- W44805955 abstract "Wetlands have attracted attention as potential components of waste treatment systems because of typically large plant production, high decomposer activity, anaerobic condition and large adsorptive areas in the sediments. These properties seem to provide wetlands with the ability to degrade and eliminate contaminants in waste waters. The effluent-properties of a variety of wetland habitats in very diverse parts of the world (salt and brackish marshes, polders, cypress, papyrus and mangrove swamps, freshwater marshes and bogs) have been studied. Although each habitat type differs, current results from marshes show that nitrogenous and phosphorus nutrients are removed from contaminated or waste waters. Heavy metals from sludges are retained by marsh muds, but the effectiveness varies considerably for different metals. Petroleum hydrocarbons accumulate in marsh muds and may be actively decomposed, particularly at lower levels of contamination. Chlorinated hydrocarbons have high affinities for marsh sediments and can be altered by microorganismal activity. There is preliminary evidence that counts of coliform bacteria may be reduced in tidal water that floods marshes. The waste-processing ability of coastal wetlands must have an upper threshold. Little is known about these upper limits but studies in chronically contaminated sites show that marshlands function well even in severely polluted areas." @default.
