TL;DR: In this article, three sediment cores were collected in the Scheldt, Lys and Spiere canals, which drain a highly populated and industrialized area in Western Europe, and the speciation and the distribution of trace metals in pore waters and sediment particles were assessed through a combination of computational and experimental techniques.
112 citations
TL;DR: Evaluating the potential sediment cumulative damage and toxicity due to metal contamination in a polluted zone of Deûle river from nearby two smelters revealed that Cd contributed to the highest pollution levels, followed by Zn, Pb and to a much lesser extent Cu and Ni.
90 citations
TL;DR: Comparison with data from the official monitoring programme from the French Water Agency showed that the POCIS is already suitable for both operational and investigative monitoring and an innovative procedure for using passive sampler data for compliance checks in the framework of surveillance monitoring is proposed.
81 citations
TL;DR: HLB-DGT could constitute an interesting alternative to other passive samplers for the monitoring of several anionic pesticides in aquatic systems but more work is required for quantification of molecules from hydroxybenzonitrile chemical group (ioxynil).
77 citations
TL;DR: The passive sampler Chemcatcher(®), which was developed in 2000, can be adapted for various types of water contaminants depending on the materials chosen for the receiving phase and the membrane.

TL;DR: The physical interactions of early microbial colonization on plastic surfaces and their reciprocal influence on the weathering processes and vertical transport as well as sorption and release of contaminants by MP are reviewed.
Abstract: In the aquatic environment, microplastic (MP; <5 mm) is a cause of concern because of its persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Studies of microlitter impacts are mostly based on virgin and spherical polymer particles as model MP. However, in pelagic and benthic environments, surfaces are always colonized by microorganisms forming so-called biofilms. The influence of such biofilms on the fate and potential effects of MP is not understood well. Here, we review the physical interactions of early microbial colonization on plastic surfaces and their reciprocal influence on the weathering processes and vertical transport as well as sorption and release of contaminants by MP. Possible ecological consequences of biofilm formation on MP, such as trophic transfer of MP particles and potential adverse effects of MP, are virtually unknown. However, evidence is accumulating that the biofilm−plastic interactions have the capacity to influence the fate and impacts of MP by modifying the physical propertie...

TL;DR: The mechanisms of sediment properties such as acid-volatile sulfides, organic matter, texture and geology, organism behaviors as well as those influencing the bioavailability of metals were analyzed and it is expected that some novel synthetic materials like polysulfides, nano-materials, provide the substantial amendments for metals pollution in sediment.

TL;DR: The biochemiCal processes involved in the over production of ROS as an aftermath to heavy metal exposure are summarized and the ROS scavenging process that is associated with the antioxidant defense machinery is described.
Abstract: Environmental contamination by hazardous environmental pollutants is a widespread and increasingly serious problem confronting society, scientists, and regulators worldwide (Debenest et al 2010; Hajeb et al 2011; Nanthi and Bolan 2012; Shahid et al 2013a) Among these pollutants, the heavy metals, are a loosely-defined group of elements that are similar in that they all exhibit metallic properties, and have atomic masses >20 (excluding the alkali metals) and specific gravities >5 (Rascio and Navari-Izzo 2011) This group mainly includes transition metals, some metalloids, and the lanthanides and actinides Heavy metals can be toxic to plants, animals and humans, even at very low concentrations Heavy metals are natural components of the earth’s crust and are present in different concentrations at different sites (Shahid et al 2012a)

TL;DR: Pb speciation knowledge is needed to discuss phyto-toxicity data and improved soil phytoremediation techniques, and three kinds of organic ligands selected for this review include: ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid, low molecular weight organic acids, and humic substances.
