Distribution of PCBs in sediment from different bottom types and water depths in Stockholm Archipelago, Baltic Sea
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that differences in organic matter properties in various marine sediments has little or no impact on the distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) within those sediments, and that redox conditions and bioturbation also have little effect. Data collected from the Stockholm Archipelago in the Baltic Sea demonstrate that the properties of PCB congeners are the factors which determine sedimentary distribution.

PCB levels in laminated coastal sediments of the Baltic Sea along gradients of eutrophication revealed by stable isotopes delta(15)N, delta(13)C
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that the Baltic Sea continues to receive polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and excess nutrients such as nitrogen and carbon from the Stockholm watershed in Sweden, but the watershed does not support dilution or enrichment of PCB congener and carbon ratios created by eutrophication.

Storm influence on the accumulation and lamination of sediments in deep areas of the northwestern Baltic proper
Article Abstract:
Research on the Baltic Sea indicates that storm frequency and severity may have implications on the use of sediment cores to obtain historical data. Resuspended sediment generated by storms significantly impact sediment accumulation.
