A three-year study, designed to record the level of potentially toxic elements within urban complex in city Volos, Greece, was carried out between 2018 and 2020. For needs aforementioned 62 surface (0–15 cm) soil samples were collected each year (i.e., 186 total) from an area 3.65 km2, average value pseudo-total metal concentration measured. Soil pollution indices, such as contamination factor ...

The concentration of selected trace metals (Fe, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along Kanyakumari coast, India. Toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...

The cement industry is considered as a major source of heavy metals pollution in topsoil. This study aims at measuring the metal contamination level vicinity Shiraz factory, and assessing ecological environmental risks associated with factory's activities surrounding To do so, 10 samples soil were taken from around factory depth 0-10 cm concentration some including Al, Cd, Ni, Pb was measured. ...

Coastal aquatic ecosystems are environments increasingly affected by human activities due to urban discharges and their use as dumps. The objective of this study is determine the profiles metallic elements concentration (Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) Cotonou channel sediments evaluate quality. For this, surface (0-5cm) were sampled at 13 sites along channel. Thus,Geoaccumulation I...

The objectives of this study are to use different types of indexes to assess the current pollution status in Mengkabong lagoon and select the best index to describe the Mengkabong sediment quality. The indexes used in this study were Enrichment Factor (EF), Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), Pollution Load Index (PLI) and Marine Sediment Pollution Index (MSPI). Different indexes give diverse status...

This study aimed to investigate the risk of element/heavy metal pollution caused by listvenitization. In this context, heavy listvenite-derived soils in region where listvenitized ultrabasic rocks are present as a result hydrothermal alterations vicinity Alakeçi (Bayramiç Çanakkale/Western Türkiye) was investigated with index, geoaccumulation index and integrated parameters. For purpose, Cu, Zn...

As distribuições de Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Fe e Al foram investigadas em sedimentos superficiais coletados em 19 sítios da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Sergipe, Nordeste do Brasil. Foi definida uma base geoquímica para a região (RGB) usando o ferro como elemento de referência. Fatores de enriquecimento (EF) e índice de geoacumulação (Igeo) foram empregados para determinar a contribuição por orige...
