Journal ArticleDOI
Status and Trends of Sediment Metal Pollution in Bohai Sea, China
Yunfang Li,Lei Guo,Huan Feng +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the advancement in the Bohai Sea sediment metal pollution studies in China, including spatial metal distributions, anthropogenic sources, and pollutant transport as well as factors affecting concentrations and potential ecological risk due to metal contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical contaminants in surficial sediment in Coral and Fish Bays, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
TL;DR: Contamination from toxic contaminants in the system was generally low when compared to other similar studies and potential toxicity thresholds (SQG), and exceptions to this were copper and total chlordane which exceeded the Effects Range Low (ERL) sediment quality guideline, indicating possible sediment toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variation of trace elements in seawater and sediment samples in a heavily industrialized region
Melik Kara,Melik Kara,Yetkin Dumanoglu,Hasan Altiok,Tolga Elbir,Mustafa Odabasi,Abdurrahman Bayram +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface seawater and coastal sediment samples were collected concurrently at 22 sampling sites during two sampling periods in the Aliaga industrial region, Turkey, using an ICP-MS system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of future anthropogenic change and associated benthic risk in coastal environments using sedimentary metal indicators
TL;DR: Two vintages of normalised metal concentrations in surficial sediment indicate Cu and Zn concentrations have increased over the period, while Pb concentrations have declined - a change verified by strategically located sedimentary cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentrations and Distribution of Trace Metals in Water and Streambed Sediments of Orogodo River, Southern Nigeria
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn in sediment and surface water, and some physico-chemical characteristics of Orogodo river sediments, were evaluated.

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.
