The increased production and consumption scale of plastic items has led to the generation
of microplastics (MPs), an emerging class of contaminants, in our environment. MPs are …

Heavy metals (HMs) are ubiquitous; they are found in soil, water, air, and all biological
matrices. The toxicity, bioaccumulation potential, and deleterious effects of most of these …

In the present study, the concentration levels of heavy metals such as Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As
and Pb in soil samples collected from 88 sampling locations around Sinop Province, Turkey …

Thamirabharani river acquires a noticeable quantity of sewage and agriculture waste from
local inhabitants. The distribution of heavy metals in the surface sediments of the …

Microplastics (MPs) and its associated organic and inorganic contaminants are one among
the significant health hazards to almost all biota, including human. We investigated the …

The study on metal (loid) contamination of sediment in river upstream is lacking. The
content, pollution, risk and source of ten metal (loid) s (As, Co, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, V, Mn, Ba, and …

This work initially describes two ratiometric fluorescent nanosensors that use dual-and three-
emission carbon dot (CD) nanohybrids for highly sensitive detection of sub-nanomolar Pb …

The dual functional detection and removal of heavy ion metals by carbon dots has become
an urgent matter of concern. Here, a unique fluorescent carbon dot-magnetic …

Estuaries are transition zones between freshwater and seawater. There are only few studies
on microplastic (MPs) pollution in estuaries. In this study, investigating the spatiotemporal …

The objective of the present study was to conduct an ecological and health risk assessment
of heavy metals in the seawater of the southeast coast of India. The distribution profile of …
