This paper presents an analytical risk assessment of heavy metals (HMs) in twenty-three
rivers and two typical lakes across five different provinces of Nepal. The study examines …

Urban rivers are complex ecosystems that directly determine the living environment of
human beings. Monitoring the urban river water quality indexes is a challenge in water …

Abstract The Yangtze River Economic Belt is an essential ecological security barrier and
demonstration area for ecological civilization construction in China, so it is vital to prevent …

Heavy metals (HMs) exist in various chemical forms in marine sediments, and environmental
factors like the redox potential (Eh) can affect labile-bound HMs, harming aquatic life and …

Atmospheric deposition plays a significant role in introducing cadmium (Cd) into
agroecological systems; however, accurately determining its accumulation in crops through …

Trace elements contamination in estuarine and bay ecosystems has become a serious
problem, especially in bays with frequent aquaculture activities. To explore the pollution risk …

Excessive accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in sediments poses significant threats to the
aquatic ecosystems. This study comprehensively determined the spatial distribution …
