Metal pollution assessment and multivariate analysis in sediment of Anzali international wetland
TL;DR: A new sediment quality index named sediment toxicity degree was developed based on the results of the multivariate statistical analysis to assess metal toxicity in surface sediments of aquatic systems as mentioned in this paper, which showed higher sensitivity of the new index (STd) to assess toxic effect of heavy metals on sediments and better capability to differentiate zones with different levels of risk within the study area than that of some other indices such as SQG-Q.

Predicting amphipod toxicity from sediment chemistry using logistic regression models.
L. Jay Field,Donald D. MacDonald,Susan B. Norton,Christopher G. Ingersoll,Corinne G. Severn,D. E. Smorong,R. A. Lindskoog +6 more
TL;DR: The average predicted probability of toxicity inside probability quartiles closely matched the incidence of toxicity within the same ranges, demonstrating the overall reliability of the P(Max) model for the database that was used to derive the model.

Foraminiferal assemblages in Biscayne Bay, Florida, USA: Responses to urban and agricultural influence in a subtropical estuary
TL;DR: This study assessed foraminiferal assemblages in Biscayne Bay, Florida, a heavily utilized estuary, interpreting changes over the past 65 years and providing a baseline for future comparisons.
Journal Article
Effects of copper on the faunas of marine soft-sediments: an experimental field study
TL;DR: Univariate (ANOVA) and multivariate (non-metric multidimensional scaling, MDS) analyses of the changes in the faunas showed that increased concentrations of copper had an impact on the fauna, and the nature of the response varied among taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of sediment quality guidelines for toxicity assessment in the Sunderban wetlands (Bay of Bengal, India).
Andrea Binelli,Santosh Kumar Sarkar,Mousumi Chatterjee,C. Riva,Marco Parolini,Bhaskar Deb Bhattacharya,A. Bhattacharya,Kamala Kanta Satpathy +7 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of the toxicity induced by a mixture of the target pollutants indicated the importance of gamma-HCH contamination in the Sunderban sediments despite the very low concentrations measured in core sediments.

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.

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.
