in the recent years, sediments are used for the assessment of pollution. since sediments have been in contact for a long time with over lying water, therefore they have been able to adsorb pollution on to their surface. in the present investigation, the surficial sediments of siahrud river have been analyzed. the loose, sulphide and organic bonds of metals with various sedimentary phases has be...

the heavy metals concentrations including zinc, copper, lead and cadmium (zn, cu, pb and cd) in water and sediments in gorgan bay and their accumulation in rutilus frisii kutum, acipenser persicus, rutilus rutilus caspicus and cyprinus carpio organs (gills, muscle, kidney and liver) were investigated. there was substantial increase in concentration of heavy metals ingoing from the water to the ...

Concentrations of lead, copper, cadmium, and mercury were determined in sediments and two selected marine organisms (Cynoglossus arel and Panulirus homarus) collected from Jask Port, Darak Port, Pozm Port, Gulf of Chabahar and Gowatr Port in the north coasts of the Oman Sea during pre (spring) and post (autumn) monsoon in 2017. Heavy metals concentrations were determined by atomic absorption sp...

the concentrations of some heavy metals in sediment from the sinop coasts of the black sea were measured to monitor metal pollution in 2013. the distribution of the heavy metals in sediments of the black sea shows a variable pattern. the objectives of the present study were to elucidate the distribution heavy metals such as cu, pb, zn, ni, mn, fe, as, cd, cr, hg and co in sediment from sinop co...

introduction a large volume of sediments are dredged from water bodies such as ports, waterways and wetlands and deposited on land. sediments are typically polluted by contaminants such as heavy metals. metals in sediments are in soluble, carbonate bound, fe-mn oxide, sulfide/organic matter bound and residual fractions. the metal solubility and mobility are mainly controlled by organic matter c...

eight selected heavy metals (cu, zn, pb, cd, cr, mn, fe and al) in surface and sub-surfacesediments in the northern coast of sfax (tunisia) were studied in order to assess the sediment quality and tohighlight the anthropogenic contributions to heavy metal distributions in the two study sediment levels.multiple chemometric approaches based on geographic information system (gis), enrichment facto...

Grain size and concentrations of heavy metals (arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn)) of 148 surface sediments and activities of 210Pb and heavy metal concetrantions of one sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary were analyzed. The surface sediments were dominated by silt and sandy silt. Sediment type controlled the spatial distributio...

The heavy metals concentrations including Zinc, Copper, Lead and Cadmium (Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) in water and sediments in Gorgan Bay and their accumulation in Rutilus frisii kutum, Acipenser persicus, Rutilus rutilus caspicus and Cyprinus carpio organs (gills, muscle, kidney and liver) were investigated. There was substantial increase in concentration of heavy m...
