TLDR
The application of flameless atomic absorption analysis to the determination of cadmium, copper, and lead in sewage sludges is described, which is sensitive and very rapid, since the normal lengthy sample pre-treatment has been virtually eliminated.About:

Aline da Silva Oliveira,Ana Bocio,Tânia Maria Beltramini Trevilato,Angela Maria Magosso Takayanagui,José L. Domingo,Susana Inés Segura-Muñoz +5 more
TL;DR: Metal values recorded for treated wastewater and sludge were within the maximum permitted levels established by the Environmental Sanitation Company (CETESB), São Paulo, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
The balance of heavy metals through a sewage treatment works I. Lead, cadmium and copper
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration of lead, cadmium and copper in the sewage sludges, sewages and effluent of a sewage treatment works was determined by analysis of composite samples corresponding to a 24-h input of raw sewage to the works.
Journal ArticleDOI
The balance of heavy metals through a sewage treatment works II. Chromium, nickel and zinc
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of chromium, nickel and zinc in the sewage sludges, sewages and effluent of a sewage-treatment works was determined by analysis of composite samples corresponding to a 24-h input of raw sewage to the works.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the factors which influence metal removal in the activated sludge process
S. Stoveland,John N. Lester +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the influence of the influent metal concentration and of the effluent suspended solids concentration on metal absorption in the activated sludge process has been examined.

Correlation and toxicological inference of trace elements in tissues from stranded and free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Hui-Chen W. Stavros,Megan Stolen,Wendy Noke Durden,Wayne E. McFee,Gregory D. Bossart,Patricia A. Fair +5 more
TL;DR: The present study provides the first application of trace element concentrations derived from stranded bottlenose dolphins to predict liver concentrations in free-ranging populations and indicates that skin may be useful in predicting Hg concentrations in liver tissue offree-ranging dolphins.

Trace elements in sewage sludges.
Michael L. Berrow,J. Webber +1 more
TL;DR: Zinc, Cu and Ni appear to be the elements most likely to give rise to toxicity problems in plants due to the use of sewage sludge as a soil additive.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficiency of heavy metal removal by a conventional activated sludge treatment plant
TL;DR: In this paper, the total and dissolved concentration of cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel and zinc at various points in a conventional activated sludge treatment plant have been measured.

Phytotoxicity and Uptake of Metals Added to Soils as Inorganic Salts or in Sewage Sludge
TL;DR: In this article, the results of inorganic salt treatments to evaluate phytotoxity and toxic metal uptake from sewage sludge amended soils were compared with the results obtained when a sludge was amended with these metals before addition to the soil.
