Abstract Rivers originated from Tibetan Plateau are of great significance due to their
environmental sensibility and fragility. However, the pollution of suspended particulate …

Since the suspended particulate matter (SPM) is a vital heavy metal transporter of the river
systems, assessment of heavy metals contamination in SPM is significant as the first step of …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) strongly influences the solid-liquid partitioning and
migration characteristics of heavy metals, yet little is known about the metal distribution and …

Although sediments are considered to be a major sink for microplastics (MP), there is still a
relative lack of knowledge on the factors that influence the occurrence and abundance of MP …

Sediments were collected from the upper, middle and lower reaches of both urban and rural
rivers in a typical urbanization zone of the Pearl River delta. Six heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu …

Toxic and major elements, such as As and Fe, in watersheds can significantly impact the
surrounding water environment and ecosystem. Thus, in this study, we conducted an …

Due to the depositional environment, river deltas are said to act as filters and sinks for
pollutants. However, many deltas are also densely populated and rapidly urbanizing …

Water quality for the surface water along the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City was assessed
for four groups of water samples collected at the agricultural, industrial, residential, and less …

Abstract The Saigon River, Southern Vietnam, crosses one of the most dynamic developing
Megacity in Southeast Asia: Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The increased economic, industrial …

To investigate the abundance, water/particle interaction behavior, sources, and potential risk
of heavy metals in suspended particulate matter (SPM), a total of 22 SPM samples were …
