Sediment quality and impact assessment of pollutants [electronic resource] / edited by Damià Barceló and Mira Petrovic.

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 anal...
