Freshwater suspended particulate matter—Key components and processes in floc formation and dynamics
2022, Water ResearchCitation Excerpt :SPM can as well act as vector for contaminants. Due to its physicochemical properties, it accumulates various dissolved organic (Guo et al., 2007; He et al., 2006; Patrolecco et al., 2010; Pohlert et al., 2011) and inorganic contaminants (Adamiec and Helios-Rybicka, 2002; Brugmann, 1995; Juracic et al., 1986; Vidmar et al., 2017) and governs their mobility, bioavailability, and accumulation. More recently, SPM interactions with particulate contaminants like engineered nanoparticles, micro-/nanoplastics, tire/break/road wear or soot received increased attention, as SPM can govern their fate (e.g. Li et al., 2019; Oriekhova and Stoll, 2018; Praetorius et al., 2014; Sigmund et al., 2018; Surette and Nason, 2019; Wagner et al., 2018).
Trace elements in the estuarine systems of the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea): A chemometric approach to depict partitioning and behaviour of particulate, colloidal and truly dissolved fractions
2020, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :Regarding the easternmost sector of the northern Adriatic Sea, the main freshwater input is represented by the Isonzo/Soča River followed by the Timavo/Reka River (Cozzi et al., 2012) whereas lower contributions come from the Rižana and Dragonja Rivers, located along the Slovenian coast. The role of SPM as the primary carrier of trace elements was investigated at the Po, Adige and Isonzo Rivers (Juračić et al., 1986, 1987; Juračić and Pravdić, 1991; Covelli et al., 2007; Pavoni et al., submitted), whereas few studies have examined the potential release of trace elements in the aqueous phase (Tankéré and Statham, 1996; Tankéré et al., 2000a; Zago et al., 2002; Pavoni et al., submitted) or their association with colloids (Koron et al., 2013; Klun et al., 2019). This research aims to assess trace element occurrence and phase partitioning among SPM, colloids and the truly dissolved fraction in the main Italian and Slovenian estuarine environments of the Gulf of Trieste, since these issues have not been thoroughly addressed.
A review of hydrological and chemical stressors in the Adige catchment and its ecological status
2016, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :An overview of the literature describing inorganic pollutants within the Adige catchment is provided in Table 1, while in the Supporting Information measured concentrations and sampling locations are also provided. Metals and heavy metals have been monitored in the Adige estuary by Juračić et al. (1986) and Juračić et al. (1987). Presence of Ni, Cd, Zn and As has been also reported for the upper part of the catchment, while Cr, Pb and Hg have never been detected (Provincia autonoma di Bolzano, 2006).
