Mobility and Bioavailability of Metals in Stream Sediments Impacted by Mining Activities: the Jaralito and the Mexicana in Sonora, Mexico
Yolanda Aguilar-Hinojosa,Diana Meza-Figueroa,Arturo I. Villalba-Atondo,Martín A. Encinas-Romero,Jesús L. Valenzuela-García,Agustín Gómez-Álvarez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated heavy metal mobility and bioavailability in sediments from the Mexicana and Jaralito streams, Northern Mexico, and performed a chemical partition analysis (sequential extraction) to determine geochemical phases in which metals are found.

Heavy metals' contamination in sediments of Wadi Al-Aqiq water reservoir dam at Al-Baha region, KSA: Their identification and assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the main purpose was to investigate the ecological and health risk assessment of heavy metals in the sediments of Wadi Al-Aqiq water reservoir, where the metals detected were arranged in decreasing order and Pearson correlation analysis indicated strong positive association and significant linear relation between various pairs of metals.

Relationships between biotic indices, multiple stressors and natural variability in New Zealand estuaries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used linear mixed models to determine the effect of multiple stressors (sediment mud content, metals and total phosphorus) and natural variability (associated with space, estuary type and time) on nine indices developed in New Zealand and overseas.

Individual and cumulative effects of agriculture, forestry and metal mining activities on the metal and phosphorus content of fluvial fine-grained sediment; Quesnel River Basin, British Columbia, Canada
Tyler B. Smith,Philip N. Owens +1 more
TL;DR: The lack of a cumulative effect at the basin-scale is thought to reflect the relatively recent occurrence of land use disturbances in this basin; the dominance of sediment contributions from natural forest and agriculture; and the potential for storage of contaminants on floodplains and other storage elements between the locations of disturbance activities and the downstream sampling site, which may be attenuating the disturbance signal.

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.
