Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the most important parameters influencing trace metal distribution in sediments are reviewed and accent is put on sedimentation rate, grain size distribution and the knowledge of past events through sedimentological and mineralogical parameters.

TL;DR: The use of mean trace metal solubilities for the assessment of dissolved atmospheric trace metal wet deposition fluxes, and their effects on surface ocean biogeochemistry should be constrained by taking into account rainwater pH in future estimates in global models.
Abstract: Chemical processes controlling the dissolved and particulate phase distribution of crustal (Al) and noncrustal metals (Pb, Cu, and Zn) appear to differ in marine precipitation sampled over the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Dissolved Al appears to be in equilibrium with a trivalent Al salt at rainwater pH 80% of the total Pb, Cu, and Zn concentrations are delivered to the surface oceans in the dissolved form. For a corresponding pH range, Al solubility varies from 60%. Over the wider observed pH range (of 3.5 to 6.9), the solubilities of Pb, Cu, Zn, and Al are highly variable. The use of mean trace metal solubilities for the assessment of dissolved atmospheric trace metal wet deposition fluxes, and their effects on surface ocean biogeochemistry should be constrained by taking into account rainwater pH in future estimates in global models.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The partition coefficient of trace metals between SPM and water declined with increasing SPM concentration, consistent with the so-called "particle concentration effect", may be explained by the presence of fine particles enriched with trace metals at low SPM concentrations, and the salinity-induced desorption.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Significant differences in oyster accumulated concentrations (and hence bioavailabilities) of Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Cd, Ni and Ag were found between stations, and attributed to anthropogenic inputs including discharges of sewage and industrial effluent.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the relation of sediment characteristics to trace metal concentrations was statistically studied by Kendall rank and partial rank correlation analysis, and the partial correlation analysis indicated that trace metal concentration of the relatively uncontaminated sediments can be better interpreted by the sediment surface area and aluminum content, an indication of the local geochemical processes.
