dc.description.abstractThis research follows from previous work that has demonstrated that suitable sorbent amendments to sediments can lead to contaminant sequestration and reduction of contaminant bioavailability for in-situ management of impacted sites. The primary objective of this research was to test a range of available biochars and especially formulated biochars that can reduce the bioavailability and leaching of toxic chemicals like PAHs, PCBs, DDTs, mercury and methylmercury in sediments.
dc.description.sponsorshipWe would like to thank SERDP for providing financial support for this project. We would also like to thank Cynthia Gilmour and Georgia Riedel at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre (SERC) for their help with the low concentration mercury and methylmercury analysis
