TLDR
The results reflected that the level of heavy metals, especially Hg and Cd, are on rise due to emerging oil exploration, industrial development, and oil refineries along the entire Gulf.About:

Source apportionment of heavy metals in agricultural soil based on PMF: A case study in Hexi Corridor, northwest China
TL;DR: The results showed that the average concentrations of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were lower than the secondary standard of soil environmental quality; however, the concentrations of eight metals were higher than background values, and their corresponding enrichment factor values were significantly greater than 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of coastal groundwater salinization on the distribution and risks of heavy metals
TL;DR: Heavy metals in groundwater from a typical coastal region with intensive anthropogenic activities and saline water intrusion exerted low ecological risks and Fe, Ni, and As were the main contributors for ecological risks.

pH Effect on Heavy Metal Release from a Polluted Sediment
Yanhao Zhang,Yanhao Zhang,Zhang Haohan,Zhibin Zhang,Zhibin Zhang,Chengying Liu,Cuizhen Sun,Wen Zhang,Wen Zhang,Taha F. Marhaba,Taha F. Marhaba +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of Cd, Ni, and Cu release from river sediment at different pH was investigated by a leaching test using deionised water and river water as leachants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal contamination assessment of surface sediments of the Subei Shoal, China: Spatial distribution, source apportionment and ecological risk.
TL;DR: Pollution levels of Cd and Hg were moderate, which should attract more attention as main pollution factors, and could contribute to more effective exploitation of tidal flat resources, and the prevention and treatment of tidal marsh environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical characteristics, partitioning, quantitative source apportionment, and ecological and health risk of heavy metals in sediments and water: A case study in Shadegan Wetland, Iran.
TL;DR: The relatively high values of Kd (partition coefficient) for Pb, Zn, Ni, As, and V revealed their affinity for being enriched in sediments while Sb, Mo, and Se exhibited greater partitioning towards water, which should be of some concern.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Distribution of the Elements in Some Major Units of the Earth's Crust
Karl K. Turekian,K. H. Wedepohl +1 more
TL;DR: A table of abundances of the elements in the various major units of the Earth's lithic crust with a documentation of the sources and a discussion of the choice of units and data is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
