Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) is a powerful analytical tool that has been widely used
to obtain concentration and distribution data of target analytes in waters, soils, and …

The ubiquity of microplastics in the environment has attracted much attention on their risks.
Though newly produced plastics were considered inert to aqueous metals, a few studies …

Arsenic (As)-contaminated water restoration is extremely challenging because As
remobilization from sediments can result in episodic or long-term release of As to the …

The influence of overlying hydrodynamics on the exchange behaviour and fluxes of heavy
metals at the sediment-water interface (SWI) is poorly understood. In the study, metals …

Mercury is a risk in aquatic ecosystems when the metal is converted to methylmercury
(MeHg) and subsequently bioaccumulates in aquatic food webs. This risk can be difficult to …

To evaluate the level of contamination and predict the potential toxicity risk, selected metal
concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and As) were determined in 40 surface …

The application of bioavailability-based risk assessment for the management of
contaminated sediments requires new techniques to rapidly and accurately determine metal …

The comprehensive effects of environmental dredging on heavy metals (HM) are still
uncertain. This study comprehensively evaluates the long-term effects of dredging on the …

Assessing the risk of metal-contaminated sediments under disturbed conditions is
challenging due to the lack of methods that capture instant changes in metal bioavailability …

Stormwater ponds are widely used for controlling runoff quality through the sedimentation of
particles and associated pollutants. Their maintenance requires regular removal and …
