Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from 19 superficial marine sediment samples of a coastal
area in the Ligurian Sea were analysed for benthic foraminifera in order to recognize …

A new matrix‐matched reference material has been developed–NFHS‐2‐NP (NIOZ
Foraminifera House Standard‐2‐Nano‐Pellet)–with element mass fractions, and isotope …

The establishment of sustainable coastal industries requires better temporal and spatial
monitoring of heavy metal (HM) pollutants, even at low concentrations and during pulse …

Measuring environmental contaminants in coastal areas is critical for monitoring and
managing their impacts. Commonly used techniques involve repetitive field sampling, which …

This study was promoted by the recent efforts using larger benthic foraminiferal (LBF) shells
geochemistry for the monitoring of heavy metals (HMs) pollution in the marine environment …

Cr (VI) is a major heavy metal contaminant that poses great threats to aquatic ecosystems
and human health. To guarantee the safety of water quality, the development of in-situ and …

Heavy metals in coastal waters are a great environmental concern in the North Sea since
the middle of the 20th century. Regulatory efforts have led to a significant reduction in …

Heavy metal pollution originating from anthropogenic sources, eg mining, industry and
extensive land use, is increasing in many parts of the world and influences coastal marine …

This work documents the presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the sediment and
in tests of Ammonia tepida, one of the most common benthic foraminifera species in coastal …

Benthic foraminifera are valuable indicators in environmental studies, including those on
marine pollution monitoring. While a great deal of foraminiferal biomonitoring research …
