The objective of this paper was to stress the possible potential toxic element (PTE)
accumulation in the surface sediments of the Çavuşlu Stream (ÇS), as well as examining the …

Intense human activities, particularly industrial and agricultural output, has enriched metal
(loid) s in riverine sediment and endangered aquatic ecosystems and human health …

We evaluated groundwater quality, pollution, and its effects on human health in the eastern
part of the Lake Urmia basin, the largest lake in the Middle East. Although groundwater …

The evaluation of trace elements (TEs) in sediments of dam lakes is crucial for maintaining
ecosystem health. Therefore, it is very important to determine their concentrations, pollution …

Soil heavy metal (HM) pollution is an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human
health with rapid urbanization. Nevertheless, how soil HMs vary with the process of …

The environmental pollution caused by mineral exploitation and energy consumption poses
a serious threat to ecological security and human health, particularly in resource-based …

Metal enrichment in lake sediments originating from multiple sources can threaten both the
aquatic ecosystem and human health. Therefore, assessment of the eco-environmental risks …

River water and sediment embody environmental characteristics that give valuable
information about the eco-environment. Due to rapid unplanned urbanization and …

The contamination of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in road dust of large industrial cities
is extremely serious. Determining the priority risk control factors of PTE contamination in …

The potential for heavy metal (HM) pollution in agricultural soils adjacent to industries with
elevated HM emissions has long been recognized. However, industries with relatively lower …
