Suspended particulate matter transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the lower Columbia River and its estuary
Analysis of suspended particulate material (SPM) collected from the Columbia River and its estuary in 2007– 2008 revealed the ubiquitous presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from several distinct sources. The two dominant ones were: (1) a suite of non-alkylated, three to five-ringed compounds derived from high temperature combustion and (2) perylene, a compound of diagenetic orig...
متن کاملMutagenicity and genotoxicity of suspended particulate matter in the Seine river estuary.
Highly mutagenic compounds such as some PAHs have been identified in surface waters and sediments of the Seine river estuary. Suspended particulate matter (SPM) represents a dynamic medium that may contribute to the exposure of aquatic organisms to toxic compounds in the water column of the estuary. In order to investigate major sources of mutagenic contaminants along the estuary, water samples...
متن کاملNitrification and inorganic N in the Pearl River Estuary
We investigated the spatial distribution and seasonal variation of dissolved inorganic nitrogen in a large perturbed estuary, the Pearl River Estuary, based on three cruises conducted in winter (January 2005), summer (August 2005) and spring (March 2006). On-site incubation was also carried out for determining ammonium and nitrite oxidation 5 rates (nitrification rates). We observed a year-roun...
متن کاملRole of organic matter, clay, and iron contents in the sorption of oxytetracycline on river sediments
Background: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely-used antibiotic; metabolism studies indicate only partial assimilation of it inside the body. Traditional wastewater treatment plants cannot remove OTC, and this results in the release of considerable amounts of the drug into aquatic environments. There is much concern over the role of residual antibiotics in the development of new generations of ba...
متن کاملAbsorption and fluorescence of chromophoric dissolved organic matter in the Pearl River Estuary, South China
The Pearl River is a complex river network under the influence of heavy urbanization and industrialization. The Pearl River Estuary receives freshwater from eight major sources, each containing various pollutants. The spectral absorption and fluorescence properties of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the Pearl River Estuary were studied during November 2002, a low flow (dry) seas...
