Metal bioavailability and bioaccumulation in the polychaete Nereis (Alitta) virens (Sars): The effects of site-specific sediment characteristics.
TL;DR: Investigating the relationships between copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in sediment, pore water and their bioaccumulation in the polychaete Nereis (Alitta) virens showed that site-specific metal levels and sediment characteristics were important in determining the bioavailability of metals to worms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of land-based sources of pollution in Jobos Bay, Puerto Rico: status of heavy metal concentration in bed sediment.
Dennis A. Apeti,David R. Whitall,Anthony S. Pait,Angel Dieppa,Adam G. Zitello,Gunnar G. Lauenstein +5 more
TL;DR: The data presented here suggest that, although the Jobos Bay watershed contains both urban centers along with industrial and agricultural developments, anthropogenic inputs of metals may be negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Monotoring and Assessment Program: Current Status of Virginian Province (U.S.) Estuaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the ecological condition of the Virginian Province estuarine resources, and provide a baseline for identifying possible future changes, are provided, with 95% confidence limits, of the areal extent of impacted resources within the Province.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of surface water quality impacts of hazardous chemical sites
G. Fred Lee,Anne Jones-Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an alternative approach, Evaluation Monitoring, which shifts the monitoring program from periodic sampling and analysis of stormwater runoff and ambient waters for a suite of chemical parameters, to examining the receiving waters to determine what, if any, water quality use impairments are occurring in surface waters due to the runoff-associated constituents and shallow groundwater input.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of Arctic trace metal data with implications for biological effects
TL;DR: A review of the existing data on trace metal distributions in the Arctic can be found in this article, showing that trace metal concentrations found in Arctic waters, sediments and organisms, with few exceptions, are similar to those found in temperate areas thought to be largely free of pollutant levels of metals.

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.
