Assessing coastal environmental impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Alang-Sosiya Shipbreaking Yard sediments: Source distribution and human–ecological risk assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Heavy Metals in Rivers and Creeks around Gokana LGA, Rivers State

This study assessed the environmental impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in water, sediment, and biota from fifteen (15) sampling stations along the Bodo River in Gokana Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. The primary objective was to evaluate the concentration levels of PAHs a...

Coastal sustainability in the red sea: implications of organic contaminants

Surface water quality monitoring in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, major anions, physicochemical parameters, and seasonal trends

MULTI-CONTAMINANT POLLUTION BURDEN IN NIGERIAN FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FROM HEAVY METALS, HYDROCARBONS, PESTICIDES, AND MICROPLASTICS FOR INTEGRATED RISK ASSESSMENT

Nigerian freshwater ecosystems are subjected to multiple exposures of heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides and microplastics. This co-exposure makes risk assessment of contaminants alone more complex and underestimates the combined ecological exposure and impact on aquatic...

POPs Contamination of Aquatic Sediments of the Cerna River Watershed, Romania—Prevalence, Pollution Sources, and Ecological Risk Assessment

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and pollution sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in sediments of the Cerna River and its main tributaries, and to assess the associated ecological risk on aquatic ecosystem. The compounds w...

Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Pahs) And Heavy Metals Contaminations in Surface Water and Sediments of Oil Impacted Rivers in Khana LGA, Rivers State, Nigeria

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is highly vulnerable to environmental pollution due to extensive oil exploration and industrial activities, resulting in the contamination of aquatic ecosystems with heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study assessed the concentrations of heavy metals and...
