Burlington, Ont. : National Water Research Institute, [1998] [147] p. : charts. NWRI contribution ; 98-232 Digitized edition from print [produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada]. Includes bibliographical references. "Sediments play an important role in the physical movement, chemical partitioning and biological fate of metals, organics and nutrients (Allan 1986). Such contaminants are often closely associated with both suspended solids and bottom sedirnents. Furthermore, many chlorinated organic contaminants have a low solubility in water and, thus, concentrations associated with particles of sediment are often several orders of magnitude higher than those in water (Golterman et al. 1983)"--Introd.
