Coastal Environment and Water Quality contains 41 papers in seven sections reflecting various aspects of coastal environment and water quality. Section 1 deals with coastal water pollution which has received considerable attention in recent decades. Section 2 looks at saltwater intrusion which is of fundamental importance for the management of coastal aquifers. Section 3 covers coastal water eutrophication. This subject takes on an added significance in light of growing hypoxia due to nutrient enrichment in the Gulf of Mexico. Section 4 deals with best management practices currently being employed for water quality management. Taken together, these first four sections constitute the building blocks for water quality modeling, which is the subject of Section 5. Extending this discussion further, Section 6 encompasses coastal ecology, wetlands and environment. In conclusion, Section 7 presents some of the impacts of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. ...

Description:
EOX in sediments from the two main Polish rivers (the Vistula and the Oder/Odra) as well as five lakes was assayed coulometrically and its values examined with respect to the location of the sample collection points. EOX values were found to increase near industrial areas and large urban agglomerations, although mean values-comparable for rivers and lakes-were similar to those recorded elsewhere. EOX tends to rise as TOC does so. On the other hand, the EOX:TOC ratio decreases sharply in the case of lakes, since TOC values there are roughly one order of magnitude higher than in rivers. Furthermore, the contents of selected polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides are directly related to EOX values. These relationships constitute a basis for the application of EOX as a parameter reflecting the level of organochlorine compounds in environmental quality evaluation. ... Read more
