Enrichments of Metals, Including Methylmercury, in Sewage Spills in South Carolina, USA

Creator:

Emmons, Alison M., Bizimis, Michael, Lang, Susan Q., Stangler, William, Geidel, Gwendelyn, Baalousha, Mohammed, Wanamaker, Emma, and Rothenberg, Sarah E.

Abstract:

Exposure to microbial pathogens is the primary concern of sanitary sewer overflows; however, sewage spills may also be a significant source of toxic metals, including methylmercury (MeHg). Between November 2015 and January 2017, after Hurricane Joaquin, surface water samples were collected routinely from three creeks in Columbia, SC. Routine sampling...

Low-tide rainfall effects on metal content of suspended sediment in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

Creator:

Moskalski, Susanne M., Torres, Raymond, Bizimis, Michael, Goni, Miguel, Bergamaschi, Brian, and Fleck, Jacob

Abstract:

Rain falling at or near low tide is capable of eroding and transporting cohesive sediment from intertidal areas. Given that metals adsorb strongly to silt- and clay-sized particles, it is conceivable that low-tide rainfall may also liberate previously-deposited metals from storage in intertidal sediment. To investigate the potential for rainfall...
