    Mobility and risk assessment of heavy metals in benthic sediments using contamination factors, positive matrix factorisation (PMF) receptor model, and human health risk assessment

    Metal pollution in benthic sediments was fractionated and modelled to quantify the risk of anthropogenic activities on river ecosystems. In this study, the individual contamination factor (ICF) and the global ...
