The phosphate sorption capacity of intertidal vegetated marsh sediments was measured along a salinity gradient in the Cooper River estuary, South Carolina. The phosphate sorption capacity of the surface sediments (0–10 cm) of a freshwater marsh was higher than the sorption capacity of sediments from brackish and saline marshes, and surface sediments had greater sorption capacity than subsurface...
متن کاملSorption, degradation and leaching of pesticides in soils amended with organic matter: A review
The use of pesticides in modern agriculture is unavoidable because they are required to control weeds. Pesticides are poisonous; hence, they are dangerous if misused. Understanding the fate of pesticides will be useful to use them safely. Therefore, contaminations of water and soil resources could be avoided. The fates of pesticides in soils are influenced by their sorption, decomposition and m...
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 کاملThe concentration of Lead, Cadmium, Zinc and Copper in sediments of Ganduman wetland with geochemical indices
Sediments play an effective role in pollution control or water purification of the wetland ecosystem and record heavy metals contamination as an historical archive. Ganduman wetland is one of the top 10 birdwatching wetlands in Iran. This study aimed to to investigate the concentration of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Ganduman sediments. For this purpose, sediment samples were collected man...
