Trace metal export in urban runoff and its biological significance
Journal Article
·
· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
The purpose of this study was to measure the levels of selected trace metals present in sediments of a stream draining an urban catchment and to determine the relationship of the trace metal concentrations in the sediment fractions to the trace metal concentrations available for uptake by the resident detritovores. Trace metal concentrations in detritus feeders are of interest as detritovores occupy a key position in stream food chains where the major source of fixed carbon is in the form of organic detritus.
