Field testing a metal bioaccumulation model for zebra mussels

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the State University of New York used a kinetic model to predict the bioaccumulation of trace metals in zebra mussels. Results matched field measurements in the Hudson and Niagara Rivers and Lakes Erie and Ontario conducted by the NOAA Mussel Watch program.

The removal of ammonia from water by a hydrophobic catalyst

Article Abstract:

This experiment developed a process to get rid of ammonia in water by stripping ammonia from the aqueous phase. After that was the gas-phase oxidation of ammonia over a Pt/SDB hydrophobic catalyst. The study is broken down into an introduction, materials and methods used in the experiment, and results and a discussion of the study.

A predictive model of mercury fish tissue concentrations for the southeastern United States

Article Abstract:

Authors set out to develop a statistical model for estimating the concentration of Hg in fish tissue. Important factors for the estimation include the species, the location, fish weight, and water body pH. In the southeast United States, it was found that southeast Mississippi and central Arkansas have fish with high Hg concentrations.
