Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of metal pollution in the Western Harbour of Alexandria, Egypt
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine the concentrations of heavy metals in surfacial bottom sediments of the harbor, to assess their potential biological effects and to identify their possible sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical fractionation and risk assessment of trace elements in sediments from tide-dominated Hooghly (Ganges) River Estuary, India
Priyanka Mondal,Marco Schintu,Barbara Marras,Alexandre Bettoschi,Alessandro Marrucci,Santosh Kumar Sarkar,Ranju Chowdhury,M.P. Jonathan,Jayanta Kumar Biswas +8 more
TL;DR: The geochemical fractionation and potential mobilization of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel and lead were studied in surficial sediments (top 0-10 cm; 46%), reflecting their adverse impact on benthic organisms as they are weakly bound to the sediment and can migrate to water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation, growth and larval settlement effects of sediment-associated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons on the estuarine polychaete, Streblospio benedicti (Webster)
TL;DR: A strong tolerance of PAH may explain why these polychaetes are not limited to pristine geographic areas, but can, as numerous field studies have shown, recruit well into hydrocarbon-contaminated and organically enriched sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and risk assessment of hydrocarbons (aliphatic and PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and pesticides in surface sediments from an agricultural river (Durance) and an industrialized urban lagoon (Berre lagoon), France
Fehmi Kanzari,Laurence Asia,Agung Dhamar Syakti,Anne Piram,Laure Malleret,Gilbert Mille,Pierre Doumenq +6 more
TL;DR: The distributions of organic pollutants and the risks on the ecosystem were studied in the Durance River and the Berre lagoon and showed that the sources of hydrocarbons in the sediments were generally more pyrolytic than petrogenic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments of Taihu Lake, eastern China
Zhi Tang,Jianyang Guo,Haiqing Liao,Xiaoli Zhao,Fengchang Wu,Yuanrong Zhu,Liang Zhang,John P. Giesy +7 more
TL;DR: F Forensic analysis of surface sediments indicates that PAHs originated primarily from combustion of grass/wood/coal except for the special function water area, which was most likely influenced by petroleum products of traveling vessels.

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.
Book
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.
