Zinc is a ubiquitous metal, acting both as an essential and a toxic element to organisms
depending on its concentration and speciation in solution. Human activities mobilize and …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element that is involved in both biotic and abiotic processes in
Earth's surface environments. Over the last 20 years, advances in mass spectrometry …

Air pollution imposes serious health risks to urban populations and currently is the major
environmental threat to the public health worldwide. In this context, discrimination and …

Thirteen trace metals and Zn isotopic signatures were investigated in mussels and oysters
collected from the coast of South Korea to evaluate their bioavailability in bivalve mollusks …

The contamination of coastal environments by metallurgical wastes involves multiple
biogeochemical processes; accordingly, understanding metal behavior and risk evaluation …

In this work, a multi-elemental approach combining Cu and Zn stable isotopes is used to
assess the metal contamination evolution in the Loire estuary bulk sediments. Elemental …

Toulon bay is severely impacted by metal contamination induced by past and recent naval
activities. In this work, Cu, Zn and Pb isotope compositions and elemental concentrations of …

An old electroplating plant in Sepetiba Bay discharged metal-enriched wastes into the
surrounding mangroves for 30 years (from the 1960s to 1990s), resulting in a hotspot zone …

Abstract The Sepetiba Bay, Southeastern Brazil, has undergone intense environmental
changes due to anthropogenic influence. This work aims to:(i) evaluate the changes in the …

Abstract Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) stable isotopic compositions have been analyzed in
various species of bivalve mollusks worldwide, but no comprehensive systematic …
