This study assessed heavy metal (Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cd) and radionuclide (²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K) pollution and associated risks in the Likuyu River system, Tanzania. Surface water and sediments were collected from five sites along a 22.7 km river stretch, while soils and leafy vegetables were sampled from adjacent farms...
Heavy metal pollution in wetland ecosystems poses serious threats to aquatic biodiversity and human health, particularly in agricultural regions with limited environmental monitoring. This study assesses the distribution, sources, and health risks of eight trace metals: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), manganese...
The pollution of soil by potentially toxic elements in industrial–agricultural transition zones threatens global food security and public health owing to their persistence and bioaccumulation. This study focused on Miyi County, Sichuan (China), a typical region with intensive vanadium–titanium magnetite mining and mode...
Investigation of heavy metals in shrimp farming samples from selected farms in Barangays Dahican and Dawan showed elevated levels of chromium, iron, and manganese, whereas Dawan showed elevated levels of chromium, iron, and manganese, with nickel surpassing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration standards.
This study evaluated the accumulation and potential health risks of five heavy metals – Arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), thallium (Tl), palladium (Pd), and antimony (Sb) in the carrots grown in two regions of Kosovo. The authors analyzed soil and carrot samples to determine how much metal was in them. Then, the bioaccumulat...
This study investigated the accumulation and ecological risk of heavy metals in soils surrounding a major open dumpsite adjacent to the New Abattoir in Akerebiata Harmony Estate, Ilorin, Southwestern Nigeria. Ten representative soil samples were collected at 9 m by 45 m intervals and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Sp...
