Overview

Case study reveals low to moderate heavy metal contamination at Kolatoli Beach, indicating potential ecological and human health risks.

Key Points

  • The study found low to moderate heavy metal contamination in the sediment of Kolatoli Beach, indicating limited ecological risks.
  • Heavy metal concentrations followed the order of Fe > Mn > Cu > Zn > Pb > Cd, with Cu and Pb showing anthropogenic accumulation.
  • Ecological risks were assessed using indices like the geo-accumulation index, and human health risk evaluations indicated safe limits for adults.
  • Sediment texture analysis revealed predominantly sandy sediments, affecting the mobility and potential risks of heavy metals.
