This paper reviews the major sources and transport characteristics of heavy metals in the
hydrological cycle. It is demonstrated that heavy metal releases to the environment have …

This overview focuses on geochemical and geochronological investigations on dated
sediment profiles, used for the evaluation of the inventory and fate of persistent pollutants …

Arsenic ranks 20th in abundance in theearth's crust. 1 It is associated with igneous and
sedimentary rocks, particularly with sulfidic ores. 2 Natural phenomena such as weathering …

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the

The first edition of this Primer originally was developed in 1983, and published in 1985 as a
US Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 2277. It was designed to serve as a companion …

Chemical partitioning of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn, Ni) were determined in
surface sediments of three reservoirs at the Delta region of Cauvery River, India. The …

The concentrations of heavy metals in the roots, rhizomes, stems and leaves of the aquatic
macrophyte Phragmites australis (common reed), and in the corresponding water and …

The aim of this study was to determine if high concentrations of any heavy metals exist in the
sediment of Seyhan Dam reservoir to be considered toxic to the aquatic environment …

Inherent physical and chemical properties of mangrove muds confer an extraordinary
capacity to accumulate materials discharged to the nearshore marine environment. The …

Spatial distribution of metal concentrations in the surface sediment samples collected from
16 marine locations covering different coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses …
