Moss in situ biomonitoring technique for the assessment of air pollution by potentially toxic elements in urban and rural areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Spatial distribution and geochemical assessment of arsenic, lead, and zinc in stream sediments from an agricultural region influenced by mining activities in Zacatecas, Mexico

Geochemistry, sources, human health and ecological risk of trace elements in soil from the Mirsarai export processing zone, southeastern coast of Bangladesh

Rapid industrial growth in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) has intensified concerns regarding trace element accumulation in soils and its environmental consequences. This study quantified twelve trace elements in soils from the Mirsarai Export Processing Zone using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) t...

Environmental assessment of the Ariyankuppam River, India: chromium and lead accumulation in Mugil cephalus and Azolla pinnata-mediated toxicity mitigation in Labeo rohita

Multi-Matrix Assessment of Potentially Toxic Elements Across Soil and Sambucus nigra Organs: Spatial Patterns, Regulatory Compliance, and Dietary Exposure of Edible Fruits

Urban environments may influence elemental exposure from wild edible fruits. This study evaluated spatial patterns, soil-to-organ concentration ratios, and food-safety implications of potentially toxic elements in soil and four Sambucus nigra organs collected from 94 sites across five ecological sectors in Oradea, Roma...

Bioaccumulation trends of microplastics and trace metals in Oreochromis niloticus: A health risk assessment in an urban coastal lake, India

Contents, Pollution Indices, and Multivariate Associations of Potentially Toxic Elements in Soils of the Ortaklar Region, Türkiye

Elevated potentially toxic element (PTE) contents in soils can pose important environmental concerns, particularly in regions where natural metal enrichment associated with ultramafic and mineralized geological settings overlaps with potential anthropogenic inputs. This study evaluates the distribution, enrichment, and...
