Development and testing of a prototype tool for integrated assessment of chemical status in marine environments

TL;DR: The CHASE tool can in combination with temporal trend assessments of individual substances be advantageous for use in remedial action plans and, in particular, for the science-based evaluation of the status and for determining which specific substances are responsible for a status as potentially affected.

Trace Elements and Organic Chemicals in Stream- Bottom Sediments and Fish Tissues, Red River of the North Basin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, 1992-95

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of trace elements in fish livers and traces in whole-fish samples, and the implications for resource quality and its implications for fish tissues.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHS) along the Eastern Caspian Sea Coast

TL;DR: In this article, Sediment samples were taken from the eastern Caspian Sea coast of Mazandaran state analyzed by (GC) for PAHs and four molecular indices were used to determine the pyrogenic and petrogenic sources.

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.
