Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of a dam collapse in Brazil on metal and metalloid levels in the Doce River estuary, using advanced spectroscopic and isotopic techniques.
- Results indicate an increase in particulate and dissolved concentrations of hazardous metals like Fe, Pb, Cd, and As, exceeding safety guidelines.
- The findings suggest local communities face potential health risks, particularly from chromium exposure, and highlight changes in metal partitioning due to river-ocean interactions.
