Two short sediment cores collected from mangrove areas of Manori and Thane creeks along Mumbai coast were analysed for sediment composition and metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, Zn, Cr and V). The statistical analysis of Pearson correlation matrix proved that there is a significant relationship between metal concentration and finer grain size in Manori creek while poor correlation was observed in...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the seasonal and spatial variations of heavy metal pollution in the overlying water and surface sediments of the Tiaozi River, a tributary of the Liao River, which is one of the seven major rivers and one of the most heavily-polluted rivers in China. Water and sediment samples were collected over four seasons, analyzed for heavy metals (Pb, Cu, N...

The assessment of heavy metal contaminants: Mn, Cr, V, Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni, was conducted on River Niger Floodplain soil at Jebba, Central Nigeria using Contamination Factor (Cf), Factor (AF), Enrichment Factor (EF), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo) and Degree of Contamination (Cdeg). Random sampling method was adopted cutting across the entire floodplain and the samples were subjected to Inductively...

The magnitude and ecological relevance of metal pollution from the upstream of water sources after emergency pollution events was investigated by applying a set of complementary sediment quality assessment methods: (1) geochemical assessment based on background value (the geoaccumulation index); (2) comparisons with sediment quality guidelines (SQGs); (3) an evaluation of the combined pollution...

Xi’an-Baoji Highway is one of the oldest and most important highways in northwest China. In this study, the concentrations (0-20 cm) of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cr at 5-1000 m distances in the roadside soils along Xi’an-Baoji Highway were experimentally determined to analyze their spatial distribution and evaluate their contamination levels. The spatial distribution (mg·kg) of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cr at 5-1000...

Kawasan muara merupakan salah satu ekosistem perairan yang sering mengalami kontaminasi logam berat seperti nikel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), timbal (Pb), dan merkuri (Hg). Kontaminasi tersebut biasanya berasal dari aktivitas manusia kegiatan rumah tangga, perkapalan, industri. Salah wilayah terletak di sekitar kawasan adalah laut Pulau Pasaran. ini terkenal sebagai sentra pembuatan ikan asin Provinsi ...

The present study seeks to both estimate and analyze the rate of heavy metal changes in soils road margins affected by traffic on Fasa-Darab Road, Iran. Muller index, contamination factor (CF), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), potential ecological risk (PERI), pollution load (PLI) were calculated determine rate. Principal component analysis was also employed most relevant parameters affecting PERI...

This paper describes the concentration of selected heavy metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the Mamut river sediments and evaluate the degree of contamination of the river polluted by a disused copper mine. Based on the analytical results, copper showed the highest concentration in most of the river samples. A comparison with Interim Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines (ICSQG) and Germany Sedi...

This study aimed to investigate the risk of element/heavy metal pollution caused by listvenitization. In this context, heavy listvenite-derived soils in region where listvenitized ultrabasic rocks are present as a result hydrothermal alterations vicinity Alakeçi (Bayramiç Çanakkale/Western Türkiye) was investigated with index, geoaccumulation index and integrated parameters. For purpose, Cu, Zn...
