Anthropogenic activities may lead to increased levels of heavy metals in soil environment
and to reduced environmental quality. In this study concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Co …

This study aims to specify the source minerals of geogenic chromium in soils and sediments
and groundwater and to determine the favorable hydrogeological environment for high …

The effect of traffic on the content of lead and cadmium in grass morphological parts—
leaves, shoots, and inflorescences—was studied. The samples were taken on a part of the …

In the present study, we approach the geochemical processes affecting the hydrochemistry
and resulting in elevated concentrations of hexavalent chromium (Cr 6+) in groundwater of …

The aim of this paper is to provide a methodology including statistical tools and spatial
techniques, in order to identify the various potential sources of chromium (Cr tot) in the …

Natural levels of heavy metals (HM) have increased during the industrial era to the point of
posing a serious threat to the environment. The use of tree species to record contamination …

Forest species in the course of their evolution have experienced several environmental
challenges, which since historic times include anthropogenic pollution. The effects of …

Enrichment factors for Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in floodplain fines from the middle and the lower
courses of the Jizera River (a tributary of the Elbe River in the Czech Republic) were …

In this study, we determined the concentrations of heavy metals in the agricultural soils of
Kafr El-Zayat city using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA …

In industrialised areas rivers and their floodplains are often highly polluted. The historic
contamination of floodplains offers an important archive of past polluting activities and fluvial …
