Three-stage sequential extraction BCR was applied to surface sediments from the west part of Guanabara Bay to assess the mobility of Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, and Mn. Results were …
A three-step sequential extraction procedure, which was based on the BCR method, was used to analyse Guanabara Bay sediment samples to evaluate the potential mobility of …
Marinas are central hubs of global maritime leisure and transport, yet their operations can deteriorate the environmental quality of sediments. In response, this study investigated the …
Isotope ratios of lead (Pb) are increasingly applied to trace pollution sources in marine settings, using mostly carbonate remains of living organisms. However, this data has never …
The Sepetiba Bay is a coastal lagoon separated from the ocean by beach barrier located 60 km from Rio de Janeiro city. Situated in the most important economic region in Brazil, the …
The present study aims to define the possible sources that contribute to the level of Pb into the Brunei Bay, Borneo. The cluster analysis has classified the bay into the northern part …
