“…PC1 was primarily influenced by an anthropogenic influence from industrial processes, surface overflow, and disposal of waste materials, while PC2, in the main influenced by the natural earth science background. Nour [53] also reported similar findings for principal component factors at the southern coast of the Sinai Peninsula on the Gulf of Aqaba and revealed that heavy metals such as cadmium, iron, lead, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and nickel might be resulting from human-induced activities. Zhou et al [54] specified that heavy metals are naturally present in sediment posture minerals of oceanic geological deposits besides anthropogenic amelioration.…”

Mangrove forests are in severe threat from heavy metals pollution stimulated by the several human activities connected with hasty industrialization and urbanization. Heavy metals contamination of mangrove ecosystems has caused serious concern worldwide. The objective of the present research is to identify the heavy metal pollution in the mangrove forest sediments of the Gulf of Khambhat, Gujarat, India. The samples were collected from the 12 selected sites of the GoK and investigated for Pb, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, As, Co, Mn, Zn, and Hg using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The abundance of heavy metals concentration in the sediment were found in the decreasing order of Mn > Zn > Cr > Ni > Cu

“…The potential sources of contaminants are tourist activities, boat painting, plastic wastes, and gasoline combustion. Moreover, waste-water might be one of the most significant causes of various metals like cadmium, lead, and cobalt [53].…”

“…The concentration of Pb from the highest to the lowest, respectively, was in the types of land use of shrimp pond, settlement, airport, bare land, harbor, agricultural land, mining area, tourist attraction, and mangrove ecosystem. Pb in the marine environment has been found to come from sources like new construction land and urban land, automobile exhaust, mining, coal burning, metal smelting, paint (Hu et al 2020), anthropogenic sources as repainting of boats, boat navigation, the supply of fuel and tourist activities (Nour, 2019), and ascribed to the influx of river water including effluents from a range of industrial plants strewn over the riverside (Lü et al 2015). Shrimp pond is not a source of heavy metal pollution, but the heavy metal content in seawater will contaminate shrimp pond.…”

Due to anthropogenic influences that can cause heavy metal pollution in the aquatic environment, it is essential to know the amounts of heavy metals in coastal seawater to assess the potential damage of the ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to assess heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) in seawater in the coastal areas around Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. This study will be useful for the assessment and monitoring of marine pollution around the study area. A total of 9 water samples were collected in the close of nine types of coastal land use, namely mangrove ecosystem, tourist attraction, airport, harbor, mining area, bare land, shrimp pond, agricultural land, and settlement around Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province in June 2021. The concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn were not detected, concentrations were below the limit of detection. The Pb concentrations at all sampling locations did not comply with seawater quality standards for ports, marine tourism, or marine biota based on the Ministry of Environment Decree No. 51, the year 2004 regulation. The source of Pb in the study area was estimated from anthropogenic and natural sources. The anthropogenic sources were corrosion of junk metal items, automobile traffic, resuspension of lead-contaminated soil dust, boat navigation, painting of boats, a coking coal transport service, fishing port, the supply of fuel, fertilizer, fuel for mining equipment, and transportation of mining activities. While the natural sources were the concentration of Pb contained in iron sand (a part of Quarterly Alluvium) eroded due to waves and wind then mixed in seawater.

“…For example, the abandoned Kettara mine, in Morocco, is the primarily responsible for soil contamination by metals [49]; In Vietnam, the enrichment of Cd, Pb and Cu in rice paddy soils was seriously affected by the open pit coal extraction activities. This is mainly due to the mobility of PTEs in the soil is greatly improved by mining and ore processing [50,51]; In addition, the human impacts such as tourist activities, boat navigation, and car fuel combustion products, were contributed to the accumulation of PTEs in beach sediments of Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt [52]. This means that the impact of human activities is a major factor in the source of PTEs.…”

This study investigated the concentrations and spatial distributions, ecological risks, and potential pollution sources of potential toxic elements (PTEs) in the soils and sediments collected from the Guishui River (GSR) in Beijing, China. Multiple methods for pollution assessment and source identification of PTEs in the sediments/soils were used, including analysis of the physicochemical properties, Geo-accumulation index (Igeo), potential ecological risk index (RI), Pearson correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and Pb isotopic ratio analysis. The results showed that PTE concentrations in the sediments/soils were similar to the soil background values (BV) of Beijing, except for Cd. Maximum Cd concentrations in soils were far below the guideline of the Environmental Quality Standard for Soils in China. PTE concentrations in the soils were slightly higher than those in the sediments. Upstream to downstream of GSR, PTEs concentrations in the soils and sediments remained stable. Pollution assessment based on Igeo and RI indicated that Cd was the main contaminant with moderate pollution levels. PCA results showed that Cd originated from anthropogenic sources, mainly including pesticide and fertilizer residues, while other metals mainly originated from natural sources. Further source identification using Pb isotopic ratios and PCA indicated that Cu, Pb, and Zn in GSR originated from anthropogenic sources (aerosols and coal combustion) and atmospheric deposition was considered as the primary input pathway.
