Water Environ Res. 2020 Oct;92(10):1794-1804. doi: 10.1002/wer.1436. Epub 2020 Sep 9.

Abstract

Aquatic sediments are contaminated by different anthropogenic activities and natural deposition. This review manuscript has discussed on published manuscript in 2019 based on monitoring and identification of contaminants, GIS application and isotopic evaluation for monitoring of pollutants, physicochemical and biochemical fate and transport of the pollutants as well as remediation and toxicity analysis so that environmental and ecological impacts due to pollution can be minimized.

Keywords: bioaccumulation; carbon nanotubes; contamination index; ecological risk; industrial effluent; isotope; metabolism; methylmercury; photodegradation; toxicity.
