This paper provides an overview of different methods of assessing the trace metal (TM)
contamination status of sediments affected by anthropogenic interference. The geochemical …

Increasing concentration of heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in the soil may impose a serious threat to living organisms due to their toxicity and …

Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can
be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into …

Phytostabilization of mine soils contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) requires
plants tolerant to PTE toxicity and to the poor soil physico-chemical characteristics of these …

Woody plants have gained considerable attention for remediating soils contaminated with
heavy metals because of their cost-efficient and ecologically friendly nature. However, most …

Globally, environmentally significant soils (ESSs) mainly include acid sulfate, heavy metal
(loid)-contaminated, petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated, pesticide-contaminated, and …

Biogenic copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were synthesized using the aqueous crude extract
of mangrove leaves, Avicennia marina (CE). GC-MS metabolite profiling of CE showed that …

This work aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between precipitation
regimes and concentrations of trace elements (Cu, Mn, Fe and Zn) deposited on the coast …

Invasive species usually grow in human-disturbed habitats including urban areas where
they face numerous pollutants, including metals that attract special attention due to their non …

The use of secondary treated wastewater (STW) for irrigation is considered as a strategy to
mitigate water shortage in summer periods. Unfortunately, the utilization of STW in …
