Toxicity of Sediment Collected Upriver and Downriver of Major Cities along the Lower Mississippi River.
Entry ID:
usgs_brd_cerc_d_lower_Miss
Summary
Abstract:
The Lower Mississippi River contributes significantly to the biodiversity and
ecological stability of the alluvial valley, but agricultural, industrial and municipal developments have historically impacted the environmental quality of the river. Toxicity of sediment and sediment pore water was used to assess the current effects of major cities on sediment quality along the Lower Mississippi ...
