Assessment of heavy metals in the sediments of anthropogenically disturbed patalganga estuary, india
Thorat, B.R.; Udayakrishnan, P.B.; Gaud, A.; Ram, A. (EM International, Pune, 2020)The present study aims to evaluate the effect of industrialization on the heavy metal accumulation in sediments of the Patalganga Estuary. The contamination level of the Patalganga estuary is evaluated based on the enrichment ... -
