Heavy metals in Yinma River sediment in a major Phaeozems zone, Northeast China: Distribution, chemical fraction, contamination assessment and source apportionment
Abstract Yinma River is a typical river in the major Phaeozems zone of Northeast China. It has been suffering an increasing environmental pressure from heavy metal contamination due to the rapid development of population, social-economy and urbanization as well as long term over cultivation.
