Toulon bay is severely impacted by metal contamination induced by past and recent naval
activities. In this work, Cu, Zn and Pb isotope compositions and elemental concentrations of …

In this work, a multi-elemental approach combining Cu and Zn stable isotopes is used to
assess the metal contamination evolution in the Loire estuary bulk sediments. Elemental …

Abstract The Sepetiba Bay (SB; SE Brazil) has been severely affected by growing of
urbanization and industrial activity. This work aims to analyze the evolution of contamination …

An old electroplating plant in Sepetiba Bay discharged metal-enriched wastes into the
surrounding mangroves for 30 years (from the 1960s to 1990s), resulting in a hotspot zone …

Multiproxy approach based on textural, mineralogical, geochemical, and microfaunal
analyses on a 176-cm-long core (SP8) has been applied to reconstruct the Holocene …

The spatiotemporal attenuation of Cd and Zn concentrations was assessed in sediments
from Sepetiba Bay, which is a coastal system that has been historically impacted by …
