Description
This text is a result of a research project on the environmental behaviour of sediments. It represents the study of chemical and biological interactions of toxicants in sediments. The volume aims to provide insights into the actual international state of sediment quality assessment and discusses various chemical as well as biological approaches to sediment toxicity. The understanding of interactionsof toxic substances in sediments and of conditions controlling mobilization, transfer and bioavailability can be used to predict environmental fates and effects of chemicals. The text aims to provide information to governmental administrations, technical advisers and research institutions dealing with the management of contaminated sediments.
