Regional models for sediment toxicity assessment
L. Jay Field,Susan B. Norton +1 more
TL;DR: Calibrating nationwide models to a regional data set may be both a more efficient and effective approach for improving model performance than developing region-specific models.

Metals content in sediments of ephemeral streams with small reservoirs (the Negev Desert)
TL;DR: In this article, the content of 19 metals (chromium, cobalt, nickel, strontium, arsenic, magnesium, barium, cesium, gallium, rubidium, uranium, vanadium, zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, iron, manganese, and aluminum) in sediment in three ephemeral streams (Nahal Sansana, Nahal Revivim and Nahal Pura) with reservoirs in the Negev Desert is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using toxicity data to evaluate ecological effects at Superfund sites
TL;DR: Ecological assessments for several Superfund sites provide examples of how toxicity data and bioassay data have been used to understand the ecological effects of soil, surface water, and sediment contamination.

Horizontal Distributions and Their Ecotoxicological Implications Relating to PCBs, DDTs, HCHs, and HCB in Sediments in the West Nakdong River
TL;DR: In this article, the horizontal distribution and their ecotoxicological implications relating to organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in surface sediments sampled from the West Nakdong River.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of measures of ambient toxicity and fish community diversity in a Chesapeake Bay Tributary, Maryland, USA: A biological, chemical, and geological assessment
TL;DR: A battery of water column and sediment toxicity bioassays measuring lethal and sub-lethal endpoints were employed with fish, invertebrates, vascular plants, and bacteria as mentioned in this paper.

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.
