Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are ubiquitous chemical compounds in the environment due to contamination of air, water, or soil. They primarily sourced from fossil fuel combustion, mining and smelting, electroplating, dyes pigments, agricultural treatments, plastic metallic industries. These contaminants can produce various adverse effects when they enter human body also affect crops aquatic...

Enhanced soil’s magnetic susceptibility reflects particles of anthropogenic/natural origin; therefore, it can be utilized as an indication soil contamination. A total 51 different land-use samples collected from Greater Cairo, Egypt, were assessed integrally using potentially toxic elements content (PTEs), susceptibility, and statistical spatial analysis. PTE concentrations compared to the worl...

Control of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in soil-polluted areas is needed to address the potential risk that pollution poses public health and environment. This study describes an innovative holistic methodology assess distribution PTEs. It based on application multi-variate statistical geostatistical algorithms, soil indices geochemical & geomorphological/climate variables (element concent...

The purpose of this paper is to understand the sources potentially toxic elements (PTE) and provide some suggestions control PTE pollution. For purpose, data from 30 monitoring stations for 2009–2018 were used assess concentrations Hg, Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, As in Yangtze River Estuary. varied significantly (P < 0.05) by one-way ANOVA ranges 0.002–0.224 (Hg, 0.043 ± 0.032), 0–9.700 (Cu, 1.600 1.000), ...
