Since their introduction in the late 1970s, sequential extraction procedures have
experienced a rapid increase in use. They are now applied for a large number of potentially …

Single and sequential extraction procedures are used for studying element mobility and
availability in solid matrices, like soils, sediments, sludge, and airborne particulate matter. In …

In this study we have worked on the evaluation of heavy metal contamination in the
sediments taken from the Tisza River and its tributaries, and thereby used the sequential …

Fractionation of the metals Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in sediments was performed for
samples collected from eight locations in the Poxim river estuary of Sergipe State, northeast …

The magnitude and ecological relevance of metal pollution of the middle Po river deriving
from the River Lambro tributary was investigated by applying different (complementary) …

Numerous indices have been developed to assess environmental risk of heavy metals in
surface sediments, including the total content based geoaccumulation index (Igeo) …

An intensive investigation was conducted to study the accumulation, speciation, and
distribution of various heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in sediments from …

The aim of the study was to investigate influence of an industrialized environment on the
accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils. Seventy soil samples collected from …
