Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation of a water quality guideline for aluminium in marine waters
Lisa A. Golding,Brad M. Angel,Graeme E. Batley,Simon C. Apte,Rick Krassoi,Christopher J. Doyle +5 more
TL;DR: Aluminium toxicity to 3 most sensitive species was the result of the dissolved aluminium forms of aluminate and aluminium hydroxide although both dissolved, and particulate aluminium contributed to toxicity in the diatom Minutocellus polymorphus and green alga Dunaliella tertiolecta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Methylmercury in Natural Water Samples by Steam Distillation and Gas Chromatography−Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry
Karl C. Bowles,Simon C. Apte +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, steam distillation was evaluated as a technique for the separation of methylmercury from natural water samples prior to quantification by GC−atomic fluorescence spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of copper complexation in the severn estuary using differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a single ligand model of complexation and found that more than 99% of dissolved copper was organically complexed, with calculated pCu2+ values ranging from 11.12 to 12.84.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rapid Chelex column method for the determination of metal speciation in natural waters
TL;DR: In this article, a simple, rapid Chelex resin column method has been developed for the determination of metal speciation in natural water samples, where a water sample (pH 6-8.2) was pumped through a small plug of the Ca-form of Chelex 100 at a flow rate of 48 ± 4mL/min.
Journal ArticleDOI
A risk assessment approach to contaminants in Port Curtis, Queensland, Australia
Mary-Anne. Jones,Jenny L. Stauber,Simon C. Apte,Stuart L. Simpson,Victoria A. Vicente-Beckett,Randall S. Johnson,L. J. Duivenvoorden +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of contaminants of potential concern to biota and human health in the Port Curtis estuary found arsenic, nickel and chromium concentrations exceeded interim sediment quality guidelines-low (ISQG-low), but were also high in the reference zone suggesting a natural origin.
