Heavy metal deposition through precipitation in Kazakhstan [PDF]

Heliyon, 2021
The active development of industry, primarily mining and metallurgical, as well as energy, is accompanied by significant emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. We collected data and analyzed the intake of heavy metals (HM) of lead (Pb), copper (Cu)

Potential ecological risk and accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in soils of Macao in China as a non-industrial and tourist City [PDF]

Scientific Reports
With rapid industrialization, the accumulation and contamination of heavy metal(loid)s in soil often has occurred. However, the accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in soil in non-industrial and tourist cities with high population densities is not well ...

Spatial Monitoring of Wind Erosion and Some Heavy Metals in Suspended Load of Tabas City [PDF]

مجله آب و خاک, 2023
Introduction Wind Erosion is the natural process of transportation and deposition of soil by wind. It is a common phenomenon occurred mostly in dry, sandy soils or anywhere the soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated.

Adsorption of heavy metals by road deposited solids [PDF]

Water Science and Technology, 2013
The research study discussed in the paper investigated the adsorption/desorption behaviour of heavy metals commonly deposited on urban road surfaces, namely, Zn, Cu, Cr and Pb, for different particle size ranges of solids. The study outcomes, based on field studies and batch experiments, confirmed that road deposited solids particles contain a ...

Forest humus type governs heavy metal accumulation in specific organic matter fractions [PDF]

, 2020
Soils have the potential to accumulate heavy metals and the capacity to do so is strongly related the properties of each soil. Soil organic matter is a key factor in the retention, release, and bioavailability of heavy metals, and here we have determined

Analysis of heavy metals in road-deposited sediments [PDF]

Analytica Chimica Acta, 2006
Road-deposited sediments were analysed for heavy metal concentrations at three different landuses (residential, industrial, commercial) in Queensland State, Australia. The sediments were collected using a domestic vacuum cleaner which was proven to be highly efficient in collecting sub-micron particles.

Combination of UNMIX, PMF model and Pb-Zn-Cu isotopic compositions for quantitative source apportionment of heavy metals in suburban agricultural soils

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Quantitative identification of heavy metals (HM) sources in soils is key to prevention and control of heavy metal pollution. In this study, UNMIX, PMF (Positive matrix factorization) model and Pb-Zn-Cu isotopic compositions were combined to ...
