Heavy metal (HM) pollution in aquatic ecosystems has an adverse effect on both aquatic life
forms as well as terrestrial living beings, including humans. Since HMs are recalcitrant, they …

Abstract The Yellow Sea (YS) of China is facing severe mercury (Hg) pollution problems
while the concentration of Hg in the sediment is relatively low compared to its high discharge …

Mercury (Hg) concentrations in tropical forest soils and litter are up to 10 times higher than
those from temperate and boreal forests. The majority of Hg that has been stored in tropical …

We determined depth profiles of total mercury (T-Hg) in six 210 Pb-dated sediment cores
from Todos os Santos Bay to reconstruct the history of anthropogenic Hg accumulation. We …

The availability of dissolved inorganic mercury (DHg) in sediment pore water is a crucial
step for the mechanisms of methylmercury (MeHg) generation in the aquatic system. The …

India is an industrial giant with one of the fastest growing major economies in the world.
Primary energy consumption in India is third after China and the USA. Greater energy …

Sedimentary organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in hosting and reducing Hg II in
marine/estuarine sediment. This study provides a better understanding on the influence of …

India is industrializing rapidly and with this there comes higher releases of contaminants into
the environment. Change in Pb deposition over the last century on the eastern (off Andhra …

This study investigated the influences of varying dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in overlying
bottom water, sediment grain size, total sedimentary organic carbon (C org), and total …

Geochemical fractionation study of cadmium (Cd) in combination with equilibrium based
chemical speciation modelling (visual MINTEQ) in finer sediment samples (silt and clay …
