“…It is known that autochthonous processes within the river channel are capable of retaining nutrients [64] and metals [65]. Indeed, with a rather low annual runoff of the WSL rivers, sizeable retention of dissolved N, P, Si, Fe, Mn, and Al by oxyhydroxides and Si by coastal grass and diatoms in the river may occur.…”

“…The Bílina River is an important source of PAHs, xenoestrogens (e.g. Bisphenol A), organochlorine compounds (Stachel et al 2005;Heemken et al 2001), DDT (Heinisch et al 2005a), and heavy metals (Vink et al 1999). As a result, the Elbe River is considered an important source of contaminants from anthropogenic sources, for example, xenoestrogens, discharging into the North Sea (Stachel et al 2003;Heemken et al 2001).…”

To assess the long-term anthropogenic load of the Bílina River (Czech Republic), the concentrations of heavy metals and specific organic compounds in different river ecosystem matrices (water, biofilms, and sediments) were determined. Although the current concentrations of pollutants in surface water are low, frequently below the limits of the quantitative analytical methods used, the river ecosystem is still heavily loaded by anthropogenic pollution, mainly from the chemical and mining industries. This was demonstrated by analyzing biofilms and sediments. These matrices are more accurate representatives of the actual situation in the river and do not depend on hydrological conditions or random variability in water quality. The results indicate that the middle and the lower parts of the river are heavily polluted by mercury, arsenic, vanadium, polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene, and dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. As a tributary of the Elbe River, the Bílina River represents a significant risk for the development of quality in this major European river.

“…A Herschel study adds to that 0.075 M of cold dust mass interior to the reverse shock (Barlow et al 2010). The total dust mass ( 0.1 M ) should be compared to the estimated total ejected mass of 2-4 M , much of this in the form of oxygen ( 2 M ) which will not condense (Willingale et al 2002, Vink et al 1996. In analogy to the well-studied type IIb SN 1993J, some 0.6 M of condensible elements (C, Mg, Si, S & Fe) were ejected during the SN explosion of Cas A (Thielemann et al 1996), corresponding to a very high dust formation efficiency of ∼ 0.2.…”

Abstract. The characteristics of interstellar dust reflect a complex interplay between stellar injection of stardust, destruction in the ISM, and regrowth in clouds. Astronomical observations and analysis of stardust isolated from meteorites have revealed a highly diverse interstellar and circumstellar grain inventory, including both amorphous materials and highly crystalline compounds (silicates and carbon). This review summarizes this dust budget and inventory. Interstellar dust is highly processed during its sojourn from its birthsite (stellar ejecta) to its incorporation into protoplanetary systems. Processing by strong shocks due to supernova explosions is particularly important. Sputtering by impacting gas ions in shocks in the intercloud medium of the ISM is counteracted by accretion in cloud phases and their balance sets the observed, interstellar, elemental depletion patterns. Astronomical and meteoritical-stardust evidence for these processes is reviewed and it is concluded that dust formation in the ISM is very rapid. Not surprisingly, the characteristics of interstellar dust are expected to vary widely reflecting local stellar sources, the effects of SNe processing, and the interstellar accretion process.
