TL;DR: The results showed that average As concentration in soil samples is far beyond the limiting values recommended by the European Community (20 ǫ kg−1), and also positive correlation was found between total As content and bioavailable fraction of As in soil sample as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Soil and the dominant plant species in the vicinity of Khatoon Abad copper smelter in Kerman province of Iran are examined to determine contamination, bioavailability, and ecological-health risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs).

TL;DR: Investigation of the intensity of pollution, source characterization, oxidative potential, and human health risks of fourteen potentially toxic elements in the street dust of the Middle East oldest oil refinery zone indicated that industrial activities are responsible for Hg, Cu, and Zn pollution, while exhaust emissions areresponsible for Mo, Pb, Cd, and Sb and natural sources for Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conclude that the hot waters are of meteoric origin and the average temperature of the springs is about 40°C and the waters have appreciable amounts of dissolved solids and hydrogen sulfide.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the prepared CTS-A-MMT composite is a low-cost and effective adsorbent for treating wastewater contaminated with crude oil and heavy metals (i.e., PW).
