CARISMA Project: an example of integrated approach in the study of the adverse effects posed by antifouling agents in the Southern Adriatic Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary survey in ports and marinas along coastal areas of both countries was conducted to assess potential adverse ecological effects posed by selected antifouling agents on non-target marine organisms.

Persistent organic pollutants associated to water fluxes and sedimentary processes in the Colorado River delta, Baja California, México

TL;DR: In this article, sediment cores from two distinctive modern channels of the Colorado River (CR) delta were studied in sediment cores and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were associated with flood-flows from the CR across the USA-Mexico border.

Irreversible and Large‐Scale Heavy Metal Pollution Arising From Increased Damming and Untreated Water Reuse in the Nile Delta

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluate the level of heavy metal pollution in the Nile Delta, identify its sources and explore the implications of damming on heavy metal concentration using integrated pollution indicators and statistical modeling.

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.
