Journal ArticleDOI
The behaviour of dissolved arsenic in the estuary of the River Beaulieu
TL;DR: The chemical forms and distribution of dissolved arsenic species in the estuary of the River Beaulieu (Hampshire, U.K.) are reported in this article, with laboratory mixing experiments indicating that removal is favored in the low salinity region.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of the Effect of Trace Metals on Freshwater Cyanobacterial Growth and Toxin Production
TL;DR: Iron dominated the literature and regularly influenced bloom formation, with 15 of 18 studies indicating limitation or colimitation of cyanobacterial growth, and a range of other trace metals were found to have a demonstrated capacity to limit cyanob bacterial growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant and algal interference in bacterial beta-D-galactosidase and beta-D-glucuronidase assays.
TL;DR: It was concluded that several plant extracts and algae could significantly interfere with the detection of coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli with the use of rapid assays, on the basis of their production of beta-D-galactosidase and beta- D-glucuronidase, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hardness corrections for copper are inappropriate for protecting sensitive freshwater biota

TL;DR: Toxicity testing using a freshwater alga, a bacterium and a cladoceran exposed to copper in synthetic and natural freshwaters of varying hardness demonstrated negligible hardness effects, suggesting that the algorithm used for assessing the toxicity of copper to these, and other, sensitive freshwater species, is not recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanism of nanoparticulate CeO2 toxicity to freshwater algae.
TL;DR: Results suggest that DOC in natural waters will coat CeO2 particles and mitigate toxicity to algal cells, and suggest that ROS generation was not the toxic mechanism.
