Sediments are increasingly recognized as both a carrier and a
possible source of contaminants in aquatic systems, and they may
also affect groundwater quality and agricultural products when
disposed on land. Four aspects are covered reflecting the
development of knowledge in particle-associated pollutants during
the past twenty-five years: - the identification, surveillance,
monitoring and control of sources and distribution of pollutants, -
the evaluation of solid/solution relations of contaminants in
surface waters, - the study of in-situ processes and mechanisms of
pollutant transfer in various compartments of the aquatic
ecosystems, - the assessment of the environmental impact of
particle-bound contaminants, i.e. the development of sediment
quality criteria. A final chapter focusses on practical aspects
concerning contaminated sediments.
