Pollution status and ecological risk assessment of metal(loid)s in the sediments of the world's largest mangrove forest: A data synthesis in the Sundarbans

Sazal Kumar et al.

Summary: There is a difference in metal(loid) pollution levels between the Bangladeshi and Indian parts of the Sundarbans, with the Indian counterpart experiencing higher pollution possibly due to its proximity to municipal and industrial areas. This research provides valuable data for informing authorities and can guide future policies to reduce metal(loid) inputs in the Sundarbans.

Mercury fractionation- Problems in method application

Bartlomiej Wilman et al.

Summary: Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that has negative effects on human health and ecosystem. The toxicity of mercury varies depending on its form, which determines its physical and chemical properties. Therefore, understanding the chemical speciation of mercury is crucial for understanding its distribution and behavior in the environment. The thermodesorption method provides new possibilities for analyzing mercury speciation, allowing us to identify which compounds are transformed in different environmental matrices. Despite some technical challenges, this method has significant advantages, especially in controlling heating and cooling temperatures in mercury analyzers.

Pollution and ecological risk assessments for heavy metals in coastal, river, and road-deposited sediments from Apia City in Upolu Island, Samoa

Hyeryeong Jeong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the pollution and ecological risks of heavy metals in coastal, river/stream, and road-deposited sediments from Apia in Samoa for the first time. Chromium and nickel concentrations in sediment samples were found to be higher than other metals. The study revealed that the origins of chromium and nickel were natural, while copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead originated from anthropogenic activities. The findings also showed that coastal sediments adjacent to the river were anthropogenically contaminated and presented a moderate ecological risk.

Recent development of non-chromatographic atomic spectrometry for speciation analysis of mercury

Haiyan Yang et al.

Summary: Understanding the content of inorganic and organic mercury in organisms or the environment requires speciation analysis. Traditional chromatographic methods coupled with atomic spectrometry have been commonly used, but non-chromatographic atomic spectroscopy methods have also been developed as efficient alternatives in recent years. These methods offer advantages such as time saving, cost-effectiveness, and high detection power compared to chromatographic techniques.

Effects of land use on the heavy metal pollution in mangrove sediments: Study on a whole island scale in Hainan, China

Ping Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the concentration and distribution of heavy metals in different mangrove sediments with different land-use patterns along the coast of Hainan island, China. The results showed that different land uses have different effects on heavy metal accumulation in mangrove sediments, and various activities such as mangrove farming and aquaculture ponds contribute to metal pollution.

Occurrence, allocation and geochemical controls for mercury in a typical estuarine ecosystem: Implications for the predictability of mercury species

Lulu Mao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence, spatial distribution, and geochemical control factors of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in different phases in the Yellow River Estuary Area (YREA) and the Laizhou Bay (LB). The findings showed significant variances in the geochemical characteristics of seawater and sediments between the two areas, with the Yellow River contributing significantly to the mercury contamination in the LB. The potential ecological risk should not be ignored, despite not being significant in this study area.

Spatial distribution, contamination assessment and potential ecological risk of some trace metals in the surface sediments of the Gulf of Tunis, North Tunisia

Haifa Ben Mna et al.

Summary: Based on the analysis of sediment samples in the Gulf of Tunis, it was found that Hg has the highest contamination level, while Ni, Pb, Cd, and Cr were not present. However, concentrations of Cr, Pb, and Ni were found to be detrimental to biota in certain areas near the exchange points with the gulf.
