“…The observations of Santos et al (2012), as shown in Table 1, report that the waters of rivers, lakes and seas can be polluted directly by the discharge of industrial or domestic effluents, as well as in the work of Botle et al (2023), who, when assessing the levels of heavy metals in surface water of Indian rivers from 1991 to 2021, confirmed that the levels of Fe, Cr, Pb, Ni, Cd, Mn, Hg, Co exceeded by far the permitted limits established by the World Health Organization and the Bureau of Indian Standards, indicating a high risk of cancer development in adults and children via ingestion for Cr, Pb, Ni, Cd and As, results also reinforced by Alaboudi et al (2018).…”

Objective: The aim was to carry out a systematic literature review on studies and research into heavy metals (traces) in rivers in the Amazon region of Pará. Theoretical Framework: To have a chronological understanding of the situation of possible contamination by trace metals, affecting the quality of water in the Amazon, impacting ecosystems and public health. Industrial, agricultural and urban development has had a negative impact on rivers in Pará, contributing to the degradation of water resources. Method: This is a review, with a descriptive, qualitative and quantitative approach, using literature searches (descriptors) of research carried out in the state of Pará, published between 2005 and 2023. Articles with solid evidence were considered, in accordance with the parameters recommended by resolutions 274/2000 and 357/2005 and ordinance 888/2021 of the National Environment Council - CONAMA, expressing the results through descriptive statistics. Results and Discussion: It was possible to demonstrate the main environmental impacts of pollutant and contaminant sources in rivers in the Amazon region of Pará, such as high concentrations of Pb, Cu, As, Cd, Cr and Hg, especially Pb and Hg, which were present in 60% of the studies carried out in different aquatic environments over the last 20 years in the state of Pará. Research Implications: It helps to visualize the little research carried out in the Pará Amazon, as well as providing a better understanding of land use in the region, correlating it with the contamination of surface water by heavy metals. Originality/Value: It is of socio-environmental and scientific importance, as it provides a better understanding of the level of contamination and frequency of heavy metals in the surface waters of the state of Pará.

“…Many studies have been conducted on ecosystem health assessment in China and abroad, including the sustainable development of certain regions [5][6][7][8] and wetland ecological protection [9,10], which can provide a reference for the health and development of wetland ecosystems. Ecological health assessments have been discussed from several different perspectives, but mainly as they apply to cities [11][12][13], lands [14,15], rivers [16,17], and wetlands [18][19][20]. The analysis process has primarily focused on soil [21] and groundwater [22,23], other elements, and so on [24,25].…”

Drawing heavily upon the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an SDG–pressure–state–response (PSR)–ecological–economic–social (EES) model and an index system for wetland ecosystem health assessment were constructed from the three dimensions of environment, economy, and society. By using the Yinchuan Plain urban wetlands in the Yellow River Basin of China as a case study, their ecological health status from 2000 to 2020 was systematically evaluated by integrating information from remote sensing technology, geographic information technology, field sampling, information entropy (IE), a landscape index, and a Comprehensive Evaluation Index. The results show that the restoration and protection of wetland ecosystems have achieved remarkable results in the Yinchuan Plain. The wetland ecological health index has significantly increased from 0.26 to 0.67, which is an increase of 157.7%, and the health level increased from poor (II) to sub-healthy (IV). Factors restricting the healthy development of wetland ecology in the Yinchuan Plain include wetland construction, investment, population density, the number of tourists, and fertilizer use. The research results show that the wetland restoration and protection have achieved specific environmental, economic, and social results in the Yinchuan Plain. However, we also need to pay attention to increasing the investment in wetland environmental governance, strictly controlling the intensity of land use and the total amount of chemical fertilizer applied in various regions, scientifically carrying out wetland restoration and protection, reasonably coordinating the relationship between environment and society, and providing technical and decision-making support for wetland management and protection. This study provides a reference for the ecological governance and sustainable development of wetlands in large river basins worldwide.
