Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the major toxic constituents of crude oil
and therefore, an understanding on PAHs associated risks and their relationship with soil …

The rising and continuous pollution of the soil from anthropogenic activities is of great
concern. Owing to this concern, the advent of digital soil map** (DSM) has been a tool that …

Environmental magnetic proxies provide a rapid means of assessing the degree of industrial
heavy metal pollution in soils and sediments. To test the efficiency of magnetic methods for …

As soil-extractable elements potentially pose ecological and health risks, identifying their
contamination characteristics and sources is crucial. Therefore, to understand topsoil trace …

Metal contents in bulk soil samples are commonly used to assess contamination but metal
accumulations in soils are known to increase with decreasing particle size. We investigated …

Coal gangue is practically used as a filling material for soil reclamation in the coal mining
subsidence areas. Due to the toxic elements enriched in coal gangue, the reclaimed soils …

Sediment contamination by heavy metals poses one of the worst environmental risks to
aquatic ecosystems worldwide. The study explored sediment-associated heavy metal …

Anthropogenic activities have caused the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil
environment. Pollution of the soils significantly reduces environmental quality and affects …

A geographic information system (GIS)-based chemometric approach was applied to
investigate the spatial distribution patterns of heavy metals in marine sediments and to …

Variations in the concentrations of particulate heavy metals and fluxes into the sea in the
Yellow River were examined based on observational and measured data from January …
