River heavy metal contamination (HM) is a serious growing concern across the globe. In Iran, particularly, rivers serve as the most important freshwater resource and underlie the majority of water-demanding activities, resulting in highly polluted rivers. In central Iran, the Ghareh-Aghaj River supports many industrial, municipal, and agricultural ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

The chemical composition of river sediments reflects bedrock geochemistry in the area of erosion and characterizes trend of weathering in the catchment area. The article presents data about chemical composition of Zeya River sediments. This river is one of the largest watercourses in the Amur River basin. The chemical composition of river sediments...
