Calcium carbonate is an important and often dominant component of marine sediments. This
is reflected by the observation that about 20% by volume of Phanerozoic (0-547 Ma; Ma) …

The aqueous geochemistry of chromium is reviewed, especially with reference to the recent
work of Rai et al.(Report EPRI EA-4544, 1986, Report EPRI EA-5741, 1988). The chromium …

This article reviews the emissions, environmental fate and transport, analytical chemistry,
uptake and metabolism, toxicology, and human epidemiology of chromium. Chromium is …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

It is clear from available data that the susceptibility of biological communities to trace
element contamination differs among aquatic environments. One important reason is that the …

Porewater concentration profiles were determined for Fe, trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cu,
Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn), sulfide, SO4 and pH in two Canadian Shield lakes (Chevreuil and …

The distribution of major elements and trace metals has been studied in two radiodated salt
marsh sediment cores (core K and core E) of the Scheldt estuary, in order to determine the …

Collection and analysis of pore water has become an important aspect of many
environmental programs. Pore water analyses are used for toxicity identification, sediment …

Samples collected in surface waters of the Seine estuary (France) during a low discharge
period were analyzed for dissolved and particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and …

The use of in situ equilibrium dialysis samplers (peepers) for the collection of sediment pore
waters for trace metal analysis is reviewed. Optimum peeper designs, construction and …
