Spatial distribution and ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in surface sediments from a typical plateau lake wetland, China
TLDR
Wang et al. as discussed by the authors collected surface sediment (0-15 cm) samples from 31 different grid points throughout the Yilong Lake in April 2004 to study spatial distribution characteristics based on Kriging method and assess their ecological risks posed by these heavy metals.About:

Assessment of spatial distribution and potential ecological risk of the heavy metals in relation to granulometric contents of Veeranam lake sediments, India.
TL;DR: The present study recommends that the heavy metal levels are unlikely to cause additional adverse health risks to the aquatic ecosystem associated with this lake.

Fei Li,Jinhui Huang,Guangming Zeng,Xingzhong Yuan,Xiaodong Li,Jie Liang,Xiaoyu Wang,Xiao-Jiao Tang,Bing Bai +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper collected surface sediment (0-10 cm) samples from 12 typical sites throughout the Dongting Lake and detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer and atomic fluorescence spectrometry for Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, As, and Hg, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution, ecological risk assessment and source identification for heavy metals in surface sediments from Dongping Lake, Shandong, East China
TL;DR: In this article, surface sediment samples collected from 18 sites in Dongping Lake were analyzed for selected heavy metals including As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn to determine their spatial distribution, source, and potential ecological risks.

Md. Saiful Islam,Md. Saiful Islam,Md. Kawser Ahmed,Md. Habibullah-Al-Mamun,Md. Habibullah-Al-Mamun,Md. Fazlul Hoque +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) in sediment were investigated from eight different sites of Paira River situated at the southern part of Bangladesh and metals were measured by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a sampling method for detecting sedimentation in lakes and showed that it is possible to determine the type of sediment present in a lake and the size of the lake.

Predicting toxicity in marine sediments with numerical sediment quality guidelines
TL;DR: The ERhls and PELs indicated high predictive ability in samples in which many substances exceeded these concentrations, and the incidence of toxicity increased with increases in concentntions of mixtures of chemicals normalized to the SQGs.

TL;DR: The Sado Estuary in Portugal is a good example of a site where human pressures and ecological values collide with each other as mentioned in this paper, and an overall contamination assessment has never been conducted in a way that is comprehensible to estuary managers.
