Sundarban is the world's largest mangrove wetland and home of 4.6 million people (Indian
part), whose principal mode of communication is motorized boats (ferries). This study shed …

Re-suspended surface dust (RSD) often poses higher environmental risks due to its specific
physical characteristics. To ascertain the priority pollution sources and pollutants for the risk …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution has gained significant attention in mangrove sediments due to its
high toxicity and mobility. However, the sources of Cd and the factors influencing its …

Sediment cores from the central Algerian coast were collected to investigate the distribution,
sources and risk of trace metals. The local geochemical background of metals was defined …

Heavy metals (HM) are the major proximate drivers of pollution in the mangrove ecosystem.
Therefore, ecological risk (ER) due to HM distribution/concentration in core-sediment of Puzi …

Elevated lead (Pb) has been widely observed in mangrove sediments due to human
activities, yet understanding the sources of Pb in these sediments and the factors influencing …

Mangrove forests sequester organic carbon, nutrients and toxic metals sorbed to fine
sediment, and thus restrict the mobility of pollutants through estuarine environments …

In this study, alpha spectrometry and neutron activation analysis were applied to assess the
mass accumulation rate, contamination history, and ecological risk of the Sundarban …

Mangroves play a crucial role in filtering pollutants from water and sediments. However,
excessive accumulation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has harmful effects on marine …

The degradation from larger plastic to tiny pieces permits its extensive allocation in different
trophic levels and readily persists in the aquatic marshy food web. This first baseline …
