Abstract:
... The eastern part of the Bay of Seine (English Channel) is highly impacted by harbour activities and the dumping of dredged sediment by the port authorities of Le Havre (GPMH) and Rouen (GPMR). Sediment dredged by the GPMH (2–2.5 millions of m³ per year) has been disposed at the subtidal Octeville site since 1947. Since the 2000s, mainly fine sediment (80% of fine particles <63 μm) has been dispose ...

Metal contamination is a threat for marine ecosystems from an environmental, economic and public health perspective, particularly in regions where local communities rely on marine resources such as the Gulf of Guinea. Plankton are the point of entry for metals in the marine food web, potentially contaminating seafood. We investigated the bioaccumulation of 12 metals in three size classes of plankt ...

Abstract:
... Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) are some of the most environmentally recalcitrant and toxic compounds. They occur naturally and as by-products of anthropogenic activity. Sydney Harbour Estuary (Sydney, Australia), is heavily contaminated with PCDD/F. Analysis of sediment cores revealed that the contamination source area in Homebush Bay continues to have one of the highest lev ...

Abstract:
... Granulated coal ash (GCA) is a strong in-situ capping material for removing PO₄-P and H₂S-S in contaminated coastal sediments. Although GCA performance is weakened by sediment deposition, related research is rare. To evaluate sediment deposition effects on PO₄-P and H₂S-S removal by GCA, GCA was placed on the top of sediment (C-GCA), was partially mixed with sediment (M-GCA), and was fully covered ...
