“…The interpretation of the relationship between AEI and EF can be very different from one element to another. Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012) found an adverse effect for Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn for different values of enrichment factor ( 6, 1, 1 and 2 respectively). EFs calculated were different in this study because Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012) use Fe as internal reference.…”

“…AEI values were calculated as suggested by Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012), using the equation outlined in Table 1 (in his article, he used ERL instead of TEL to calculate the AEI). The Threshold Effect Levels (TELs) used in the calculation of AEI values were derived by Long et al (1995).…”

“…The Threshold Effect Levels (TELs) used in the calculation of AEI values were derived by Long et al (1995). According to Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012), if AEI 6 1 the metal concentration in the sample is not high enough to produce adverse effects in biota, however if AEIP1 the metal concentration in the sample could produce adverse effects.…”

“…Calculated enrichment factors cannot be used to evaluate the probability of adverse effects on benthic biota. In the absence of toxicity studies, Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012) suggest that element concentrations can be compared with Threshold Effect Level (TEL) sediment quality guidelines (SQG) developed by Long et al (1995) in order to assess an Adverse Effect Index (AEI). TEL SQGs were developed in order to interpret metal concentrations in sediments in the context of their potential biological effect.…”

(H. Hamdoun). Ab s t r a c tFor a full assessment of the environmental risk posed by dredged sediments not only the anthropogenic enrichment of contaminants, but also their mobility and biological impact should be considered. This study reports on the enrichment factor (EF), mobility, and Adverse Effect Index (AEI) of metals and metalloids in nine dredged sediments. Significant enrichment of As, Cd, Pb and Zn with respect to background values is detected, and calculated AEI values for these elements suggest that it is possible that a corresponding biological effect may be observed. Correlation coefficients also reveal a link between mobility in HCl and enrichment for Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn, however As and Cu do not display such a link, possibly suggesting that the source of contamination for these elements is less recent. Mobility and enrichment are two parameters which are often studied separately; however this paper shows that in some cases strong correlations occur.

“…Among them, the threshold effects level (TEL) has been proved to be an effective sediment quality standard (Long et al 2000;Sundaray et al 2011). Muñoz-Barbosa et al (2012) suggested comparing the measured level of the element with its corresponding TEL value to assess the adverse effect index (AEI), which is expressed as:…”

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is one of the world's largest water diversion projects, benefiting seven million people in China. The Zaozhuang section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is an important part of this project. This paper investigated the enrichment, biological effect, and mobility of beryllium (Be) in surface sediments of the Zaozhuang section. Results showed that high values were found in Tai'erzhuang District, Zaozhuang city, and the areas near the inlet of the Nansihu Lake, which might have been influenced by local human activities including metallurgy, burning of fossil fuels, and transportation. Four geochemical fractions of Be were obtained: acid-soluble fraction, reducible fraction, oxidizable fraction, and residual fraction. The nonresidual fractions (the sum of the first three) accounted for 72.5 ∼ 96.1 % of the total amount of Be. Acid-soluble fraction might be mainly influenced by human activities, with the strongest mobility and bio-availability, accounting for 4.1 ∼ 44.7 % of the total amount, with an average of 20.2 %. Enrichment factor (EF) showed minor to moderate enrichment in some regions; adverse effect index (AEI) also showed that there were high levels of Be in some regions, which might have negative impacts on organisms. Generally, mobility, EF,
