Download or read book Contaminated Sediments written by Ulrich Förstner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediments are increasingly recognized as both a carrier and a possible source of contaminants in aquatic systems, and they may also affect groundwater quality and agricultural products when disposed on land. Four aspects are covered reflecting the development of knowledge in particle-associated pollutants during the past twenty-five years: - the identification, surveillance, monitoring and control of sources and distribution of pollutants, - the evaluation of solid/solution relations of contaminants in surface waters, - the study of in-situ processes and mechanisms of pollutant transfer in various compartments of the aquatic ecosystems, - the assessment of the environmental impact of particle-bound contaminants, i.e. the development of sediment quality criteria. A final chapter focusses on practical aspects concerning contaminated sediments.

Download or read book Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data for Organic Chemicals written by Philip H. Howard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1989-04-30 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 5-volume set allows you to assess the health and environmental effects of chemicals by determining the routes of exposure of the chemical to sensitive organisms. Environmental Fate and Exposure of Organic Chemicals provides relevant facts on how individual chemicals behave in the environment and how humans and environmental organisms are exposed to the chemicals during their production, rise, transport, and disposal. Each chemical is prepared by one of the best-known organizations in environmental fate and exposure and is peer-reviewed by a panel of expert scientists. The information on each chemical includes all experimental values and references for physical properties, all chemical fate studies, and all available monitoring data and interpretative summaries.

Merriman and published by Burlington, Ont. : Inland Waters/Lands Directorate, Ontario Region, Water Quality Branch. This book was released on 1987 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bottom and suspended sediment was collected from the St. Lawrence River between Kingston and Cornwall inJuly 1981 by the Water Quality Branch, Ontario Region. Samples were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, chlorobenzenes and organic carbon. Particle size distribution was determined on bottom sediment. This report summarizes the concentration and distribution of the trace organic contaminants and compares findings with other available historical data. Total PCBs were compared with the Ontario Ministry of Environment dredged material guideline for open water disposal"--Abstract, p. v
