This study was designed to assess the degree of metal contamination in a large midwestern
river. The river is utilized both by industries for manufacturing and waste disposal purposes …

Abstract Elevated levels of Ni, Cu, and Zn are present in surficial sediments of lakes in the
Sudbury region of northeastern Ontario. Metal concentrations in sediments were highest in …

To characterize the partitioning of metals in a stream ecosystem, concentrations of trace
metals including As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were measured in water, colloids, sediment, biofilm …

Concentrations of lead, zinc, nickel, and cadmium were low in streamwater samples
obtained quarterly over 1 year at three sites adjacent to highways of low to moderate traffic …

Metal concentrations were measured in selected fish and invertebrate species from Mugu
Lagoon, Malibu Lagoon and Ballona Wetlands in southern California in order to assess the …

Arsenic, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg, and Zn were measured in sediments, biofilm, benthic
macroinvertebrates, and fish from the Coeur d'Alene (CDA) River to characterize the …

Geochemical and biological processes involving metal pollutants in contaminated rivers,
lakes and dams are reviewed with particular emphasis on recent developments in the study …

The concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr, and Ni in sediment cores from five hard-water and
five soft-water lakes in Wisconsin were determined. Based on estimates of sedimentation …

Redear sunfish (Lepomis microlophus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), and
bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) were collected from stormwater ponds and natural …

Cadmium and lead were detected in all components of the stream that were examined.
Cadmium was present in similar concentrations in both fishes and sediments. Aquatic …
