An Ecological Risk Assessment for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Produced Water Discharges to the Western Gulf of Mexico

TL;DR: In the North Sea, an average of 438 million L/day of treated produced water was discharged to the entire North Sea (Stephenson et al., 1994) and the Statfjord oil field alone discharged an average 30.9 million l/day to the Norwegian sector of the North sea (Ynnesdal and Furuholt, 1994).

Derivation of no-effect and reference-level sediment quality values for application at Saskatchewan uranium operations

TL;DR: A gradient of exposure concentrations was apparent for As, Mo, Ni, Se, and U in sediment which allowed for tolerable exposure levels of these metals in sediment to be defined and suggested a range of new, alternate metal SQVs for use at uranium operations in northern Saskatchewan.

Creosote Treated Timber in the Alaskan Marine Environment Volume II

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a conceptual risk assessment model to evaluate the toxic effects of creosote contamination, if any, outweigh the benefit to society from their use, and examine some research issues that will assist risk management decisions.
Dissertation

Évaluation du niveau de contamination chimique et de la qualité des ressources vivantes aquatiques

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the qualite-fraicheur des eaux marines and the quality of the products of the mer by measuring the permeabilite cellulaire of the muscle de poisson.

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.
