Effects of power station and abattoir on PAH input into sediments of Oji River: ecological and human health exposure risks.

abstract：:Aquatic ecosystems are fundamentally altered by nutrient enrichment, and effective monitoring tools are needed to detect biological responses especially in the early stages of eutrophication. We tested the utility of biological trait analysis (BTA) to quantify the temporal responses of nematodes inhabiting salt marsh ...
