Water pollution is a significant problem stemming from several causes, with the contamination of heavy metal(oid)s being primary concern. This especially concerning because poisonous characteristics these and their effects on aquatic ecosystem. research distinguished by its unique methodology for assessing in surface water Bangladeshi rivers over period sixteen years, 2007 to 2022. work seeks elucidate recent results metal(oid) concentrations, levels, multivariate statistical analyses, source identification using positive matrix factorization models, probabilistic health risks. The findings reveal that concentrations chromium, nickel, arsenic, cadmium, lead exceeded acceptable limits drinking established World Health Organization (WHO) factors 4.64, 2.25, 22.51, 45.60, 10.13, respectively.

The contamination of heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn, Ni, Cd, and Co) in collected water sediment samples from Nuweibaa, Red Sea, proper was studied to evaluate their distribution. concentration decreased the following order: Fe (16.49)> Zn (8.92)> Cu (1.11)> Pb (0.95)> Ni (0.84)> Co (0.34)> Mn (0.22)> Cd (0.19) µg/l, while sediments order follows: (11765.31)> (265.73)> (87.90)> (40.47)> (45.39)> (29.14)> (3.62)> (7.93) µg/L. results showed that metal concentrations exceeded permissible limits earth's crust. However, seawater, are within allowable limits. sediment's carbonate (CaCO3) varies between 9.13 - 75.8 %. partition coefficient values revealed is final fate metals. Igeo very high substantial for (5.84) (2.78), respectively, other ranged (0 1), suggesting uncontaminated mild contamination. enrichment factor (EF) suggested they originated anthropogenic (EF> 2.0), whereas, Fe, may be natural.

In this study, five potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (Hg, Pb, As, Zn, and Cu) physicochemical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, chlorophyll a, chemical oxygen demand) relating to surface seawater were measured along the coast of Guangdong Province (GD), China, during three seasons in 2019. Comprehensive analyses conducted explore distribution characteristics, pollution degrees, influencing PTE. The results showed that concentrations PTE varied spatially seasonally due these elements’ complex sources behaviors. Pb was most abundant element, reaching considerable contamination levels. Overall, average degrees Cu, Zn higher around east GD, while Hg levels west region GD. correlation analysis variation different parameters had influence on transport transformation. This study can help environmental managers gain deeper insight into improve efficiency control significant subtropical coastal area.
