Geochemical partitioning of Cu and Ni in mangrove sediments: Relationships with their bioavailability
(Elsevier, 2015)
Sequential extraction study was performed to determine the concentrations of non-residual metal-complexes in the mangrove sediments from the Divar Island, (west coast of India). Accumulation of metal in the mangrove roots ...
Lead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India
(Elsevier, 2015)
This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published ...
Linkage between speciation of Cd in mangrove sediment and its bioaccumulation in total soft tissue of oyster from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
This study established a mechanistic linkage between Cd speciation and bioavailability in mangrove system from the west coast of India. High bioaccumulation of Cd was found in the oyster (Crassostrea sp.) even at low Cd ...
Partitioning of metals in different binding phases of tropical estuarine sediments: importance of metal chemistry
(Springer, 2016)
Distribution of metals in different binding phases of estuarine sediments provides chemically significant description of metal–sediment interactions. This study describes the influences of ligand field stabilization energy ...
Relationship between the lability of sediment-bound Cd and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster
(Elsevier, 2015)
A linkage between Cd speciation in sediments and its bioaccumulation in edible oyster (Crassostrea sp.) from a tropical estuarine system was established. Bioaccumulation of Cd in edible oyster increased with the increasing ...
Geochemical fractionation of Ni, Cu and Pb in the deep sea sediments from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: An insight into the mechanism of metal enrichment in sediment
(Elsevier, 2016)
Metal speciation study in combination with major element chemistry of deep sea sediments provided possible metal enrichment pathways in sediments collected from environmentally different locations of Central Indian Ocean ...
Distribution and nature of sedimentary organic matter in a tropical estuary: An indicator of human intervention on environment
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sediment texture controls the spatial distribution of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) in the Vembanad Lake. Influences of marine derived organic matter (OM) on SOM decreased inner-wards in the northern part of the lake. ...
Mercury profiles in sediment from the marginal high of Arabian Sea: An indicator of increasing anthropogenic Hg input
(Springer, 2016)
Total Hg distributions and its speciation were determined in two sediment cores collected from the western continental marginal high of India. Total Hg content in the sediment was found to gradually increase (by approximately ...
Organic matter - A key factor in controlling mercury distribution in estuarine sediment
(Elsevier, 2015)
Organic matter (OM) was found to play an important role in controlling mercury (Hg) distribution and speciation in estuarine sediment of the Vembanad Lake. The sedimentary organic carbon (OC) from the northern part of the ...
Distribution, provenance and early diagenesis of major and trace metals in sediment cores from the Mandovi estuary, western India
(Elsevier, 2016)
Major elements and trace metals were analyzed in four sediment cores recovered along a transect in the Mandovi estuary for their distribution, provenance and early diagenesis. The sediments were clayey silts in cores from ...
