Abstract The Laguna Estuarine System (LES), southern Brazil, suffers impacts from
anthropogenic activities, releasing contaminants into the ecosystem. This study evaluated …

Assessing metal distributions in cities is an important aspect of urban environmental quality
management. Western honeybees (Apis mellifera) and their products are biomonitors that …

Honey from Apis mellifera is a useful and inexpensive biomonitor for map** metal
distributions in urban centers. The sampling resolution of a biomonitoring survey (eg, city …

Identifying the provenance of marine animals yields fundamental data on a species' ecology
and life history and enables the geolocation of individuals for food forensic applications …

The paper presents a comparative analysis of biomonitoring research results using hair
mineral analysis today and 10 years ago. The aim of the present work was to examine the …

Metals are considered to be one of the most hazardous substances due to their potential for
accumulation, magnification, persistence, and wide distribution in water, sediments, and …

Lead (Pb) is a toxic element which is released as a result of anthropogenic activities, and Pb
stable isotope ratios provide a means to distinguish sources and transport pathways in …

In an era of unprecedented industrial and agricultural growth, metal contamination in marine
environments is a pressing concern. Sentinel organisms such as the mangrove oyster …

Honeybees and their products are useful biomonitors of metal distribution in urban centres.
This study investigates particulate sources that foraging honeybees encounter in Metro …

The behavior, and history of lead (Pb) contamination in the ecosystem of the Loire estuary
