Synopsis

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.
