“…There are several parameters affecting the levels and biotoxicity of trace metals in sediments. It appeared that seasonal variations of biotoxicity in this study is attributed to two reasons including (1) industrial effluents which can cause great heavy metal pollution (De Jonge et al 2012a) and (2) floods and storms during rainy period that can lead to release back from insoluble metal sulfides in sediments to water (Prica et al 2008;Van Den Berg et al 1999).…”

“…Several researchers reported that CuS phases of AVS cannot be completely extracted with 1 M HCl, and this issue may possibly lead to underestimation in the AVS concentrations of sediment samples (De Jonge et al 2012a;Simpson et al 1998). So, for every 3 g of each wet sediment sample, 5 mL of 6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was used for extraction of AVS and SEM.…”

“…So, for every 3 g of each wet sediment sample, 5 mL of 6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was used for extraction of AVS and SEM. Ten milliliter sulfide antioxidant buffer (SAOB) solution that contained 0.2 M ascorbic acid, 2 M NaOH, and 0.2 M disodium EDTA was used to collect the volatile hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in which the free sulfur ion content was determined using an ion specific electrode (De Jonge et al 2012a;Van Griethuysen et al 2002). This electrode was calibrated with a 0.1 M Na 2 S solution diluted in SAOB, in a concentration range of 10 −4 -10 −2 M. This covers the range of AVS concentrations in the SAOB, liberated from the sediment samples.…”

“…In this condition, other components in sediment such as total organic compounds (TOCs) can also bind to free metal ions, which may decrease their bioavailability and, consequently, reduce their toxicity (Burton et al 2005;Ingersoll et al 2002;Spencer et al 2006). A modified AVS approach was suggested regarding the total organic carbon (TOC) in sediments (ƒ OC ), and it has been approved to be more appropriate than the previous approach (De Jonge et al 2010, 2012aKeene et al 2010;Zhuang and Gao 2013). Moreover, other researchers have demonstrated that AVS concentrations could have both spatial and seasonal changes, and this variation has been known as a problem in using AVS approach to evaluate metal bioavailability in sediments (Campana et al 2009;Oehm et al 1997;Poot et al 2007).…”

Sediment samples from the coastal area of Asaluyeh harbor were collected during autumn and spring 2015. The acidvolatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEMs) were measured to assess the sediment quality and potential ecological risks. The average concentrations (and relative standard deviation (RSD)) of AVS in the industrial sediments were 12.32 μmol/g (36.91) and 6.34 μmol/g (80.05) in autumn and spring, respectively, while in the urban area, these values were 0.44 μmol/g (123.50) and 0.31 μmol/g (160.0) in autumn and spring, respectively. The average concentrations of SEM (and RSD) in the industrial sediments were 15.02 μmol/g (14.38) and 12.34 μmol/g (20.65) in autumn and spring, respectively, while in the urban area, these values were 1.10 μmol/g (43.03) and 1.06 μmol/g (55.59) in autumn and spring, respectively. Zn was the predominant component (34.25-86.24 %) of SEM, while the corresponding value for Cd, much more toxic ingredient, was less than 1 %. Some of the coastal sediments in the harbor of Asaluyeh (20 and 47 % in autumn and spring, respectively) had expected adverse biological effects based on the suggested criterion by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), while most stations (80 and 53 % in autumn and spring, respectively) had uncertain adverse effects.

“…The SAOB solution contained 2 M NaOH, 0.2 M ascorbic acid and 0.2 M disodium EDTA, which was the same as that used by van Griethuysen et al (2002). The amount of free sulfur ions in SAOB buffer was measured with an ion specific electrode (van Griethuysen et al, 2002;De Jonge et al, 2012). Quality of AVS extraction was ensured by calibrating the procedure against known amounts of Na 2 SÁ9H 2 O (Durán et al, 2012), and recoveries were within 85-94%.…”

Assessment of heavy metal impact on sediment quality of the Xiaoqinghe estuary in the coastal Laizhou Bay, Bohai Sea: Inconsistency between two commonly used criteria

a b s t r a c tSurface sediments in the Xiaoqinghe estuary, southwestern coastal Laizhou Bay, were examined to assess the bio-toxic risk of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) with the effects range-low and effects rangemedian guidelines (ERL-ERMs) and the concentration ratio of simultaneously extractable metals to acid volatile sulfides ([SEM]/[AVS]). Based on the ERL-ERM guidelines, bio-toxic effect caused by Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn could be expected in the riverine surface sediments of the Xiaoqinghe estuary; and the surface sediments in the marine area were in good quality and only Ni might cause bio-toxic effect occasionally. The AVS-SEM guidelines revealed that no bio-toxic effect could be caused by any of the studied metals in both the riverine and marine sediments, since there were excess sulfides in surface sediments which could form water-insoluble substances with free metal ions and reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals.

Metals introduced to sediments undergo a variety of complexation and partitioning changes that affect metal bioavailability. Using simultaneously extracted metal (SEM)/acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and organic carbon (f(OC)) models, the authors examined nickel (Ni) toxicity and bioavailability in 2 field studies (using streamside mesocosm and in situ colonization) and 1 laboratory study. The streamside mesocosm experiments indicated that benthic communities (Ephemeroptera, abundance, and taxa richness) responded negatively to increasing SEM(Ni) /AVS and (SEM(Ni) -AVS)/f(OC) models. In the in situ colonization study, taxa richness, abundance, and Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) taxa decreased with increasing SEM(Ni) and SEM(Ni)/AVS values. Nickel-spiked sediments were tested in the laboratory with indigenous field-collected mayflies (Anthopotamus verticis, Isonychia spp., and Stenonema spp) and a beetle (Psephenus herricki), and with laboratory-cultured Hyalella azteca and Chironomus dilutus. The amphipod H. azteca was the most sensitive organism tested, and the mayflies Anthopotamus verticis and Stenonema spp. were the most sensitive indigenous organisms to Ni-spiked sediments. These studies help discern which factors are important in determining Ni toxicity and bioavailability at the individual, population, and community levels.
