Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical mapping of Pb- and Zn-contaminated streambed sediments in southwest Missouri, USA
TL;DR: In this paper, four locations in southwest Missouri, USA, purportedly contaminated with mining wastes, Joplin, Aurora, Springfield, and the James River, were investigated for lead and zinc content using spatial distribution and statistical analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery and validation of historical sediment quality data from coastal and estuarine areas: An integrated approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a database of sediment chemistry and environmental parameters has been compiled for Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay and illustrates methodologies for rescuing and validating sediment data from heterogeneous historical sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and human health risk from polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides in bivalves of Cheonsu Bay, Korea
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of PCBs and OCPs in sediment, Manila clams, and mussels from Cheonsu Bay, and the accumulation pattern of these chemicals in these bivalves in relation to seasonal changes were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaching properties of estuarine harbor sediment before and after electrodialytic remediation
TL;DR: In this paper, contaminated harbor sediments from two locations in the United States and one in Canada were used to extract heavy metals from a variety of different media, including water, soil, and air.

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.
