Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical assessment of incorporating sediment quality triad data into a single index to distinguish dominant stressors between sites
TL;DR: The regression relationship between the areal index and the Effects Range–Median quotient (ERMq) was used to separate contaminant-impacted sites from sites impacted by hypoxia in Chesapeake Bay and confirmed the utility of the approach.

Ex-ORISKANY Artificial Reef Project: Ecological Risk Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the potential ecological risks from polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure associated with sinking the aircraft carrier ex-ORISKANY (CVA-34, Figure 1) to create an artificial reef off the coast of Pensacola, FL (Figure 2) within the Escambia East Large Area Artificial Reef Site (Figure 3) Sinking the vessel requires a risk-based disposal approval under 40 CFR 76162(c).
MonographDOI
Model of PAH and PCB bioaccumulation in Mya arenaria and application for site assessment in conjunction with sediment quality screening criteria
TL;DR: Thesis (M. Eng. in Ocean Engineering), Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering; and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution), 1999 as discussed by the authors.
Book ChapterDOI
Retention of heavy metals by dredged sediments and their management following land application
Richard J. Haynes,Yang Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: Sediments act as a reservoir for anthropogenic contaminants such as heavy metals which enter the aquatic system both in solution and associated with particulate matter as mentioned in this paper , and much of this material is deposited in land-based storage areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractionation and risk assessment of Fe and Mn in surface sediments from coastal sites of Sonora, Mexico (Gulf of California)
TL;DR: Although the concentrations of Fe and Mn were linked to the residual fraction, the levels in non-residual fractions may significantly result in the transference of other metals, depending on several physico-chemical and biological factors.

Mercury Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
TL;DR: A review of the available literature on the ecological and toxicological aspects of mercury (Hg) in the environment, with special reference to fish and wildlife resources, is reviewed and summarized in this paper.
Book
Selenium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
TL;DR: A review of the environmental and toxicological aspects of selenium in the environment is presented in this paper, including its chemistry, background residues in biological and other materials, and toxic, sub-lethal, and latent effects (including the effects of Se deficiency).
Journal ArticleDOI
Current approaches to developing sediment quality criteria
TL;DR: It is concluded that, for chemical-by-chemical criteria, the equilibrium partitioning method shows promise; for criteria that are also applicable to chemical mixtures, the apparent effects threshold/sediment quality triad approaches appear to be most appropriate.
