Book Synopsis Metal Contaminated Aquatic Sediments by : HerbertE. Allen
Download or read book Metal Contaminated Aquatic Sediments written by HerbertE. Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade the sediments of many rivers, lakes, and estuaries have been contaminated by inorganic and organic materials. Contaminants from sediments, under certain conditions, can be released into overlying waters. Thus, sediments may be an important source of contaminants to waters in which littoral and atmospheric contaminants have been reduced or eliminated. Often found in aquatic sediments, metals are exposed to many reactions, such as sorption and precipitation, and are greatly influenced by the redox conditions in the sediment. The reactions - usually over a period of time - reflect biotic processing as well as chemical transformations. This book describes these important processes. Metal Contaminated Aquatic Sediments outlines advances in environmental chemistry, effective new modeling techniques, applications for biological treatment, and cycling and transport of trace metals in sedimentary environments. Each chapter contains a detailed reference section that draws upon a stunning array of sources. The book includes many figures and tables that illustrate the process under discussion. Features
Book Synopsis Contaminated Sediments: by : Marianne Olsen
Download or read book Contaminated Sediments: written by Marianne Olsen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic Council of Ministers have recognized the need to compile the knowledge of sediment remediation strategies and to evaluate different remediation approaches. The objective of this report is to give a status of regulatory framework and sediment management within selected Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark). In addition, the report gives a short overview of international knowledge on remediation approaches, techniques, and materials. Governance and regulatory instruments in dealing with contaminated sediments vary between countries. Of the countries presented, only Norwegian environmental authorities have implemented a national strategy for remediation of marine contaminated sediments. A Nordic database of clean-up projects and long-term monitoring would improve the exchange of knowledge between the Nordic countries.

Book Synopsis Bioremediation Of Contaminated Marine Sediments by : Laura Rocchetti
Download or read book Bioremediation Of Contaminated Marine Sediments written by Laura Rocchetti and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine sediments are often characterized by the presence of high concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants, influencing sediment re-use and/or disposal. The use of eco-compatible strategies is promising to reduce the level of contamination. In this book important findings in the field of sediment bioremediation are reported, including a better understanding of the role of microbial communities in relation to contaminant fate, and kinetic models for contaminant biodegradation. The information given here is the result of an interdisciplinary methodological approach, based on tools of Microbial Ecology, Biogeochemistry and Process Analysis to overcome the many difficulties that are encountered when bioremediation is applied. A know-how to face with sediment bioremediation has been developed, useful to professionals working in the field of Sediment Management, researchers, students or anyone else interested in the tricky application of environmentally friendly strategies to contaminated sediments.

Book excerpt: The problem of contaminated marine sediments has emerged as an environmental issue of national importance. Harbor areas in particular have been found to contain high levels of contaminants in bottom sediments due to wastes from municipal, industrial, and riverine sources.

Book Synopsis Organic and inorganic contaminants in marine sediments off northern Mozambique by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Organic and inorganic contaminants in marine sediments off northern Mozambique written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the results of the measurements of grain size, total organic carbon (TOC), hydrocarbons and metals in surface sediments (>100 samples) collected from 40 locations off the coast of northern Mozambique during an environmental survey in March–April 2018. The survey was carried out from the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen in the following areas: (i) Pemba – planned gas industry logistic base, (ii) Ibo Island (Quirimbas National Protected Area) to St. Lazarus Bank – the reference area, and (iii) Palma - gas exploration area. The contents of fine-grained fraction (<63 μm) of the sediment varied strongly in all areas from coarse sediment to high mud contents, whereas TOC levels were generally low and correlated poorly with fine-grained fraction. Background levels of hydrocarbons and metals were found in most of the samples. Anthropogenic contamination was found at one site in Pemba harbour. No oil-related contamination was demonstrated, including the Palma area where gas exploration is concentrated. Elevated concentrations of barium and total hydrocarbon content at some locations in the Palma area are attributed to drilling activities but are not considered to be of environmental concern. Based on the measured concentrations of chemicals, background concentrations for the studied areas are proposed.

Book Synopsis Sediment Toxicity Assessment by : G.Allen Burton
Download or read book Sediment Toxicity Assessment written by G.Allen Burton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediment Toxicity Assessment provides the latest information regarding how to evaluate sediment contamination and its effects on aquatic ecosystems. It presents an integrated ecosystem approach by detailing effective assessment methods, considerations, and effects to each major component of marine and freshwater systems, including the benthos, plankton, and fish communities. The approaches emphasize defining habitat conditions (physical and chemical), toxicant bioavailability, factors influencing toxicity (lab and field), biomarkers, acute and chronic toxicity, study design, collection methods, and EPA management strategies. The book also explains how to integrate the assessments. Sediment Toxicity Assessment will be useful to to all environmental managers, environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, environmental regulators, aquatic ecologists, environmental contractors and consultants, instructors, students, conservation commissions, and environmental activist organizations.
