Toxicity mechanism of anthropogenic water contaminants: drinking water disinfection by-products (haloacetic acids) and particle associated contaminants from sealcoats (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) in lake sediments
… the mutagenicity potential of the particle associated contaminants such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with coal tar and soot, extracted from lake core sediments. Studies based on the toxicity mechanism of HAAs water DBPs demonstrated that monoHAAs were the strongest …

Evaluating sediment storage time for improved management of river basin pollution
Excess fine sediment supply and associated contaminants can have detrimental effects on water quality and river ecology, with sediment deposition on, and subsequent infiltration into, streambed substrate impacting riverine habitats. Significant research has assessed the magnitude, controls, and …

Testing the efficacy of mitigation measures for reducing fine sediment and associated pollutant delivery to and through rivers in agricultural catchments of England
… through enhanced delivery of fine sediment and associated contaminants, leading to sedimentation and eutrophication. European legislation (Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC) and subsequent UK government initiatives such as Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) and Demonstration Test Catchments …

Zinc Mining Contamination and Sedimentation Rates of Historical Overbank Deposits, Honey Creek Watershed, Southwest Missouri
<p>Sediment-associated contaminants released by past mining activities in the Tri-State Lead and Zinc District in southwest Missouri pose a long-term risk to water quality. This study uses sedimentological and geochemical analyses to describe the relationships between mine contaminant dispersal and …

Microplastics as Contaminant Vectors: Influencing the Bioaccessibility of Naphthalene from Freshwater
… have the potential to transfer environmental contaminants to humans and other sensitive receptors. However, there is a paucity of information on the vector effects of MPs for toxic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in freshwater systems. The purpose of this research was to investigate the …

The development of dual signature, fluorescent magnetic sediment tracing technology
… is necessary to fully understand how sediments, contaminants and microbes move around the planet and the environmental impact that this constant flux of material has on the wider environment and on specific ecosystems. As sediment and soil are a fundamental resource for humans appropriate …

Integrated watershed modeling of mountainous landscapes : Assessing the environmental performance of an intensive farming system in South Korea
… world's population and the reduction of associated detrimental effects on the environment are of global concern. Intensive farming systems coupled with a high amounts of fertilizer applied to secure an increasing crop yield have a negative effects on the global environment. The nonpoint …
