Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

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 …

Anthropogenic activities release large quantities of heavy metals into the atmosphere. In
China, the input of these heavy metals through local and trans-boundary atmospheric …

Background Particles from non-exhaust emissions derived from traffic activities are a
dominant cause of toxic metal pollution in urban environments. Recently, studies applying …

Copper (Cu) stable isotopes can elucidate the biogeochemical controls and sources
governing Cu dynamics in aquatic environments, but their application in larger rivers and …

Although silver ion in the solution is an important factor affecting the biodissolution of
chalcopyrite, the effect of silver ion on the release of copper ion from chalcopyrite to the …

The development of the economy and society makes heavy metals (HMs) pollution more
and more serious. And, pollution source identification is the primary work of environmental …

The heavy metal pollution, mainly caused by mining-related activities over extended period
of time, is imposing a severe threat to environments and human health. Environmental …

The intensive use of copper (Cu) compounds as an alternative biocide in antifouling paints
(APs) has resulted in wide Cu contamination into the marine environment, especially near …

Metal release into the environment from anthropogenic activities may endanger ecosystems
and human health. However, identifying and quantifying anthropogenic metal …
