Contaminated Sediments / With contributions by numerous experts edited by Tarek A. Kassim, Damià Barceló. - recurso en línea. - The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ; 5T .
Springer eBooks
The Influence of Contaminated Sediments on Sustainable Use of the Planet -- Chlorinated and Brominated Organic Pollutants in Contaminated River Sediments -- Effects of Static vs. Tidal Hydraulic Conditions on Biogeochemical Processes in Mesocosms: Degradation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons (AHs) -- Marine Sediment Toxicity Identification Evaluations (TIEs): History, Principles, Methods, and Future Research -- Nucleic Acid-Based Techniques for Studying Diversity and Activity of Bacterial Communities in Oil-Contaminated Sediments -- Steady-State Model of Chemical Migration in a Sediment Cap.
When discussing the issue of contamination of the aquatic environment, water pollution is still the major aspect that has been regulated and extensively studied, but poor attention has been devoted to sediments. Sediments have been described as the sink or storage place and a source for contaminants entering river systems through various pathways. But bottom sediments have various functions in the environment, such as providing habitat for many aquatic organisms, and are an important component of aquatic ecosystems. This volume of the Handbook deals with various aspects of sediment contamination such as the fate and behavior of persistent organic pollutants, the application of sediment toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) protocols, and the various ways to degrade toxic pollutants from sediments. Overall the book provides readers the fundamental knowledge needed to better understand the complex issue of contaminated sediments.
