Fine-grained sediments contaminated with complex mixtures of organic and inorganic
chemical contaminants can be toxic in laboratory tests and/or cause adverse impacts to …

Passive sampling methods (PSMs) allow the quantification of the freely dissolved
concentration (Cfree) of an organic contaminant even in complex matrices such as …

Heavy metal pollution in sediment resources may pose serious threat to ecosystem and
human health through food web. In this study, surface sediment samples of 10 stations along …

With increasing pressure placed on natural systems by growing human populations, both
scientists and resource managers need a better understanding of the relationships between …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

The surface sediment concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Hg, and As), major
metals (Fe and Mn), and the nutrient concentrations in the interstitial water of Lake Houguan …

1.1 Background Since sediments are the ultimate repository of most of the contaminants that
enter Australia's waterways, it is appropriate that regulatory attention address the ecological …

In this study the level of toxic metals (Mn, Zn, Pb, Cd, Co, Cu) was determined in sediment
samples from the Chenab River, Pakistan. The potential toxicity of studied metals was …

Sediments have a major role in ecosystem functioning but can also act as physical or
chemical stressors. Anthropogenic activities may change the chemical constituency of …

The ability to predict metal toxicity in sediments based on measurements of simple chemical
parameters is not possible using currently available sediment‐quality guidelines (SQGs) …
