Soil, sand, and minerals eroded from land by water or air Sediments settle to the bottom of surface water
particles and/or clumps of particles of sand, clay, silt, and plant or animal matter carried in water
Soil, sand, and minerals washed from land into water, usually after rain They pile up in reser- voirs, rivers and harbors, destroying fish and wildlife habitat, and clouding the water so that sunlight can- not reach aquatic plants Careless farming, mining, and building activities will expose sediment materials, allowing them to wash off the land after rainfall

These are coarse, bitter particles and deposits that are sometimes found in bottles Most often sediments are found in older vintages of red wines, though rarely in whites They are tartrates, tannins, and grape color pigments that settle naturally as the wine ages
are solid foreign bodies and toluene-insoluble parts of heating oils Sediments can, especially in the presence of water, form sludgy residues that block up filters and nozzles According to DIN 51603 the limit for sediments in heating oil EL is max 0 05 mass percent The sediment content in heating oil storage tanks can rise over time (ageing)
