As a component of many minerals and an essential trace element in most aerobic
organisms, the transition metal element Cu is important for studying reduction-oxidation …

Non-exhaust emissions (eg, particles from brake pads, asphalt, curb, road paint, tire) are
important sources of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pollution in urban environments and …

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

In this study, Pb isotopic composition of bulk sediments and 1 M HCl leachates/residues of
samples from the Four Rivers' inlets to Dongting Lake (China) was determined to identify …

Increasingly, ecological rehabilitation is envisioned to mitigate and revert impacts of ocean
sprawl on coastal marine biodiversity. While in the past studies have demonstrated the …

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

The contamination of coastal environments by metallurgical wastes involves multiple
biogeochemical processes; accordingly, understanding metal behavior and risk evaluation …

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 …

The present study systematically analyzed and evaluated the variations in chemical
speciation, pollution assessment, and source identification of heavy metals in sediments of …

Copper, Zn and Pb isotope ratios are important tracers for understanding geological and
biological processes. We present optimised column separation methods using an anion …
