“…In the same line, the work performed by Ramírez-Pérez and co-authors [12] investigated the geochemistry, enrichment, and pollution of trace metals in anoxic sediments, pointing to a possible ecotoxicological risk to organisms for Pb, Cu and Zn in superficial sediment layers in the San Simon Bay (Spain), contaminated in the surface mainly due to anthropogenic inputs, especially in the case of Pb, reflecting the enormous human pressure on these ecosystems. Huang and co-authors [13] studied the causes of copper and other common heavy metals input in sediments of irrigation canals in Taiwan province (China). They observed that sediments were polluted mainly due to the highest masses of pollutants released into drainage wastewater of the county and the return flow from irrigation, and the illegal discharge of wastewater.…”
