The investigation focused on toxic elements across various environmental and food matrices, including water, sediments, plants, and fish, to provide a holistic assessment of contamination levels along the Mahdia coastline. Elemental analyses, performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, revealed significant contamination in the region. Particularly high concentrations of barium (369.90 ± 223.23 mg/kg) and manganese (81.42 ± 40.01 mg/kg) were detected at the Rejiche coastal site. Additionally, the coastal site of La Chebba exhibited elevated titanium levels, averaging 41.40 ± 14.86 mg/kg, which were significantly higher than those at other studied sites. The biological matrices analyzed showed that <i>Posidonia oceanica</i> leaves and the tissues of fish species such as <i>Sparus aurata</i> and <i>Sarpa salpa</i> were the most contaminated. These findings indicate that these species could serve as reliable bioindicators for monitoring marine contamination. In conclusion, the significant levels of toxic trace elements detected along the Mahdia coast underscore the pressing need for targeted interventions to mitigate environmental pollution.

Moreover, MPs significantly changed the aromaticity, biological, and humification index of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil, and particle size and concentration are regarded control factors. MPs significantly increased mineralization rate, and smaller-sized MPs showed a more significant promotion on SOC mineralization. PLS-SEM analysis demonstrated significant associations among MPs concentration, PAD, DOC, POC, and mineralization rate.

This research aimed to develop a remediation technology applicable to a permafrost environment. Two remediation methods were evaluated: in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using persulfate (PS) and calcium peroxide (CP), and surfactant-assisted in-situ chemical oxidation (S-ISCO), which combines the oxidants with a surfactant mixture. The inclusion of surfactant in the oxidant solution led to a consistent and steady decomposition of PS, a gradual and a progressive non-exothermic oxidation reaction, and enhanced the diesel transfer from soil to the aqueous phase. However, it can react with the oxidant, reducing the likelihood of the oxidant-diesel reaction. The evaluation of diesel concentration indicated that the surfactant presence could enhance the total diesel removal efficiency (in comparison to oxidant alone), although excessive surfactant reduced the oxidant’s effectiveness. A challenge in activation of PS by CP was generation of cement-like byproducts of CP hydration that could potentially restrict the diesel-oxidant interaction. However, insoluble byproducts elimination (by filtration), and solution adjustments (pH, PS, and CP concentration) proceeded with ˃ 99% and 90.8% diesel removal (initial concentration of 5000 mg/kg) after 8 weeks of ISCO and S-ISCO at ambient temperature.

The motivation for this research arises from the potential health risks and ecological impacts associated with PAH accumulation, prompting an urgent need for effective pollution management strategies. This study aims to assess the levels, distribution, and sources of PAHs in the coastal sediment of three districts in Bangladesh using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and multivariate receptor models. Sixteen priority PAHs were analyzed, revealing a predominance of three to five ring structures. Source apportionment using Principal Component Analysis with Multiple Linear Regression (PCA-MLR), Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), and the Unmix model identified coal combustion, traffic emissions, and biomass/wood burning as the primary contributors.

After assessing the current state of eutrophication in the Ekbatan Dam, eleven scenarios were analyzed, including reductions in inflow, outflow, and input pollutants. The results indicate that phosphate reduction under scenarios 9, 10, and 11 is minimal, while the highest phosphorus levels occur in scenario 8, where the inflow rate is reduced by 45%. Additionally, the findings suggest that eutrophication risks remain high from autumn to late February, with elevated phosphate concentrations observed. A 15% reduction in phosphorus input (scenario 9) leads to a notable decrease in phosphate levels compared to the current state of the reservoir. The lowest nitrate levels are observed in scenarios with reduced inflows and pollutant inputs, whereas the highest nitrate concentrations are associated with scenario 8.

To assess the environmental impact of these activities, a mineralogical and geochemical study was conducted on soils and sedimentary deposits exposed along the Gulf of Baratti’s sea cliff. These deposits span from the Late Pleistocene to recent soils and include detrital slags deposits.
