Physical, chemical weathering and volcanic eruptions release heavy metals into soils and
surface waters naturally. Contaminants from anthropogenic sources originated from …

Biomagnification of trace elements is increasingly evident in aquatic ecosystems. In this
review we investigate the drivers of biomagnification of mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and …

The present study aimed to quantify the concentration levels of potentially toxic elements
(PTEs) such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution in coastal ecosystems have posed threats to organisms and
human worldwide. This study comprehensively investigated the concentrations, sources …

Heavy metal pollution in Indian wetlands is rising due to industrial, agricultural and urban
development activities. Shorebirds occupy upper trophic levels and are therefore especially …

Aquatic ecosystems cover more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface and play a vital role in
maintaining a stable global temperature and providing various benefits to an expanding …

Air pollutants originated from natural and anthropogenic sources and able to bio-magnify
and bio-accumulate in the trophic levels, thus increase toxicity in the food chain. Various air …

Trophic transfer of metals has been well researched in aquatic food webs; however, most
studies have examined the presence of metal residuals in the entire body of marine …

To obtain a systematic knowledge on occurrence, partition, and risk of seven heavy metals
(Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Hg, and As) in multi-media of marine ecosystem, sediments, seawater …

The health risk caused by metal pollution is a global concern due to potential metal
bioaccumulation, toxicity, and carcinogenicity with multiple sources and pathways. Here, the …
