Influence 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...
متن کاملPlutonium isotopes 238 Pu , 239 + 240 Pu and 241 Pu in the Baltic Sea ecosystem
Wet and dry atmospheric fallout from nuclear weapon tests is one of the most important sources of plutonium in the Baltic Sea. The other sources: plutonium releases from spent fuel facilities in Sellafield (UK) and Cap de la Hague (France) are less important. Since 26 April 1986 it has been a new source of plutonium – Chernobyl plutonium, which should be taken under note in estimation of its ra...
متن کاملKinetic speciation and bioavailability of copper and nickel in mangrove sediments.
An attempt was made to establish a mechanistic linkage between chemical speciation of copper and nickel, and their bioavailability in mangrove ecosystem. Kinetic speciation study was performed to determine the concentrations of labile metal-complexes and their dissociation rate constants in mangrove sediments. Concentrations of copper and nickel in the mangrove roots were used as indicators of ...
متن کاملMetal-colloid partitioning in artificial interstitial waters of marine sediments: influences of salinity, pH, and colloidal organic carbon concentration.
For decades, heavy metals have been deposited into marine sediments as a result of anthropogenic activities. Depending on their bioavailability, these metals may represent a risk to benthic organisms. Dissolved interstitial water metal concentrations have been shown to be better predictors of bioavailability than sediment metal concentrations. In order to improve our understanding of metals bio...
متن کاملStudy of sedimentological characteristics and Chemical Index of Alteration in the Aeolian sediments
Coastal and inland dune sands in desert environments are compositionally and texturally controlled by physical and chemical processes such as the wind action, marine/fluvial processes, weathering, air temperature and precipitation. The objectives of this research are study of sedimentological characteristics, calculation of CIA in the Aeolian sediments and classification of sand dunes in the Ya...
