Influence of anthropogenic activities on PAHs in sediments in a significant gulf of low-latitude developing regions, the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea: distribution, sources, inventory and probability risk.
TL;DR: Sediments from the Beibu Gulf showed sediments here served as an important reservoir but low PAH risk, and coal combustion has always been a significant energy consumption pattern in this developing region for the past 30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rationale and Procedures for Using the Tissue-Residue Approach for Toxicity Assessment and Determination of Tissue, Water, and Sediment Quality Guidelines for Aquatic Organisms
TL;DR: An approach is presented here using toxic unit values that can be used to assess the likelihood of observing toxic effects based on tissue residues, which has utility for assessing the toxicity of contaminant mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of copper on the diversity, abundance and transcription of nitrite and nitrous oxide reductase genes in an urban European estuary
TL;DR: R reverse transcription-PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of nirK, nirS and nosZ transcripts showed a progressive decrease in the diversity of the transcription products of these genes with an increase of the Cu concentration.

Benthic foraminiferal colonization in experiments with copper-contaminated sediments
Elisabeth Alve,Frode Olsgard +1 more
TL;DR: Colonization experiments in the Oslofjord, Norway, have shown that sediment Cu-concentrations of .900 ppm cause a change in the living foraminiferal community structure as compared to control values of 70 ppm, and one prominent effect of the Cu-contamination is that the opportunistic and dominant S. fusiformis developed an increasingly patchy distribution pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of DGT and conventional methods to predict sediment metal bioavailability to a field inhabitant freshwater snail (Bellamya aeruginosa) from Chinese eutrophic lakes
TL;DR: DGT performed best in predicting metal accumulation in snails and which could be used to predict sediment metal bioavailability to field inhabitant snails from freshwater lake sediments due to their simple manipulation and validity.

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.
