Download or read book A Primer on Sediment Trace Element Chemistry written by Arthur J. Horowitz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1991-04-23 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a basic introduction to sediment-heavy metal interactions and how sediment chemical data can be used to address environmental questions and issues. It is designed to promote self-teaching and is written so that students and professionals with a minimum of formal training in the environmental sciences can understand it. The book addresses all of the major physical and chemical factors that control sediment-trace element chemistry, as well as sampling and sampling design, data manipulation, and data interpretation. Following in the steps of the successful first edition, which was used as a text for a three day short course for U.S. Geological Survey professionals interested in sediment trace chemistry and its application to water quality issues, A Primer on Sediment-Trace Element Chemistry, 2nd Edition is ideal for academics, geochemists, chemists, hydrologists, environmental lawyers, and water quality professionals needing a comprehensive introduction to this field.

Download or read book Transport and Transformation of Contaminants Near the Sediment Water Interface written by Joseph V. DePinto and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-10-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport and Transformation of Contaminants Near the Sediment-Water Interface addresses the issue of contaminated bottom sediments and their potential adverse impacts on water quality. This state-of-the-science book covers regulatory management perspectives, physical processes, chemical and biological processes, and process synthesis/modeling. Specific topics discussed include EPA's Sediment Quality Criteria program from a regulatory perspective; flocculation, deposition, and resuspension of fine-grained sediments; approaches for measuring vertical sediment flux near the sediment-water interface; equilibrium models for metal speciation in natural sediments; the partitioning of organic chemicals in bottom sediments; and the development and application of models of sediment and associated contaminant transport in surface waters. The significance of recent studies suggesting that interaction of contaminated bottom sediments with the overlying water play an important role in the long-term recovery of aquatic systems makes Transport and Transformation of Contaminants Near the Sediment-Water Interface essential for water quality engineers, environmental chemists, and environmental toxicologists. The volume provides important information for consultants, regulators, researchers, and graduate students as well.

This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fate and Effects of Sediment-Bound Chemicals in Aquatic Systems presents the proceedings of the Sixth Pellston Workshop, held in Florissant, Colorado on August 12–17, 1984. This book presents the development of scientific inquiry of hazards to the aquatic environment. Organized into 27 chapters, this compilation of papers begins with an overview of water quality significance of sediment-associated contaminants to aquatic life. This text then addresses the topic of the role of suspended and settled sediments in regulating the effects of chemicals in the aquatic environment. Other chapters consider the nature and extent of partitioning and bioavailability, which are key elements in research efforts toward assessing the effects of sediments on water quality. This book discusses as well the regulatory and management strategies for chemicals entering public water supplies. The final chapter deals with conclusions and recommendations identified during the workshop. This book is a valuable resource for biologists and environmental scientists.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspended sediment plays an important role in the transport and geochemical cycling of aquatic trace metals. The sampling and subsequent analysis of suspended sediment has been used to locate ore deposits, determine water-quality trends, and identify anthropogenic pollution sources. Many laboratories and organizations determine suspended sediment-trace metal concentrations by the method of difference. However, this procedure may lack sufficient sensitivity to accurately and precisely determine suspended sediment metal levels when either metal or suspended sediment concentrations are low. Many of the difficulties associated with the method of difference can be eliminated or minimized by a direct analysis of suspended sediment. The classical procedure for concentrating (dewatering) suspended sediment entails in-line filtration using preweighed 0.45-μm membrane filters; subsequent analysis entails the digestion of the sediment plus filter, analysis of the digestate, and the application of a blank correction for metal contributions from the filters. This procedure can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming, especially when large-scale studies with numerous sampling sites or high sampling frequencies are required. Potential alternative methods of concentration (dewatering) of suspended sediment which could be used in lieu of in-line filtration and for direct quantitation of trace metals while reducing costs were investigated. Three potential substitute procedures--batch centrifugation, settling-centrifugation, and backflush-filtration--were compared to in-line filtration, and were field and laboratory tested. Results indicate that both the batch centrifugation and the settlingcentrifugation procedures are comparable with in-line filtration, and are amenable to large-scale sampling and trace-metals analysis programs.

Download or read book The Sava River written by Radmila Milačič and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive overview of environmental aspects of the Sava River, which is the greatest tributary to the Danube River and the major drainage river system of South Eastern Europe. Hydroelectric power plants, river traffic, intensive agricultural activities, heavy industry and floods have considerable influence on the environment and biota in the basin. Summarizing the results that were gathered in the course of EU, bilateral and national projects, the book highlights the most important stressors and helps readers to better understand the impact of anthropogenic activities on the function of river basins. Topics include: transboundary water cooperation between the riparian countries; climate change projection, including its impact on flood hazards; evaluation of anthropogenic pollution sources; pollution of sediments, metal bioavailability and ecotoxicological and microbiological characterization of the river. The biological part also addresses quality aspects related to wildlife in river aquatic ecosystems (algae, macrophytes, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates and fish) and riparian ecosystems (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). The general state of biodiversity and pressures caused by invasive aquatic species are also discussed.
