TL;DR: The general conclusion is that Hg contamination in Wanshan is geographically more widespread, due to deposition and scavenging of Hg from contaminated air and deposition on land, and the population mostly at risk is located in the vicinity of smelting facilities, mining activities and close to the waste disposal sites in the wider area of Wansan.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used principal components analysis (PCA) and end-member mixing analysis (EMMA) to estimate mixing proportions among three sources: (1) allogenic river recharge, (2) autogenic recharge and (3) an anthropogenic component stored within the epikarst.

TL;DR: Stable isotope analyses of carbonate and total organic carbon (TOC; δ13Corg) together with geochemical analyses of 54 major, minor, and trace elements and magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out on whole rock samples of the undisturbed Permian-Triassic (P/Tr) limestone boundary sequence in the Idrijca Valley (W. Slovenia) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, three types of recent carbonate precipitates from the River Krka, Croatia, were analyzed: (1) bulk tufa from four main cascades in a 34 km long section of the river flow through the Krka National Park, (2) a laminar stromatolite-like incrustation formed in the tunnel of a hydroelectric power plant close to the lowest cascade, and (3) recent precipitates collected on artificial substrates during winter, spring and summer periods.

TL;DR: In this article, diffusional equilibrium in thin films (DET) and diffusional gradients in thin film (DGT) were used to obtain high resolution pore water profiles of total dissolved and labile trace (mobilizable) metals in the sediments of the Rupel River, Belgium.
