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
- Outlines practical examples of methods used in sediment quality analysis
