Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of weathered coal tar for shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) embryos and larvae.
TL;DR: No decrease in petroleum hydrocarbon concentration was observed in sediments exposed to flowing water for 14 d, supporting the contention that soluble hydrocarbons were not responsible for the observed toxicity in whole sediment exposures under the conditions employed in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological shifts due to anthropogenic activities in the coastal seas of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, since the 20th century.
TL;DR: Multiproxy analyses were conducted using sediment cores in a low-polluted coastal site (Hiuchi-nada) in the Seto Inland Sea (SIS), Japan, revealing three types of ecological and environmental history since the 20th century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Estuarine Quality Status at System Level Using the Biological Quality Index and the Pollution Load Index
TL;DR: The Biological Quality Index and Pollution Load Index have been suggested as simple and robust tools as mentioned in this paper, which have been used in a variety of estuaries in Europe and the US, yielding values over the full scale from near 0 to a maximum of 10.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ecological risk investigation of marine sediment from the northern Mediterranean coasts (Aegean Sea) using multiple methods of pollution determination
TL;DR: The findings of the modified degree of contamination (mCd) and the pollution load index (PLI) suggested that the accumulation was greatest in Ayvalık, and the least in Hekimadası and Ildır.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of AMD on water quality in critical watershed in the Hudson River drainage basin: Phillips Mine, Hudson Highlands, New York
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model for derivation/dissolution, sequestration, transport and dilution of contaminants is proposed, which correlates with dilution and sharp rise in pH when mine water mixes with tributaries.

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.
