Release of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel and zinc by sewage sludge and the subsequent uptake by members of a turtle grass (thalassia testudinum) ecosystem

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7324099
The rates of uptake by a turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum) ecosystem of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn which were leached from sewage sludge by seawater were determined. The experimental design used aerated flowing seawater (8.4l min/sup -1/), which passed over a 0.1 m/sup 3/ bed of sewage sludge before traversing the model ecosystem.
