Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

Human and ecological exposure to micro-and nanoplastic materials (abbreviated as MP,< 5
mm) occurs in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Recent reviews prioritize the need …

Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

The oceanic biogeochemical cycles of the transition metals have been eliciting considerable
attention for some time. Many of them have isotope systems that are fractionated by key …

Copper and Zn metals are produced in large quantities for different applications. During Cu
production, large amounts of Cu and Zn can be released to the environment. Therefore, the …

We measured the Fe, Cu, and Zn isotopic compositions of the fluids generated during
leaching experiments with pyrite-, chalcopyrite-, and sphalerite-rich rocks and with a …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal pollutant. Various industrial activities, especially metal
smelting, are the main sources of Cd pollution. Cd isotopes have exhibited the ability to be …

In this study, we assessed past and present influence of ancient mining activity on metal
(loid) enrichment in sediments of a former mining watershed (Gardon River, SE France), that …

Abstract The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) Periodic Table of
the Elements and Isotopes (IPTEI) was created to familiarize students, teachers, and non …
