Contamination features and health risk of soil heavy metals in China
TL;DR: The results showed that, due to the drastically increased industrial operations and fast urban expansion, Chinese soils were contaminated by heavy metals in varying degrees and children and adult females were the relatively vulnerable populations for the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary assessment of heavy metals in water and sediment of Karnaphuli River, Bangladesh
TL;DR: In this paper, four heavy metals such as arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in sediments and water were investigated from Karnaphuli River in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on seasonal pollution of heavy metals in water, sediment, fish and oyster from the Meiliang Bay of Taihu Lake in China
TL;DR: Comparative studies with seasonal pollution of heavy metals in Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu regions indicate considerable heavy metal enrichment in water, sediments as well as in various organs of fish and oyster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of metals pollution and health risk in dust from nursery schools in Xi'an, China.
TL;DR: The results indicate no distinct pollution of Mn, Ni, As and Ba in the dust, while Cu, Co and Zn are moderate pollution, Pb is significant pollution, and Cr with large pollution range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source identification and ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in topsoil using environmental geochemical mapping: Typical urban renewal area in Beijing, China
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted an environmental geochemical mapping with high-density soil sampling to determine the spatial distribution, possible sources and potential ecological risk of heavy metals at a former chemical industry area in Beijing.

Hysteresis properties of titanomagnetites: Grain-size and compositional dependence
TL;DR: In this article, the grain-size dependence of parameters with coercive force as high as 2,000 Oe in x = 0.6 titanomagnetite was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Problems in the assessment of heavy-metal levels in estuaries and the formation of a pollution index
TL;DR: The concept of a baseline is fundamental to the formation of a Biological Quality Index and Pollution Load Index, and a formula for such an index is suggested and tested at a preliminary level against published data for an English and a European estuary as discussed by the authors.

Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers
David J. Dunlop,Özden Özdemir +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basic magnetism in nature has been studied and the fundamental properties of magnetism have been discussed. But the authors focus on the magnetism of metamorphic and igneous rocks rather than extraterrestrial magnetism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and application of the Day plot (Mrs/Ms versus Hcr/Hc) 1. Theoretical curves and tests using titanomagnetite data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the theory of the day plot parameters for MD, MD + SD, PSD, and SP + SD grains of titanomagnetite (Fe 3 × xTixO4) with compositions x = 0 (TM0 or magnetite) and x =0.6 (TM60).
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination assessment of copper, lead, zinc, manganese and nickel in street dust of Baoji, NW China.
TL;DR: The results indicate that, in comparison with Chinese soil, street dusts in Baoji have elevated metal concentrations as a whole and IPI indicates heavy metals of street dust polluted seriously.
