Conference Report: NIST SPECIATION WORKSHOP Gaithersburg, MD June 13–15, 1995
program has been successful in making available to the community natural matrix materials that are very useful for the evaluation of radiochemical-measurement techniques. Traditionally, measurements of environmental radiological contamination have focused on the determination of total concentrations, a very useful tool for initial site characterization of impacted areas. It is clear, however, t...
متن کاملThe effects of crude oil on marine microbial communities in sediments from the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea: A microcosm experiment
Changes in the microbial community in response to catastrophic oil spills in marine and fresh water environments have been well documented. Molecular methods provide tools for analyzing the entire bacterial community, covering also those bacteria that have not been cultured in the laboratory. In this study, four different microcosms were set up containing sediments collected from the Persian Gu...

متن کاملValidation of Ucides cordatus as a bioindicator of oil contamination and bioavailability in mangroves by evaluating sediment and crab PAH records.
This study is aimed at verifying the relevance of Ucides cordatus as a bioindicator of oil contamination and PAH bioavailability in mangrove sediments. For this, crabs and sediment cores were sampled from five mangroves, including an area suspected of contamination derived from an MF380 oil spillage, and analyzed for the 16 PAH in the USEPA priority list as well as for the five series of alkyla...
متن کاملBioavailability of sedimentary metals from a contaminated bay
Sediments are considered the sink for metals in aquatic environments because of their strong metal-binding capacity, but they are a potential source for metal ingestion by marine benthic animals as well. Sediment contamination is now a major environmental problem in many countries, including China. This study examines the bioavailability to a marine suspension-feeder (the clam Mactra veneriform...
