Predicting amphipod toxicity from sediment chemistry using logistic regression models.
Individual chemical logistic regression models were developed for 37 chemicals of potential concern in contaminated sediments to predict the probability of toxicity, based on the standard 10-d survival test for the marine amphipods Ampelisca abdita and Rhepoxynius abronius. These models were derived from a large database of matching sediment chemistry and toxicity data, which includes contamina...
متن کاملeffects of sand mining on suspended sediment particle size distribution in kojour forest river, iran
soil erosion causes sediments to be detached from their source materials and transported as suspended particles. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sand exploitation on the distribution of suspended sediments in the educational and research forest watershed of tarbiat modares university, which comprises approximately 50,000 ha. fifty-one water samples were collected befo...
متن کاملGrain size distribution effects on phosphate sorption by fluvial sediment: implications for modelling sediment- phosphate transport
A sensitivity analysis was performed on a sediment-phosphate transport model by determining the phosphate sorption characteristics of separated size fractions and prepared size distributions of fine-grained ( < 64 jum) river sediment typically transported in two southern Ontario streams. The Langmuir equation was used to quantify phosphate release from the sediment. Results of the study indicat...
متن کاملAccumulation and toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles in a soft-sediment estuarine amphipod.
Estuarine and marine sediments are a probable end point for many engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) due to enhanced aggregation and sedimentation in marine waters, as well as uptake and deposition by suspension-feeding organisms on the seafloor. Benthic infaunal organisms living in sediments encounter relatively high concentrations of pollutants and may also suffer toxic effects of ENPs. We tested...
متن کاملPollutant and organic matter content in sediment particle size fractions
In a partly urbanized catchment to the south of Trier, Germany, selected sediment samples were separated into different size fractions ranging from <2 urn to 200 urn. Each sample fraction was analysed for heavy metals, poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCB), poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and organic carbon. The results show a linear correlation between heavy metal content and particle size....
