With the increasing development of industry and urbanization, heavy metal contaminated
sites have become progressively conspicuous, particularly by unreasonable emissions from …

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 …

The contamination of heavy metals in urban soil and dust is closely related to anthropogenic
emissions, while to what extent the metal contamination varies among different functional …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, especially the northeastern region, is not a pure land
any more due to recently increasing anthropogenic activities. This study collected soil …

The concentrations of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) and major metals (Al,
Fe and Ti) in 42 surface sediment (0–2 cm) samples from Erhai Lake, a large eutrophic …

The study on metal (loid) contamination of sediment in river upstream is lacking. The
content, pollution, risk and source of ten metal (loid) s (As, Co, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, V, Mn, Ba, and …

The heavy metal accumulation in the Tibet Plateau (TP) poses a serious ecologic risk to the
health of human and the other biota. Given the TP far away from the large anthropogenic …

Dam construction has a far-reaching impact on trace metal accumulation and the metal-
induced quality of the aquatic environment. However, the long-term impacts of dam …

Atmospheric heavy metal (HM) pollution may pose a significant threat to the fragile
ecosystem of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). To investigate potential atmospheric HM …

Despite that organic phosphorus (Po) is a source of bioavailable P during the early stage of
soil development, it remains unclear whether P availability or organic carbon (C) …
