Hangxin Cheng,Min Li,Chuandong Zhao,Ke Yang,Kuo Li,Min Peng,Zhongfang Yang,Fei Liu,Ying-Han Liu,Rongjie Bai,Yujun Cui,Zengfang Huang,Lihui Li,Qilin Liao,Jianlan Luo,Shijun Jia,Xugui Pang,Jun Yang,Guosheng Yin +18 more
TL;DR: A systematic geochemical lake sediment survey has been carried out in major freshwater lakes in China as mentioned in this paper, which provides a current ecological risk assessment for toxic metal contamination (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment quality guidelines and assessment: overview and research needs
TL;DR: A number of specific technical approaches for the development of sediment quality guidelines have been proposed, including effects-based correlative approaches, equilibrium partitioning, and consensus using a combination of approaches as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and changes in the trophic structure of polychaete assemblages in sediments of Todos os Santos Bay, Northeastern, Brazil.
TL;DR: Trophic changes could be explained by the level of exposure to PAH effects relative to differences in the life style and feeding strategies between deposit-feeders and carnivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting stress in benthic communities of southeastern U.S. estuaries in relation to chemical contamination of sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework for evaluating risks of benthic impacts from multiple-contaminant exposure from 231 subtidal stations in southeastern U.S. estuaries.

TL;DR: The influence of environmental parameters on the living benthic foraminiferal assemblages was studied and a most sensitive group of species to higher concentrations of heavy metals is identified, a widespread condition in this lagoon.

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.
