Characterization of the Structural and Chemical Properties of Copper Chelators in Seawater

Abstract

The long-term goal is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of copper behavior in harbors, from a chemical and biological perspective. This means understanding the relationship between chemical transformations and biological effects for copper derived from natural and anthropogenic sources. Results can be used by dischargers, like the US Navy, and regulators, including the EPA and local agencies, to make informed decisions about managing Cu inputs into harbors and other receiving waters.
