Urban stormwater and snowmelt pollution contributes significantly to the deterioration of
surface waters quality in many locations. Consequently, the sources of such pollution have …

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 …

Heavy metals (HMs) in soil cause adverse effects on ecosystem and human health.
Quantifying ecological risk and human health risk (HHR) from sources can determine priority …

To analyze the spatial distribution patterns, risks, and sources of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr,
Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe), 36 road dust samples were collected from an urbanized area of …

Urban road sediments act as large basins for heavy metal contaminants produced as a
result of natural processes and anthropogenic activities. This study is aimed at reviewing …

This review paper is the first that summarizes many aspects of the ecological role of trees in
urban landscapes while considering their growth conditions. Research Highlights are:(i) …

With the rapid development of modern industry, heavy metals in the soil introduce the risk of
serious pollution. To reduce this pollution risk, the following four research questions needed …

Atmospheric heavy metal deposition is widely occurring due to anthropogenic effects such
as industrial activities and motor vehicles. As a result, it has increased significantly and …

An in-depth understanding of the ecological and health risks posed by heavy metals
originating from various pollution sources is critical for foresighted soil-quality management …

The environmental release and transfer of heavy metal (loids) from natural and
anthropogenic sources to neighboring habitats can pose an ecological threat to the exposed …
