Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and polychlorinated biphenyl sources in the Nakdong River Estuary, South Korea.

TL;DR: The primarily analyzed results determined that PAHs originated from the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, and overall concentrations were related to the contributions of individualPAHs in most sediment samples.

Seed oils of Pakistani wild species of Umbelliferae family: Ducrosia anethifolia, Bunium persicum, Bunium cylindricum and Ammi majus; as potential industrial raw material.

TL;DR: Experimental data suggested that the extraction of Ti(IV) and Fe(Il1) by Cyanex 272 did not have a simple extraction mechanism for all the acid ranges, suggesting that solvation mechanism may be operative at high acidity of the aqueous phase.

Development of proposed Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines for cadmium

TL;DR: In this paper, the derivation of Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines for cadmium and the potential uses of guidelines are discussed, including the potential use of guidelines to protect designated uses of environmental media (e.g. water for irrigation) or directly protect organisms from specific contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of element concentrations in surface sediment samples from Sığacık Bay (eastern Aegean)

TL;DR: In this article, Badur et al. proposed a method to solve the problem of "missing links" in the literature: https://www.deu.edu.tr/
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the toxicity of sediments contaminated with diesel fuel using glochidia and juvenile mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae)

TL;DR: Sediment toxicity was evaluated for one site upstream and three sites downstream of a diesel fuel spill that occurred in Fish Creek (OH and IN) in September 1993 using glochidia and juvenile unionid mussels as mentioned in this paper.

Mercury Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review

Ronald Eisler
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

Ronald Eisler
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.
