Due to climate change and pollution, potable water sources are declining, and potential water sources, especially those near major settlements, are becoming crucial. Monitoring of pollution levels and identifying sources are vital for sustainable water management. Sediment quality in water resources, indicating pollutants and their origins like heavy metals, is essential for environmental and human health. This study analyzed heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn and Sc) in coastal sediment samples from the Goksu and Canakdere rivers, potential water sources for Istanbul and ecological risk parameters such as geo-accumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (PERI) were utilized to determine sediment quality. Sediment samples were taken from 6 different points along each river in two periods representing the dry and wet seasons, resulting in a total of 24 samples. Metal analyses were performed using the Laser Ablation ICP-MS. Also, statistical analyses such as the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Principal Component Analysis were employed to attempt to determine the origin of pollutants. According to the results of Igeo, EF, PLI, and PERI, it can be concluded that pollution is more pronounced, especially in areas with agricultural activities. In the wet season, pollutants carried by surface runoff were found to accumulate in the sediment, leading to significant pollution levels at some points. Additionally, according to the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Principal Component Analyses, it can be inferred that Cd, Pb, and Zn likely originate from similar sources.

Globally, soil contamination threatens ecosystems and food security. This study examines the contamination of soils intended for agri-food initiatives by Indigenous communities across New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, and Newfoundland and subarctic Ontario, Canada. Soils from 47 sites were tested for metals, metalloids, organochlorine (OC) pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to assess ecological risks and compare against national guidelines. Australian soils were primarily contaminated with lead (Pb) and to a lesser extent with other metals and metalloids, whereas subarctic Ontario soils were heavily contaminated with OC pesticides, and to a lesser extent metals and metalloids. Newfoundland soils contained arsenic (As) concentrations exceeding agricultural soil guidelines with limited OC levels. The contaminants from these sites stem from both anthropogenic activities and natural geological sources; however, their precise origins-whether from the historical use of banned substances or mineral extraction-are not fully elucidated for all sites. This article specifically highlights the need to assess soil to be used in agri-food initiatives for contaminants in rural and remote landscapes in Indigenous homelands worldwide and, in general, for all soil to be used in any agri-food initiative.
