Baseline assessment of organic contaminants in surficial sediment from Kachemak Bay, Alaska
Dennis A. Apeti,S. Ian Hartwell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized the distribution of organic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychrlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and a suite of organochlorine pesticides (dichlorodiphenyl tricholoroethane (DDTs), cyclodienes and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), in five strata in Kachemak Bay, as well as sediment total organic carbon (TOC) content and grain size.

Biodiversity reduction on contaminated sediments in the sea: contamination or sediment mobility?
TL;DR: Where contaminants in sediments correlate with biodiversity reductions, the contamination may not be the cause, but other physical factors may be responsible and should be investigated so that any remedial action is directed properly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Contamination and Toxicity of Sediments from the Gunsan Coast, Korea
TL;DR: High levels of contaminants were found in the proximity of potential sources, such as the outfall of a wastewater treatment plant for NP, an anthracite-fired power plant for PAHs, and ports for BTs, fecal sterols, and sediment toxicity, which indicates that Gunsan coast has various potential sources of marine sediment contaminants.
Mass transfer processes and impact on the geochemistry of terrestrial, estuarine and marine environments in Sri Lanka and SW Japan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Declaration of Recognition and Acknowledgments for the authorship of this paper. But they do not discuss the authors' methodology. And they

Spatial distribution of some elements and elemental contamination in the sediments of Köyceğiz Lake (SW Turkey)
Halil İbrahim Gülşen-Rothmund,Halil İbrahim Gülşen-Rothmund,Özgür Avşar,Ulas Avsar,Bedri Kurtuluş,Evren Tunca +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the elemental accumulation, distribution and relationship profiles for sediment samples taken at 81 localities in the Koycegiz Lake and found that the sediments taken from areas close to the Namnam (NamSM) and Kargicak (KarSM) stream mouths have the highest element content.

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.
