Contaminants of the Great Lakes by Jill Crossman,Chris Weisener Pdf

This book reviews the globally important freshwater resource of the Great Lakes, which is currently threatened by contaminants that compromise water quality and impact its ecological and economic health. Divided into four parts, this volume covers historic, current and emerging sources of contamination from heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants to microplastics; and identifies their ecological impacts. Due to factors ranging from rapidly changing land use practices, climate change and our emerging understanding of their impact on biological, chemical and physical interactions, the effectiveness of management strategies has proven highly variable. Continued enhancements in the rate of lake recovery are required to sustain the health of the Great Lakes. Accordingly, the book also explores recent advances in contaminant detection, along with future steps forward in lake management approaches. Revealing our current knowledge gaps and providing a roadmap towards sustainable solutions, the book offers a valuable asset for scientists, managers and the public alike.

Identifying and Assessing the Economic Benefits of Contaminated Aquatic Sediment Cleanup by Great Lakes Water Quality Board. Sediment Priority Action Committee,International Joint Commission Pdf

This paper is directed at generating a greater awareness of the potential economic benefits associated with aquatic sediment cleanup. After background on the rationale for economic valuation, part II reviews biophysical benefits of sediment remediation and identifies sectors that could receive economic benefits. Part III presents a classification of economic benefits in such categories as human health, commercial activities, ecosystem integrity, and economic development. Part IV describes benefit valuation methods, both direct & indirect, and benefits transfer. Part V discusses the challenges facing benefit valuation and the final part suggests necessary action steps relating to the economic benefits of sediment remediation.

Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Great Lakes by Ronald A. Hites Pdf

Pollution threatens the Laurentian Great Lakes and is a serious problem. This book examines what is known about the major classes of persistent toxic organic pollutants. Agricultural runoff, urban waste, industrial discharge, landfill leachate, and atmospheric deposition, are all to blame. Contamination of the various ecosystems is reviewed, and what is known about the effects of this pollution. This volume provides an invaluable resource for those in environmental research, measurements, and decision making concerning the Great Lakes.

Contaminated Rivers by Jerry R. Miller,Suzanne M. Orbock Miller Pdf

This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use.

Biological Remediation of Contaminated Sediments, with Special Emphasis on the Great Lakes by United States. Environmental Protection Agency. Office of Research and Development Pdf

These proceedings describe a workshop held July 17-19, 1990 in Manitowoc, WI, at which biological remediation of contaminated sediments was discussed. For the purpose of the workshop, contaminated sediments of primary interest were those within six of the Areas of Concern (AOC) identified by the U.S./Canada International Joint Commission's Great Lakes Water Quality Board; five of which are priority concerns of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediments (ARCS) program. The workshop was organized around four topic areas: (1) Overview of the Areas of Concern; (2) Biological degradataion of PCBs; (3) Biological degradation of PAHs; and (4) Biological treatment of metal species. For the first topic area, presentations were made describing site characteristic of the Ashtabula River, OH; Buffalo River, NY; Sheboygan River, WI; Grand Calumet River, IN; Saginaw River and Bay, MI; and Hamilton Harbor, Ontario, Canada. For the remaining topic areas, presentations were made by investigators actively involved in either bench, pilot, or full-scale studies concerning these areas. In this document extended abstracts written by the presenters are given, as well as brief summaries of the presentations and discussion sessions.
