Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are generated due to incomplete burning of
organic substances. Use of fossil fuels is the primary anthropogenic cause of PAHs emission …

Elevated arsenic (As) in soil is of public concern due to the carcinogenicity. Phosphorus (P)
strongly influences the adsorption, absorption, transport, and transformation of As in the soil …

Abstract Metal accumulation (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in Korotoa River
sediment was studied in order to determine the metal content, distribution, sources, and their …

PAHs are organic pollutants that have carcinogenic and mutagenic impacts on human
health and are a subject of great concern. The soil-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …

Most PAHs produced by human activities can be absorbed and accumulated by edible
organisms and pose a potential hazard to human health. However, the source …

The accurate identification of sources for soil heavy metal (loid) is difficult, especially for
multi-functional parks, which include multiple pollution sources. Aiming to identify the …

Based on the concentrations of ten heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe) in
144 road dust samples collected from 36 sites across 4 seasons from 2016 to 2017 in …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic compounds that can persist for extended
periods in the environment. The marine environment is considered an important sink for …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and black carbon (BC) often coexist in PM 2.5
because both form during the incomplete combustion of organic matter. These compounds …

In this study, the influencing factors and sources of historical changes in polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediment core of Fuxian Lake were analyzed. Before 1970, the …
