Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal distribution and contamination status in the sedimentary environment of Cochin estuary.
TL;DR: Correlations between metals, organic carbon, silt and clay suggested that both fine grained sediment and organic matter were important carriers for these metals, whereas enriched levels of Cd, Cr, Zn and Pb were mainly attributed to anthropogenic activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal concentrations in some gastropods and bivalves collected from the fishing zone of South India.
TL;DR: The baseline study suggests that the levels of toxic metals in M. trapa, T. curta, and B. spinosa should be continuously monitored to assess the fate and effects of these metals in this fragile ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of metal enrichment and trophic status on the basis of biogeochemical analysis of shelf sediments of the southeastern Arabian Sea, India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the distribution of environmentally relevant metals and organic matter in the shelf sediments of the southeastern Arabian Sea using biogeochemical proxies for the assessment of environmental quality and trophic status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace metal enrichment and organic matter sources in the surface sediments of Arabian Sea along southwest India (Kerala coast).
TL;DR: Results of geochemical indices indicated that surficial sediments of five transects are uncontaminated with respect to Mn, Zn and Cu, uncontaminate to moderately contaminated with Co and Ni, and moderately to strongly contaminated with Pb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and sources of sedimentary organic matter in Chitrapuzha, a tropical tidal river, southwest coast of India
TL;DR: In this paper, surface sediment samples were collected from five stations along the Chitrapuzha River, during the monsoon, post-monsoon and premonsoon seasons, and analyzed for biochemical composition, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and stable isotopic ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen(δ15N) to identify the major sources of organic matter.
