Dissertation

A method to assess the ecological integrity of urban watersheds that integrates chemical, physical and biological data

TL;DR: An integrated method was developed to assess the ecological integrity of an urban watershed, and to evaluate the cumulative impacts of physical habitat degradation and metal-contaminated habitats upon its fish and macroinvertebrates as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of arsenic background concentration in stream sediments in Zia-Abad area (NW Iran)

TL;DR: It can be concluded that arsenic contents of sediments in the area are more than probable effect concentrations and potentially can have environmental impacts.
ReportDOI

Water-quality assessment of the Albermarle-Pamlico drainage basin, North Carolina and Virginia; a summary of selected trace element, nutrient, and pesticide data for bed sediments, 1969-90

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of homonymity in homonym identification, i.e., homonym-of-individuals-with-individuality.

Selenium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review

Ronald Eisler
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.
