Investigating toxicity of urban road deposited sediments using Chinese hamster ovary cells and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa

Pollution and ecological risk assessments for heavy metals in coastal, river, and road-deposited sediments from Apia City in Upolu Island, Samoa

“…Many studies have found that the heavy metal concentration in RDS increases with decreasing particle size (Jeong and Ra, 2022a;Logiewa et al, 2020). Guo et al (2020) performed a toxicity test of the heavy metals in road dust using two different living organisms. They reported that heavy metals such as Zn, Ni, and Cu attached to RDS had a toxic effect on algae, and proposed that mammalian cell-based and algal-based toxicities are related to human health and ecological risks, respectively.…”

Risk assessment of runoff sediments in an experimental catchment in Bogotá related to hydrological and granulometric characteristics

“…On the other hand, it is crucial to assess the influence of environmental factors such as the ADP, the rainfall characteristics (i.e. intensity and duration), anthropogenic factors such as land use, runoff contact surface, the PSD and the surface loads of HM in urban watersheds on the toxicity of the sediments (Guo et al, 2020;Zhan et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2017) in (Deletic & Orr, 2005;McKenzie et al, 2008;Pimiento et al, 2018).…”
