TLDR
In this paper, the combined data on trace metal concentrations in bottom sediments, particulate matter and in solution within and outside the estuary suggest that the Rhine estuary acts as a sink for particulate trace metals.About:

Metal pollution in the aquatic environment
TL;DR: This significant book provides not only an introduction to the dynamics of aquatic chem istries but also identifies those materials that jeopardize the resources of both the marine and fluvial domains.

Sequential extraction techniques: Promises and problems
J.M. Martin,P Nirel,A.J Thomas +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the different problems involved with sequential extraction techniques and specify the nature of their operation, showing that the specificity and the reproducibility of the method greatly depend upon the chemical properties of the element and the chemical composition of the samples.

Organochlorine and heavy metal residues in harbour seals from the wadden sea and their possible effects on reproduction
TL;DR: The conclusion is drawn that the observed decrease in the reproductive success of the Dutch seal population correlates strongly with the high concentrations of PCB's in the tissues.

Eelgrass condition and turbidity in the Dutch Wadden Sea
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that both the lack of recovery of the sublittoral beds, and the disappearance of the littoral population, may have been effected, to a large extent, by changes in turbidity.

Lead cycling in estuaries, illustrated by the Gironde estuary, France
TL;DR: In the Gironde (France) as mentioned in this paper, the mixing of polluted particles with old deposits probably has a minor role in the decrease in paniculate lead. But it is not known whether this is the case in the lower Gironde estuary. And it is possible that in this lower estuary, lead-depleted particles are recycled to the tidal estuary by landward currents, where they become mixed with fresh river-borne particles.

Chemistry of Pacific pelagic sediments
TL;DR: The chemical and mineralogical composition of pelagic sediments from the East Pacific Ocean has been determined with the aim of defining the ultimate sources and the mechanisms of formation of the solid phases.

The elemental composition of plankton
John H. Martin,George A. Knauer +1 more
TL;DR: The results of these analyses were categorized on a chemical basis and the sample data were placed in three groups: Group I, Ti not detected; Group II, Ti detected; and Group III, Sr concentrators present as discussed by the authors.

Factors controlling the concentrations of thirteen rare metals in sea-water
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of thirteen metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Bi, Cd, Ni, Co, Hg, Ag, Cr, Mo, W, V) in sea-water were studied.

Mechanisms of trace metal transport in rivers.
TL;DR: The distribution for both rivers is similarly proportioned, with copper and chromium transported mainly in the crystalline solids, manganese in coatings, and iron, nickel, and cobalt distributed equally between precipitated metallic coatings and crystallinesolids.
