et al.

Abstract: Heavy metals as environmental pollutants can have natural or anthropogenic origin. To determine the river sediment pollution status, it is crucial to have appropriate reference samples, free of anthropogenic impact, and natural reference samples should be used wherever and whenever possible. The collection of reference samples should be performed in the vicinity of the research area in a place that belongs to the same geological environment and is undisturbed by human activity. The main purpose of this study w… Show more

“…Sediment in streams and rivers has long been known as a major pollutant in terms of adsorbed nutrients [1,2], heavy metals [3][4][5], organic compounds [6], radionucleotides [7], and pathogens [8]. Furthermore, excess sediment in fluvial systems alters channel morphology [9], degrades aquatic habitat [10], fills reservoirs [11], and abrades turbines in hydropower plants [12].…”
