential Late Holocene metal contamination along a sediment core
collected in the distal zone of Ria de Vigo (North Spain). Statistical treatment of the dataset …

Sediment cores collected representing main channel and subchannel mudflats of Mandovi
estuary were analyzed for sediment components, total organic carbon (TOC), the bulk metal …
