“…However, once the sediment is disturbed, the resuspended particle will enter into the overlying water and may release contaminants, resulting in HOC being bioavailable in the overlying water. Therefore, sediment resuspension would exert great influences on HOC concentrations and water quality in aquatic environments Friedman et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2015;Pusceddu et al, 2005;Superville et al, 2015).…”

“…It occurs when shear stress (friction of the water against the bottom) is high enough to move the surface sediment particles (Tengberg et al, 2003). Sediment resuspension event can be caused by waves (Ferré et al, 2008), storms (Siadatmousavi and Jose, 2015), currents (Ferré et al, 2008), dredging , trawling (Durrieu de Madron et al, 2005;Pusceddu et al, 2005), ship traffic (Superville et al, 2015), and the operation of water conservancy projects . All these factors, especially anthropogenic activities, often occur regularly, leading to recurrent resuspension-deposition of sediment.…”

“…Only some researchers suggested that the effect of quiescent time between resuspension events on HOC release was significant (Schneider et al, 2007;Superville et al, 2015). In addition, the previous research mainly focused on the effect of sediment resuspension on HOC concentrations in the overlying water.…”

a b s t r a c tTo investigate the effect of recurrent sediment resuspension-deposition events (RSRDEs) on bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aquatic environments, a modified device was used to simulate three resuspension-deposition events with the sediment collected from the Yellow River. The results showed that the dissolved organic carbon (DOC)-water distribution coefficients of PAHs decreased with time during the first resuspension-deposition period. It indicates that some PAHs associated with organic carbon (OC) in suspended sediment (SPS) desorbed with the release of OC and became DOC-associated PAHs in the overlying water, then the PAHs desorbed from the DOC and became freely dissolved. After first 2-h suspension, only 1.90% of phenanthrene, 2.98% of pyrene, and 0.33% of chrysene in the overlying water came from pore-water; at least 61.6%, 89.6%, and 95.3% came from DOC-associated PAHs in SPS and the rests were released from the insoluble OC in SPS. The maximum desorption ratios in the original sediment were 20%, 12%, and 14% for phenanthrene, pyrene, and chrysene, respectively during the first resuspension-deposition event. The SPS concentration followed the sequence of the third > second > first resuspension event. This was because RSRDEs changed the SPS particle size and enhanced floc formation. There was no significant difference in the total dissolved PAH concentrations among the three resuspension events, while their freely dissolved concentrations followed the sequence of the third > second > first resuspension event. During deposition periods, more than half of the total/freely dissolved PAHs released during suspension still existed in the overlying water after 70-h deposition. This study suggests that the RSRDEs will increase the bioavailability of PAHs in aquatic environments, especially near the sediment-water interface, and the potential effects of PAHs during RSRDEs on fish/human in rivers and lakes should be considered in future management.

“…When assessing the behaviour of trace metals and the potential role of sediment resuspensions in the contamination of the water column, Superville et al (2015) realized that during spring and summer, when bacterial activity is more important, the daily reduction of Fe(III) in the surface sediments promotes the weaker adsorption of Pb and Zn, and the concentrations are higher as a consequence. Which would justify the greater amounts of these metals in the study in question, considering that the same results occurred during those seasons.…”

The sediment compartment stands out because it functions as both a temporary sink of pollutants and a potential source of these elements that may become available to the water column.This study aimed to correlate the concentrations of total metals in the crude sediment and in the interstitial water with the ecotoxicity in the water column using an a modified sediment ecotoxicity test with Ceriodaphnia dubia. The results indicate that the sediment may contribute to the toxicity in the water column and that such toxicity is possibly not related to the metals present. Based on the chemical analysis of the metals, the Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs) would frame the sediment as non-toxic to benthic organisms, but the SQGs have no reference standards for possible effects on nektonic organisms. Due to the complexity of this compartment, it is fundamental to evaluate the interactions of the different pollutants in the system and possible effects on the nektonic organisms.

“…Biotic sources involve processes such as bioturbation/ bioirrigation (He et al 2017). Anthropogenic sources include inputs associated with discharges of domestic and industrial effluents, agricultural activities, and atmospheric deposition (Superville et al 2015;Wang et al 2015;Tzoraki et al 2015).…”

Depending on the environmental conditions, surface sediments can retain all the contaminants present and provide a record of the anthropic activities affecting the aquatic environment. In order to analyze the impacts on reservoirs, surface sediments were collected in three characteristic regions (riverine, transitional, and limnetic zones) of seven reservoirs in São Paulo State, Brazil. Analyses were made of grain size, organic matter (OM), total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN). Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) was used to determine pseudo-total and bioavailable metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, and Al). A Horiba probe was used to measure dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, redox potential (ORP), and temperature (Temp) in the bottom water. The data were analyzed using multivariate statistics. Enrichment factors (EF), pollution load index values (PLI), and background values (BG) were also determined in order to evaluate the potential toxicity. Intra-reservoir and inter-reservoir spatial heterogeneity (p < 0.05) were observed using two-way analysis of similarities. Principal component analysis indicated greater influence of metals in the Barra Bonita, Salto Grande, and Rio Grande reservoirs, corroborating the PLI, EF, and BG data. Bioavailable Cu was found in the Rio Grande reservoir, possibly associated with copper sulfate used to control algal blooms, while bioavailable Ni in the Barra Bonita reservoir was attributed to the presence of industrial wastes and natural geology. The bottom water conditions indicated that the metals remained in insoluble forms.
