Ecological and human health risks from railway-associated contaminants: a case study of trace metal and PAH pollution along a commuter line in Chittagong, Bangladesh
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...
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...

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...
