This paper reviews the factors affecting trace metal behaviour in estuarine and riverine
floodplain soils and sediments. Spatial occurrence of processes affecting metal mobility and …

For more than 4 decades, the Atoyac River in central Mexico has been subjected to
anthropogenic stresses driven by the urban and industrial wastewater discharges, as well as …

The mechanisms of pyrite formation are reviewed. Advances since 1994 in our
understanding of the mechanisms and rate of pyrite formation, the role of bacteria in the …

Chromium (Cr) is a redox-sensitive element in contaminated coastal urban soils. Sea level
rise (SLR) with subsequent soil inundation may facilitate Cr transformation and mobilization …

Rapidly spreading industrialization since the 19th century has led to a drastic increase in
trace metal deposition in coastal sediments. Provided that these trace metals have remained …

Three sediment cores were collected in the Scheldt, Lys and Spiere canals, which drain a
highly populated and industrialized area in Western Europe. The speciation and the …

Several trace elements occurring naturally in soil are required in low concentrations to
sustain biological processes and therefore living organisms (see Chapter 1). Trace elements …

Heavy metal pollution in sediments derived from the Deûle canal and sampled at different
sites not far from a smelting plant has been examined in the present work in order to identify …

Biologically mackinawite was synthesized by FRB and SRB culture solutions, which had
been shown a crucial role in removal arsenic under anaerobic environment. To investigate …

Diffuse metal pollution from mining impacted sediment is widely recognised as a potential
source of contamination to river systems and may significantly hinder the achievement of …
