The distributions of the metals (Al, Fe, Mg, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured for the
surface sediments of the Vaigai river, Tamilnadu, India. These values are compared with …

Owing to the consequences of Anthropocene climate changes, extremes of weather and
climate disasters such as heavy precipitation, tropical cyclones, and floods, have …

Sediments were collected from 36 sites along the estuary of the Sibuti River in Sarawak,
Malaysia, during the South-west and North-east monsoons, and then subjected to metal …

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a new coal utilization technology with advantages of
high safety and high efficiency. However, the risk of hazardous trace elements (HTEs) in the …

Heavy metal pollution is a serious and widely environmental problem due to the persistent
and non-biodegradable properties of these contaminants. Sediments serve as the ultimate …

Geochemical partitioning of sediment bound metals in Cochin estuary were determined by
sequential extraction to unravel the processes controlling their distribution, mobility and …

This study assesses the ecological risk and impact of anthropogenic activities in the Cochin
estuary–a Ramsar site–by trace metal indices in surface sediment collected from thirteen …

The fractionation of 10 metals (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, V, and Zn) within labile
fractions in shallow marine sediments collected from the coasts of Sabah and Sarawak …

This study establishes a baseline for trace metal speciation in Qarun and Wadi El-Rayan
lakes. A five-step sequential extraction procedure was applied for the speciation of the Fe …

Heavy-metal contamination in coastal areas poses a serious threat to aquatic life and public
health due to their high toxicity and bio-accumulation potential. In the present study, levels of …
