Chromium as a severe anthropogenic geochemical anomaly in river sediments near a tannery outfall: spatial attenuation, source apportionment and ecological risk screening
Relocating a polluting industry can transfer contamination to a new receiving water body rather than eliminate it, yet the resulting sediment footprint is rarely resolved beyond surface contamination. This study quantified the spatial and depth-resolved sediment footprint of relocated tannery discharge in the Dhaleshwa...
