Chemical Availability of Cadmium in Mississippi River Sediment
Abstract
There is concern that changes in the physicochemical conditions occurring during dredging and disposal of polluted sediments may increase chemical mobility and hence bioavailability of sediment‐bound toxicants such as Cd. The objectives of this research were to study the chemical transformations of Cd in freshwater sediment as affected by pH and redox potential under controlled laboratory conditions and predict Cd behavior during dredging and disposal of Cd‐contaminated sediments.
