Abstract:Heavy metals contamination is vitally crucial issue for human health and natural ecosystems worldwide. The sediments are extremely responsible for accumulation, transfer, and the fate of them into the receiving ecosystems. In this research, the heavy metals pollution status of surface sediments, possible pollution source as well as the correlation between heavy metals with total organic carbons (TOC%) and particle size distribution were evaluated. In this sense, 30 surface sediment samples of three urban chann… Show more
