The Use of Field Screening or Rapid Sediment Characterization (RSC) Tools for Sediment Assessments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses several rapid site characterization (RSC) technologies that can be used at marine sediment sites, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for metals, ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, QwikSed bioassay for assessing toxicity, and other techniques. Examples are provided to illustrate the efficacy of applying RSC tools to different stages of the Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) process. Finally, recommendations are given for the evaluation, selection, and application of RSC tools for the ERA process.

Numerical Analysis of Sediment Transport in Sewer Pipe
The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

Asaluyeh Fishery Port is an old fishery port located in the south-east of the Bushehr Province. The rapid shoreline advancement of the updrift fillet of the main breakwater during past few years and the sedimentation at the port entrance has resulted to substantial difficulties in using the port. The relatively large amount of sedimentation finally affected the navigation at the entrance of the...

Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...
