Trace metals in Chun-su Bay sediments

Trace metals in sediments of four harbours in Guam.

Levels of heavy metals in sediments in the vicinity of Chabahar Bay desalination plant

Desalination plants are potentially capable of having impacts on coastal marine environments due to the production of wastewater with high concentrations of salts (brine discharge) and some heavy metals. The aim of this study was to examine the concentration of accumulated metals (Ni, Cu, Cd, Fe, Zn, Pb) in the sediments near the brine discharge point in the Chabahar Bay. Twenty one sediment sa...

heavy and trace metals in vembanad lake sediments

metal contents viz., cu, ni, co, zn and cd in sediment cores recovered from the vembanad lake, the largest estuarine-lagoonal system on the west coast of india, were analysed to understand the pollution levels and the impact on the coastal environment. of the three cores studied, vc-10 shown enrichment in all metals compared to other cores, as it is located in the vicinity of industrial area. f...

Using public participation to sample trace metals in lake surface sediments: the OPAL Metals Survey

Members of the public in England were invited in 2010 to take part in a national metals survey, by collecting samples of littoral sediment from a standing water body for geochemical analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first national sediment metals survey using public participation and reveals a snapshot of the extent of metals contamination in ponds and lakes across England. Hg, Ni, Cu, Zn...
