Distribution and ecological risk assessment of some heavy metals in coastal surface sediments along the Red Sea, Egypt
TLDR
In this paper, the ecological risk assessment for Al, Zn, Cu, Ni, V, Pb, Cd, and Hg in surface sediment collected from the Egyptian Red Sea coast was evaluated using the Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), Sediment Enrichment Factor (SEF) and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI) methods.About:

Environmental pollution in Africa
TL;DR: According to as discussed by the authors, the major pollution sources for surface waters are the urban and industrial discharges of untreated effluents into the water, but it is unknown whether these standards are being enforced.

A review of ecological risk assessment and associated health risks with heavy metals in sediment from India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an extensive survey to understand the current situation and propose possible remedial measures to mitigate heavy metal pollution in sediment, which is a serious concern particularly in developing nations.

The distribution, contamination and risk assessment of heavy metals in sediment and shellfish from the Red Sea coast, Egypt
TL;DR: Based on the human organizations (EPA, BOE, MAFF, and NHMRC), the studied shellfish were somewhat safe for human consumption and the sediments along the Egyptian Red Sea area did not pose any adverse impacts on the biological life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution, bioavailability and probabilistic integrated ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in sediments from Honghu Lake, China
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic integrated ecological risk assessment method (PIERA) was formulated based on the potential ecological risk index (PER), Simple Bioavailability Extraction Test (SBET) and triangular fuzzy numbers for synthetically assessing metal enrichment, ecotoxicity and bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of adjacent land use on coastal wetland sediments.
TL;DR: It is shown that the wetland fringes of the two study sites are not distinguishable, neither in their macronutrient status nor in their concentrations of heavy metals, whereas the interior zones exhibit large differences in terms of heavy metal concentrations, which suggests that seaside influences are minor compared to influences from land.

An ecological risk index for aquatic pollution control.a sedimentological approach
TL;DR: In this article, a sedimentological risk index for toxic substances in limnic systems should at least, account for the following four requirements: the following: the quality of the sediment, the water quality, the sediment quality, and the sediment diversity.

Incidence of adverse biological effects within ranges of chemical concentrations in marine and estuarine sediments
TL;DR: In this article, matching biological and chemical data were compiled from numerous modeling, laboratory, and field studies performed in marine and estuarine sediments, and two guideline values (an effects range low and an effects range median) were determined for nine trace metals, total PCBs, two pesticides, 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and three classes of PAHs.

Jean-Marie Martin,Michel Meybeck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an estimate of average river particulate matter (RPM) composition was based on analyses of more than 40 elements in the Amazon, Congo, Ganges, Magdalena, Mekong, Parana and Orinoco rivers, covering the whole spectrum of morphoclimatic features.
