Sediment pollution and accumulation in harbours are major
environmental issues and studies that advance their solutions are
essential for harbour sustainability. This book provides the first
comprehensive assessment of chemical pollution in sediments and
sediment accumulation rates in the tropical Tema Harbour (Ghana).
This book contributes to improving our ability to use an integrated
approach involving sediment chemistry and bioassays in one
comprehensive assessment of the contamination state of a tropical
coastal environment. Whole-sediment toxicity bioassays using the
amphipod Corophium volutator and the polychaete Hediste
diversicolor as bioindicators were combined with data on
concentrations of total metal and metal binding forms,
radionuclides, organochlorine pesticides and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons in bottom sediments as well as total metal
concentrations in settling silt-clay particles collected by
sediment traps to characterise the hazard, risk and impact of
sediments from the tropical coastal Tema Harbour.
