Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10120608

This report briefly summerizes the following projects on hazardous materials in the aquatic environments of the Mississippi River Basin: Biotic and abiotic studies on the biological fate, transport and ecotoxicity of toxic and Hazardous waste in the Mississippi River Basin; The effect of depositional environment on the fate and transport of contaminants in aquatic environments;Assessment of mechanisms of metal-induced reproductive toxicity in aquatic species as biomarkers of exposure; Hazardous wastes in aquantic environments: biological uptake and metabolism studies; bioremediation of selected contaminants in aquatic environments of the Mississippi River Basin; Development of Novel dechlorination catalysts; pore-level flow, transport, agglomeration and reaction kinetics of microorganisms; novel polymer-semiconductor composits for photocatalytic destruction of organic contaminants in aqueous environments; biomarkers of exposure and ecotoxicity in the Mississippi River Basin; Natural and Active Chemical remediation cluster; collaborative research with the Institute of Radiological Problems (IREP) - fate and transport of radionuclides following the Chernobyl Accident; Exper geographical information systems for assessing hazardous wastes in aquatic environments; computation of Taylor Dispersion coefficient.
