Systemic studies on the bioremediation of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals are
lacking, and this paper provides an in-depth review on the topic. The released sources and …

Coal remains a very important source of energy for the global economy. Surface and
underground coal mining are the two major methods of coal extraction, and both have …

Coal mining activities are causing an extensive range of environmental issues at both
operating and abandoned mine sites. It is one of the most environmentally destructive …

Coal combustion can release large amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
which persist in various environment matrices (eg, road dust) and hence cause the …

The contamination characteristics of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different
environmental functional areas are different. In this study, the contamination of PAHs in soils …

The Hg released from coal mining activities can endanger soil ecosystems and pose a risk
to human health. Understanding the accumulation characteristics of mercury (Hg) in coal …

Alkyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (APAHs) are more toxic and persistent than their
parent compounds. Here, the concentrations, composition profiles, and spatial distribution of …

Alkyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (APAHs) are more toxic and persistent than their

Petroleum-derived substances (PDSs) as main pollutants of the natural environment can
negatively affect the microbiological, biochemical, and biological properties of agricultural …

Coal mining can generate organic and inorganic contaminants that can be disseminated in
the surrounding soils by leaching and/or aerial deposition. This study aims to identify and …
