Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere

Karen Hammes, +43 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a comprehensive intercomparison of this type (multimethod, multilab, and multisample), focusing mainly on methods used for soil and sediment BC studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in surface and treated waters of Louisiana, USA and Ontario, Canada.

TL;DR: Results of this study demonstrate that existing water treatment technologies can effectively remove certain PPCPs and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals in drinking water and sewage treatment processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources of terrestrially-derived organic carbon in lower Mississippi River and Louisiana shelf sediments: Implications for differential sedimentation and transport at the coastal margin

TL;DR: The authors examined the temporal and spatial variability of terrestrial organic carbon sources in lower Mississippi River and Louisiana shelf sediments (during 11 cruises over a 22-month period) to further understand the sorting dynamics and selective transport of vascular plant materials within the primary dispersal system of the river.
Journal ArticleDOI

A preliminary assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon distributions in the lower Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico

TL;DR: In this paper, water samples were collected in the lower Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico in April 1999; sites in the river were sampled again in November 1999; samples were separated into particulate (CP) and dissolved (CW) phases using 0.7 μm glass fiber filters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Black carbon from the Mississippi River: quantities, sources, and potential implications for the global carbon cycle.

TL;DR: It is calculated that, in 1999, the Mississippi River discharged approximately 5% of the BC buried annually in the ocean, implicating fluvial BC as an important source of anthropogenic BC contamination into the ocean.
