Fluxes of copper-complexing ligands from estuarine sediments
Most studies of the organic complexation of Cu in natural waters have focused on distributions and processes in the water column, where a significant fraction of Cu-complexing ligands may be biologically produced. We present direct evidence for a flux of Cu-complexing ligands from estuarine sediments, demonstrating that sediments are a significant, yet previously unrecognized source of the liga...

متن کاملPhotodegradation of strong copper-complexing ligands in organic-rich estuarine waters
Exposure to solar radiation substantially decreased the strong copper-complexing capacity of samples collected from the organic-rich Cape Fear estuary, North Carolina. Samples exposed to natural sunlight for 1–2 d experienced a loss of strong Cu ligand (modeled at fixed K9CuL 5 1013.5) ranging from 15–33%, and .90% using long-term exposures under controlled conditions with a Xe arc solar simula...
متن کاملBenthic fluxes of copper, complexing ligands and thiol compounds in shallow lagoon waters.
Benthic fluxes of copper, copper complexing ligands and thiol compounds in the shallow waters of Venice Lagoon (Italy) were determined using benthic chambers and compared to porewater concentrations to confirm their origin. Benthic copper fluxes were small due to small concentration differences between the porewaters and the overlying water, and the equilibrium concentration was the same at bot...
متن کاملInfluence of bioturbation by Hediste diversicolor on mercury fluxes from estuarine sediments: a mesocosms laboratory experiment.
Mercury, with its reactive forms being the most deleterious for the trophic chains, has been identified as a major pollutant in a few confined bodies of the coastal zone. Due to feeding, burrowing, and bioirrigation activities, infauna are known to play a crucial role in the biogeochemical processes of contaminants. The main goal of the present study is to evaluate the effects of Hediste divers...
