Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the toxicity of freshwater sediments
TL;DR: A variety of sediment toxicity tests have been used in assessing toxicant contamination by measuring the bioavailable fraction of the in-place pollutants as mentioned in this paper, and the optimal assays vary with the study and its objectives.

Dissolved Humus in Soil Waters
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the dissolved organic material (DOM) in the unsaturated zone and the surface aquatic ecosystems is discussed. And the potential ecological function and in situ availability of the DOM are considered so that one can understand and predict its environmental role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical speciation in natural waters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define chemical speciation as the determination of the individual concentrations of the various chemical forms of an element which together make up the total concentration of that element in a sample.

The bioavailability of sediment-sorbed organic chemicals: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical and physical processes that determine the environmental fate of sediment-sorbed organic chemicals are outlined, and their relationship to bioavailability is discussed, and methods currently used to predict the fate of pollutants in the aquatic environment are of limited use for the assessment of sedimentorbed chemical bioavailability because they are based on the compound's behavior in the water column.

Isotope effects accompanying vacuum extraction of soil water for stable isotope analyses
TL;DR: In this paper, the vacuum distillation method of extracting soil water for stable isotope analysis was tested for three different types of soil characterized by high water content: (1) pure sand, (2) cambisol with high organic matter content, developed on calcareous sandstone under temperate climatic conditions (Austria), and (3) tropical latosol poor in organic matter, developing on sandy clay sediment (Brazil).
