Analysis uncovers heavy metal pollution in coastal sediments, indicating the need for monitoring ecosystems.

Heavy metal contamination was assessed in coastal sediments of Vietnam, revealing low average pollution indices.
Average concentrations of heavy metals like Zn and Pb showed moderate contamination in certain areas, indicating pollution risks.
Grain size significantly impacted heavy metal accumulation, highlighting a correlation between sediment characteristics and pollution.
Natural sources accounted for the majority of heavy metals, although anthropogenic inputs necessitate monitoring in vulnerable areas.

Nguyen et al. (2025) studied this question.
