“…Remagnetization of SIRMs (acquired at 1 T) of the surface sediments of core X at a reverse field of 200 mT and coercive fields (B cr ) between 20 and 40 mT indicated the dominant contribution of relatively coarse-grained magnetite to the magnetic assemblage and the low content of antiferromagnetic ones [6]. Similar magnetic properties are reported for industrially-emitted dusts and impacted soils and sediments of the surrounding areas [10,12,13,45]. Underlying sediments corresponding to pre-industrial depositions had similar magnetic mineralogy with the surface ones [6,17].…”

Among the diverse research fields and wide range of studies encompassed by environmental magnetism, the present work elaborates on critical aspects of the geochemistry of trace metals that emerged through years of original research in a variety of environmental compartments. This review aims at sharing the insights gained on (a) tracing metal pollution sources; and (b) identifying processes and transport pathways from sources to depositional environments. Case studies on the Elefsis Gulf (Greece) and the Gulf of Lions (France) demonstrate the potential of combined magnetic measurements and chemical analysis to trace pollution signals resulting from land-based sources and atmospheric deposition. Case studies on estuarine environments, namely the Louros, Acheloos, and Asopos Estuaries (Greece), address modes of trace metal behavior under the influence of different hydrological regimes and elucidate in situ processes within the transitional estuarine zone, that define their ultimate fate. As sources, transport pathways, and processes of trace metals are fundamental in environmental management assessments, the involvement of magnetic measurements in the policy cycle could facilitate the development and implementation of appropriate regulatory measures for the integrated management of river basins, coastal, and marine areas.

“…The PLI values vary from 0 (unpolluted) to higher than 5 (extremely polluted) as follows (Zhang et al 2011): PLI = 0 background concentration; 0 <PLI<1 unpolluted; 1 < PLI<2 moderately to unpolluted; 2 < PLI < 3 moderately polluted; 3 < PLI < 4 moderately to highly polluted; 4 < PLI < 5 highly polluted; PLI > 5 extremely polluted. Several multivariate data analysis techniques have been applied to atmospheric data (Wiedensohler et al 1996;Statheropoulos et al 1998, Astel et al 2008, Viet et al 2010, Baceva et al 2013.…”

(2010 -2014 survey). The geographical distribution maps of the elements over the sampled territory were constructed using GIS technology. The concentrations of Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn were higher than the respective median values of Europe, suggesting that the zones with heavy vehicular traffic and industries emission input are important emitters of these elements. Selected zones are highly polluted particularly by Cd, Pb, Hg and Ni. The statistical analyses revealed that a strong correlation exists between the Pb and Cd content in mosses and the degree of pollution in the studied sites were assessed.

“…Magnetic iii parameters have been widely used in environmental magnetism and some of them have been proven to be good proxies for environmental changes and contamination. Thus, magnetic proxies allow rivers to be assessed for reduced or wide extensions using the bed sediments (e.g., Scholger, 1998;Magiera et al, 2002;Jordanova et al, 2004;Desenfant et al, 2004;Chaparro et al, 2004Chaparro et al, , 2008Chaparro et al, , 2013Knab et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2007;Franke et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2011;Sandeep et al, 2011).…”
