Distribution of heavy metals in water and sediment of an urban river in a developing country: A probabilistic risk assessment

TL;DR: In this article , surface sediment concentrations of globally alarming toxic metals such as arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) were measured to determine the ecological and human health risks of the riverine ecosystem.

Appraisal of heavy metal contamination in sediments of the Shitalakhya River in Bangladesh using pollution indices, geo-spatial, and multivariate statistical analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to investigate the heavy metal contamination in sediments for assessing the ecological risks of an urban river of Bangladesh using principal component analysis (PCA), Pearson's correlation matrix, geo-accumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (CF), contamination degree (CD), pollution load index (PLI), enrichment factors (EF), and potential ecological risk factor (RI).

Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in sediment and human health risk assessment of heavy metals in fishes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin

TL;DR: Investigation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China found that heavy metals may be mainly derived from metal processing, electroplating industries, industrial wastewater, and domestic sewage, and Hg may also originate from coal combustion.

Health risks of heavy metals to the general public in Tianjin, China via consumption of vegetables and fish.

TL;DR: Consumption of vegetables and fish contaminated with the heavy metals Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg, and Cr is the most likely route for human exposure in Tianjin, China and health risks associated with these heavy metals were assessed.
