Deterioration of Concrete in Ambient Marine Environment (RESEARCH NOTE)
Structural concrete exposed to marine environment deserves special attention as the diffused sea salts chemically react with harden cement matrix and forms various expansive/leachable compounds leading to loss of material, strength, cracking, spalling etc. This study cover the effect of sea water on the specimens cast from two grades of concrete exposed to simulated marine environment over a ye...
متن کاملEstimated Mass Balances of Perfluorinated Chemicals in Tokyo Bay
Introduction Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) have been used widely as surfactants, lubricants, paper and textile coatings, polishes, food packaging, and fire-retarding foams over the past fifty years. Some of these chemicals, such as perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are persistent in the environment and have been found in wild animal samples around the wor...
متن کاملSource Identification of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Tokyo Bay Sediment
Introduction To employ improved countermeasures against PCB sources and to reduce the risk to aquatic biota, it is important to identify sources and migration pathways and ascertain their contribution to PCB pollution . Thus, a wider range of studies is required to identify potential PCB sources in the environment. The objective of this study is to identify PCB pollution sources affecting Tokyo...
متن کاملTrophic dilution of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) in the pelagic marine food web of Tokyo Bay, Japan.
Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS), specifically octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6), were evaluated in the pelagic marine food web of Tokyo Bay, Japan. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners that are "legacy" chemicals known to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and biomagnify...
متن کاملA significant net sink for CO2 in Tokyo Bay
Most estuaries and inland waters are significant source for atmospheric CO2 because of input of terrestrial inorganic carbon and mineralization of terrestrially supplied organic carbon. In contrast to most coastal waters, some estuaries with small freshwater discharge are weak source or sometimes sink for CO2. Extensive surveys of pCO2 in Tokyo Bay showed that the overall bay acts as a strong n...
