Metal pollution trajectories and mixture risk assessed by combining dated cores and subsurface sediments along a major E...

In European rivers, research and monitoring programmes have targeted metal pollution from bed and floodplain sediments since the mid-20th century by using various sampling and analysis protocols. We propose to characterise metal contamination trajectories since the 1960s based on the joint use of a large amount of data from dated cores and subsurfa...

Influential factors on microplastics occurrence in river sediments

Rivers are regarded as sinks and pathways of plastic pollutants from terrestrial environments to various other aquatic systems such as lakes and oceans. Although extensive research has been conducted in recent years on microplastic pollution in river sediments, knowledge on the relationships between potential influential factors such as catchment c...

Reconstruction temporelle des contaminations métalliques et organiques particulaires dans le bassin versant de l'Eure et...

L’impact anthropique sur les cours d’eau a significativement augmenté suite à la révolution industrielle engagée par les pays occidentaux. Ainsi, les modifications de la géomorphologie des cours d’eau pour le stockage de l’eau et la navigation, la conversion des surfaces à des fins agricoles, industrielles et d’urbanisation illustrent cette pressio...

Influence of microplastics on nutrients and metal concentrations in river sediments.

Published in Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

Microplastics pose threats to aquatic environments because they serve as hard-substrate for microbial community colonization and biofilm formation due to their long-life span and hydrophobic surface which can impact on aquatic ecosystems. However, the association between microplastics and other pollutants, particularly nutrients and metals in river...

Assessment of heavy metal pollution in Vistula river (Poland) sediments by using magnetic methods

Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research International

The present study evaluated the level of heavy metal (HM) pollution in Vistula river sediments in a highly urbanized Warsaw agglomeration (Poland). Magnetometry was used to assess the pollution level by measuring the fine fractions (0.071 mm and

Abundance, distribution patterns, and identification of microplastics in Brisbane River sediments, Australia.

Published in The Science of the total environment

Plastic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems have received wide attention and research endeavours since early 1970s. However, in comparison to marine environments, the occurrence of microplastics in a tidal river system remains largely unknown, especially in river sediments. Sediment samples taken from twenty-two sampling points along Brisbane River ov...
