Trace elements (for example As, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Z, Cd and Pb) released by human activity are
ubiquitously detected in topsoil. They can be conveyed from the topsoil to the ecosystem …

Purpose Geochemical and mineralogical studies of soils potentially polluted by trace
elements are basic to find the source of pollution, to understand the behavior of the …

We assessed the degree to which Cd, Cr and Zn bound with sediment were assimilated by
the green mussel Perna viridis and the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. The …

pH, alkalinity, and mucus content in the fish gill microenvironment of carp (Cyprinus carpio)
were measured by exposing fish to copper at various water pH levels using an apparatus …

Risk assessment of soils polluted by potentially toxic trace elements generally is a complex
procedure that includes many variables and parameters, many of them difficult to assess …

The sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula have a key role in benthic
dynamics and they are often used to assess the toxicity of environmental contaminants. The …

Abstract In 1994, the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP) issued a
report on the fate and effects of constituents produced water in the marine environment …

Brown trout (Salmo trutta) from two native populations from the Røros area in Central
Norway, acclimated in mining‐affected habitats to different levels of Cd/Zn and Cu, together …

The importance of water Cl-concentration in mitigating the effects of sublethal waterborne
AgNO3 exposure on rainbow trout was studied to test the relationship between physiological …

This paper has been developed in support of an ongoing effort within the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to develop an integrated framework for metals risk assessment. In …
