Evaluierung einer interdisziplinären Methodik zur hydrotoxikologischen Bewertung schadstoffbehafteter Sedimente nach Resuspensionsereignissen

This German study evaluated interdisciplinary methods for assessing the ecotoxicological risk of contaminated sediments when they are disturbed and resuspended into the water column during flood events. The research helps implement European Water Framework Directive requirements for assessing how sediment-bound pollutants affect water quality.

Assessment of ecological risk for ecosystems caused by dredged materials in freshwater environments

Researchers assessed ecological risks posed by chemical contaminants in dredged freshwater sediments, evaluating metals, organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants including microplastics across multiple risk metrics to inform safe disposal and management decisions.

A case study on microlitter and chemical contaminants: Assessing biological effects in the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland (Baltic sea) using the mussel Mytilus trossulus as a bioindicator

Researchers used mussels as bioindicators to assess chemical and microplastic pollution across three Estonian Baltic Sea coastal sites, finding that cadmium and polybrominated diphenyl ethers exceeded environmental thresholds at all sites, acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited at the most contaminated harbour, and natural cellulose microfibers outnumbered synthetic microplastics in mussel tissues.
