Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metals in urban soils: a case study from the city of Palermo (Sicily), Italy.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that Pb, Zn, Cu, Sb and Hg can be inferred to be tracers of anthropic pollution, whereas Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, V and Cd were interpreted to be mainly inherited from parent materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in surface sediments of the Naples harbour (southern Italy).
Mario Sprovieri,Maria Luisa Feo,Lidia Prevedello,Daniela Salvagio Manta,Simone Sammartino,S. Tamburrino,Ennio Marsella +6 more
TL;DR: Generally, the concentration of PAHs and PCBs were higher near the sites of intense industrial, shipping and/or commercial activities suggesting a direct influence of these sources on the pollutant distribution patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
African monsoon variability during the previous interglacial maximum
Eelco J. Rohling,T. R. Cane,Steve Cooke,Mario Sprovieri,Ioanna Bouloubassi,Kay-Christian Emeis,Ralf Schiebel,Dick Kroon,Frans Jorissen,A. Lorre,Alan E. S. Kemp +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution evidence from anoxic (unbioturbated) sediments in the eastern Mediterranean Sea that demonstrates a sustained ∼800-yr climate disturbance in the monsoonal latitudes during the Eemian interglacial maximum (∼125 ka BP) was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metals in coastal water systems. A case study from the northwestern Gulf of Thailand.
Paolo Censi,S. E. Spoto,Filippo Saiano,Mario Sprovieri,Salvatore Mazzola,Gerardo Nardone,S. I. Di Geronimo,Rosalda Punturo,D Ottonello +8 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the normalized heavy metals concentrations both in the studied samples and in those reported for the Sn-W ores present in the surrounding areas suggests an important anthropogenic contribution to the chemistry of the seafloor sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing past planktic foraminiferal habitats using stable isotope data: A case history for Mediterranean sapropel S5
Eelco J. Rohling,Mario Sprovieri,T. R. Cane,J.S.L. Casford,S. Cooke,Ioanna Bouloubassi,Kay-Christian Emeis,Ralf Schiebel,Mike Rogerson,Angela Hayes,Frans Jorissen,Dick Kroon +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution stable O and C isotope study is performed on all planktic foraminiferal species that are reasonably continuous through an Eemian sapropel S5 from the western side of the eastern Mediterranean.
