Abstract

Volume 1 of the Sustainable Management of Sediment Resources mini-series is the first attempt to fill many of these gaps in knowledge and also in practice. The volume includes sections on:

  • Sampling
  • Characterization of contaminants in sediments being bioavailability the main issue
  • Chemical analysis
  • Biological analysis
  • Effect directed analysis and toxicity
  • Identification evaluation 
  • Benthos sediment quality assessment
  • Modelling of pollutant fate and behaviour
  • Sediment quality guidelines

This first volume is applicable to a wide audience, from students at the graduate level, to experienced researchers and laboratory personnel in academia, industry and government. This volume also available as part of a 4-volume set, ISBN 0444519599. Discount price for set purchase.

  • A broad overview on sediment quality and impact assessment of pollutants
  • Suitable for both newcomers to the field of sediment treatment and specialists alike
