Sources of mercury contamination in aquatic systems were studied in a comprehensive
literature review. The results show that the most important anthropogenic sources of mercury …

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally-occurring element that is ubiquitous in the aquatic environment.
Though efforts have been made in recent years to decrease Hg emissions, historically …

The challenge of estuarine management is to maintain existing estuarine natural structure
and functioning, to rectify historical damage and negative impacts of human actions which …

Sediment dredging is an effective means to control the endogenous pollution of lakes, which
could significantly change the concentration and composition of organic matter, especially …

Empirical relationships coupled with the field measurements were used to assess water
discharge and sediment load from an anthropogenically-altered drainage basin into …

Chlorinated pesticides and chlorinated organics can be transformed or partially degraded in
sediments under appropriate environmental conditions. Although 1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2-bis [p …

The sediment contamination by trace metals in coastal aquatic ecosystems is a worldwide
environmental problem, since metals can be toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulated. In case …

Dredging activities cause sediment resuspension, which can change the bioavailability of
nutrients such as phosphorus (P) in aquatic ecosystems due to remobilization. This study …

Management of estuarine systems under anthropogenic pressures related to port settlement
and development requires thorough understanding about the long-term sediment dynamics …

The release of phosphorus (P) stored in the sediment may cause long-term delay in the
recovery of lakes, ponds, and lagoons from eutrophication. In this paper, we tested on a …
