| Summary |
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. * A broad overview on sediment quality and impact assessment of pollutants * Suitable for both newcomers to the field of sediment treatment and specialists alike * Outlines practical examples of methods used in sediment quality analysis |
| Notes |
The results of four workshops organized by the working group on quality and impact assessment of the SedNet (the European Sediment Research Network) EU funded project. The four workshops were: "Chemical Analysis and Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Sediments and Dredged Materials" held in Barcelona, on 28-30 November 2002; "Impact, Bioavailability and Assessment of Pollutants in Sediments and Dredged Materials Under Extreme Hydrological Conditions" held in Berlin on 3-5 April 2003; "Monitoring Sediment Quality at River Basin Scale, Understanding the Behaviour and Fate of Pollutants" held in Lisbon on 29-31 January, 2004; and "Towards Harmonization of Impact Assessment Tools for Sediment and Dredged Materials", held in San Sebastian, Spain on 10-11 June 2004 |
