Abstract

Many streams across North America have been modified or restored in order to stabilize channel banks and beds; however, the effects of stream restoration on fish assemblages and stream habitat are seldom monitored, evaluated, or published. Because the impacts on ecosystems are poorly understood, subsequent restoration projects cannot build upon known successes or failures.

A multi-disciplinary approach to the removal of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants in New York state (2003-2004)

Across the United States, there is a rapidly growing awareness of the occurrence and the toxicological impacts of natural and synthetic trace compounds in the environment. These trace compounds, referred to as emerging contaminants (ECs), are reported to cause a range of negative impacts in the environment, such as adverse effects on biota in receiving streams and interference with the normal functions of the endocrine system, which controls growth and development in living organisms.
