Novel Combined Toxicity Indices (CTI) to assess the ecological risk of metals in sediments dependent on fractions and total metal content, application on Qarun Lake sediment, case study

Fractions and total contents of 21 heavy metals were evaluated in Qarun Lake sediment, a closed and shallow turbid saline lake. The metal contents in the sediments were in the following order: Fe > Al > Ti > Mn > Sr > Zn > Cr > Pb > Ba > Ni > B > Cu > Li > Co &...
