Sediments

Chemistry and Toxicity of In-Place Pollutants

Important research results from a meeting of the world's leaders in the study of toxic pollutants in sediments, Sediments: Chemistry and Toxicity of In-Place Pollutants presents practical information regarding measuring and mapping distributions of concentrations of pollutants and their toxic effects in sediment. Find out about the use, relative advantage?, and disadvantages of benthic chambers sedimentation traps, box corers, "peepers" and other sampling techniques used in sediment research and assessment. Designed to benefit anyone interested in the processes that control the chemistry and movement of pollutants in sediments, the book provides important information for assessing and monitoring the chemistry, dynamics, bioavailability, and tonicity of pollutants.
