Estuarine pollution imposes rapid, increasing and lasting environmental modifications. In the
present review, especial attention is given to estuaries in South America (SA), where …

This paper discusses the distribution patterns of trace metals in sediments and suspended
particulate matter (SPM) in the three main estuaries of the Todos os Santos Bay (BTS) …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of metal pollution of the
sediments from urban-stream, estuary and Jinzhou Bay of the coastal industrial city, NE …

Identifying the transformations of heavy metal in different media is a scientific issue, and
geographical detector is applied to evaluate the spatiotemporal stratified heterogeneity …

The total concentrations and chemical forms of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in
the surface sediments of the Laizhou Bay and the surrounding marine area of the Zhangzi …

The use of zinc isotopes to trace anthropogenic sources in coastal areas has been tested in
this study. We determined the stable isotopic composition of zinc in sediment cores …

In order to assess the impact of recent industrialization and land-use changes in the Can Gio
Mangrove Forest, a Biosphere Reserve in Southern Vietnam, we analyzed heavy metal …

The contamination of coastal environments by metallurgical wastes involves multiple
biogeochemical processes; accordingly, understanding metal behavior and risk evaluation …

Surface sediments in the Futian mangrove forest (South China) were analyzed for heavy
metals including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The …

Temporal trends in heavy metal pollutants were reconstructed from the analysis of four
sediment cores collected from intertidal areas in Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland …
