TLDR
In this paper, a textural normalization technique using specific surface areas in an estuary receiving a chromium-rich effluent allows differentiation of polluted from non-polluted sediments.About:

Assessing sediment contamination in estuaries.
Peter M. Chapman,Feiyue Wang +1 more
TL;DR: There is a clear need to tailor assessment techniques specifically for estuarine environments, for instance, bioavailability models including equilibrium partitioning may have little applicability toEstuarine sediments, appropriate reference comparisons are difficult in biological surveys, and there are too few full-gradient Estuarine sediment toxicity tests available.

Interpretation of metal concentrations in estuarine sediments of Florida using aluminum as a reference element
Steven J. Schropp,F. Graham Lewis,Herbert L. Windom,Joseph D. Ryan,Fred D. Calder,Louis C. Burney +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretive method based on the relationship between sediment metals and aluminum derived from statewide data on natural estuarine sediments in Florida was described. But the method was not applied to the analysis of the Biscayne Bay and the Miami River.

Influence of the Yangtze River and grain size on the spatial variations of heavy metals and organic carbon in the East China Sea continental shelf sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of terrigenous sediments from the Yangtze River on the spatial variations of heavy metals and organic carbon on the East China Sea continental shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical contamination of PAHs, PCBs, DDTs, and heavy metals in Mississippi River Delta, Galveston Bay and Tampa Bay sediment cores
TL;DR: A reconstruction of historical contamination into three coastal sites along the US Gulf Coast indicates that present-day conditions have improved from the more contaminated conditions in the 1950-1970's, before the advent of the Clean Water Act.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normalization of metal concentrations in estuarine sediments from the Gulf of Mexico
TL;DR: In this paper, metal concentrations were examined in sediments from 497 sites within the estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP).

An inexpensive titration method for the determination of organic carbon in recent sediments
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the two sets of data yields a regression line with a slope of 0.992, intercept of 0., and a correlation coefficient of 0,989.

Transport phases of transition metals in the Amazon and Yukon Rivers
TL;DR: In this article, samples representing yearly averages of material transported by the Amazon and Yukon Rivers were analyzed to separate the transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) into the following transport phases: (1) crystalline particles, (2) metal hydroxide coatings, (3) solid organic material, (4) sorbed material, and (5) those in solution.
