Processes controlling metal transport and retention as metal-contaminated groundwaters efflux through estuarine sediments.
Factors affecting the transport and retention of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in acidic groundwaters as they pass through estuarine sediments were investigated using column experiments. Acidic groundwaters caused the rapid dissolution of iron sulfide (AVS) and other iron and manganese phases from sediments that are important for metal binding and buffering. Metal breakthrough to overlying water oc...
متن کاملConsiderations for capping metal-contaminated sediments in dynamic estuarine environments.
The effects of tides, bioturbating organisms, and periods of anoxia on metal fluxes from contaminated harbor sediments in a shallow tidal estuarine bay were studied, together with capping technology options for the containment of metal contaminants. Zinc fluxes from the sediments were high, ranging from 10 to 89 mg of Zn m(-2) day(-1). In the absence of capping, experiments in corer-reactors sh...
متن کاملExposure-dose-response of Tellina deltoidalis to metal-contaminated estuarine sediments: 1. Cadmium spiked sediments.
Cadmium is a ubiquitous environmental metal contaminant with an affinity for biological membranes; it can enter cells by facilitated transport and it binds therein to various biomolecules and affects membrane system function. The relationship between cadmium exposure, dose and response was investigated in the benthic, deposit feeding, marine bivalve Tellina deltoidalis, using 28 day microcosm s...
متن کاملMicrobial links between sulfate reduction and metal retention in uranium- and heavy metal-contaminated soil.
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can affect metal mobility either directly by reductive transformation of metal ions, e.g., uranium, into their insoluble forms or indirectly by formation of metal sulfides. This study evaluated in situ and biostimulated activity of SRB in groundwater-influenced soils from a creek bank contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides within the former uranium mini...
متن کاملConstraints in cropping heavy-metal contaminated fluvial sediments.
Growth and heavy-metal uptake of various food crops and grass cultivated on harbour dredge spoils were studied, and health aspects in consuming the marketable products were discussed. Vegetables (potato, carrot, radish, endive, lettuce) and grass (English ryegrass) performed well on dredge spoils, but small grains (wheat, barley) were affected by manganese deficiency. As compared with crops gro...
