Characterization of Dissolved Organic Matter and Reduced Sulfur in Coastal Marine and Estuarine Environments: Implications for Protective Effects on Acute Copper Toxicity
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-13)Copper-induced toxicity in aqueous systems depends on its speciation and bioavailability. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and reduced sulfur species can complex copper, influencing speciation and decreasing bioavailability. ... -
Mercury dynamics in the anadromous Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and food webs of inner Frobisher Bay, Nunavut
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-06)Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic metal that bioaccumulates in organisms and biomagnifies in food webs. Evaluating Hg bioaccumulation and biomagnification in Arctic marine ecosystems is critical for understanding Hg ...
