Geoenvironment and weathering of silicate minerals in sediments of the Brahmaputra river, India: Implications for heavy metal pollution assessment

We carried out detailed compositional studies on fifteen sediment samples from the Brahmaputra River that were collected in the pre-monsoon period, to obtain the inherent contamination factor. The present study demonstrates that the degrees of metal contamination in the sediments of the Brahmaputra...
