Abstract

The paper explains the numerical modelling efforts undertaken in order to study possible marine biological impacts caused by releases of produced water from the Haltenbanken area outside the western coast of Norway. Acute effects on marine life from releases of produced water appear to be relatively small and confined to areas rather lose to the release site. Biomagnification may however be experienced for relatively low concentrations at larger distances from the release point. Such effects can he modeled by performing a step-wise approach which includes: The use of 3-D hydrodynamic models to determine the ocean current fields; The use of 3-D multi-source numerical models to determine the concentration fields from the produced water releases, given the current field; and The use of biologic models to simulate the behavior of and larvae (passive marine biota) and fish (active marine biota) and their interaction with the concentration field. The paper explains the experiences gained by using this approach for the calculation of possible influences on marine life below the EC{sub 50} or LC{sub 50} concentration levels. The models are used for simulating concentration fields from 5 simultaneous sources at the Haltenbank area and simulation of magnification in some marine species from 2more »« less

Mercury speciation, bioavailability, and biomagnification in contaminated streams on the Savannah River Site (SC, USA)

Journal Article Xu, Xiaoyu; Bryan, Albert; Mills, Gary; ... - Science of the Total Environment

Water, sediment, and biota from two streams on the Savannah River Site were sampled to study mercury (Hg) biogeochemistry. Total and methyl-Hg (MHg) concentrations were measured for all samples, speciation models were used to explore Hg speciation in the water, and Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films (DGT) were applied to indicate the vertical profiles of labile Hg (DGT-Hg). Trophic position (δ¹⁵N) was estimated for biota and used to establish MHg biomagnification model. Furthermore, the speciation model indicated Hg methylation in the water occurred on settling particles and the most bioavailable Hg species to bacteria were complexes of inorganic Hg andmore »« less

Inter-comparison of dynamic models for radionuclide transfer to marine biota in a Fukushima accident scenario

Journal Article Vives i Batlle, J.; Beresford, N.; Beaugelin-Seiller, K.; ... - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity

We report an inter-comparison of eight models designed to predict the radiological exposure of radionuclides in marine biota. The models were required to simulate dynamically the uptake and turnover of radionuclides by marine organisms. Model predictions of radionuclide uptake and turnover using kinetic calculations based on biological half-life (TB1/2) and/or more complex metabolic modelling approaches were used to predict activity concentrations and, consequently, dose rates of 90Sr, 131I and 137Cs to fish, crustaceans, macroalgae and molluscs under circumstances where the water concentrations are changing with time. For comparison, the ERICA Tool, a model commonly used in environmental assessment, and whichmore »« less

Synthesis, pathways, effects, and fate of chlorination by-products in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Annual report, September 10, 1976--September 30, 1977

Technical Report Anderson, D; Bean, R; Gibson, C; ...

The study is composed of analytical chemistry and biological divisions with freshwater and marine biological subdivisions. The objective of the analytical phase is to identify those chemical compounds, other than the free and combined available halogen, which result from the addition of chlorine to fresh or saltwater. The objectives of the biological studies are to investigate the immediate and relatively long-term toxicity of several chlorination by-products to selected aquatic biota; to follow their pathways of action; and to analyze for bioaccumulation or biomagnification. Initial analytical experimentation has been directed toward isolating and identifying nonpolar, lipophylic organohalogens that might be expectedmore »« less

Field study estimates of biomagnification factors at Rocky Mountain Arsenal for Superfund ecological risk assessment

Conference Henningsen, G

Terrestrial wildlife at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) are exposed to bioaccumulative contaminants in soil. The exposure assessment and risk characterization require estimates of biomagnification factors (BMFS) in a food-web model to predict intake and toxicity risks to predatory birds of concern. Estimated BMFs derived from existing field data have excessive uncertainty (EPA`s opinion), due to patchy distribution and highly variable amounts of contamination, diverse wildlife sampling in areas with relatively low contamination, and reporting limits (CRLS) exceeding risk levels of concern. Positive findings in biota were typically too infrequent to make meaningful estimates of contamination distributions or of BMFS. Formore »« less
Biomagnification of polychlorinated biphenyls through a riverine food web

Journal Article Zaranko, D; Kaushik, N; Griffiths, R - Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

From 1989 to 1993, biota collected from Pottersburg Creek, London, ON, Canada were analyzed for total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lipids. Data were analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with lipid as the covariate, to investigate station, time, and trophic effects on PCB accumulation in aquatic organisms. All three variables were highly significant. PCB concentrations in biota decreased along the length of the creek away from the point source. PCB concentrations in biota collected in July 1993 were not significantly different from concentrations in biota collected in July 1990, suggesting that sources into the creek have not been alleviated.
