Enrichment of sediments in urban rivers by heavy metals

by

Carlos Roberto Juchen et al. View all

Water Quality

The heavy metals contained in sediments may be responsible for constant degradation of rivers’ water quality, which circulate in an urban environment. Therefore, this study shows the pollution index and enrichment factor for each of these elements in river sediments. It was used the optical emission...
