Biological effects of toxic contaminants in sediments from Long Island Sound and environs
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution and severity of toxicity and relationships between toxicity and chemical contamination in the sediments in Long Island Sound was determined using three independent protocols: (1) amphipod survival, (2) survival and development of clam larvae, and (3) a microbial bioluminescence.

Effects of contaminated sediments on viability, length, DNA and protein content of larval surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus
TL;DR: It is suggested that measurement of DNA content in conjunction with determination of the proportion of normal larval surf smelt can provide better discrimination for assessing toxicity due to contaminants in this sediment bioassay system than measurement of mortality alone.

TL;DR: The final list of water bodies that EPA is adding to California's list of limited segments still requiring a TMDL includes all the water bodies and associated pollutants identified in EPA's November 12,2010 letter, with the exception of San Joaquin River (Mendota Pool to Bear Creek) for electrical conductivity.

4.09 – Indicators of Anthropogenic Change and Biological Risk in Coastal Aquatic Environments
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of indicators covering biological, chemical, and physical realms is required for effective management and to ensure sustainability of highly sensitive regional assets in the coastal environment, which need to be easily and inexpensively measured, be free of anthropogenic temporal and spatial influence, and have low natural variance.

Mercury Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
TL;DR: A review of the available literature on the ecological and toxicological aspects of mercury (Hg) in the environment, with special reference to fish and wildlife resources, is reviewed and summarized in this paper.

Selenium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
TL;DR: A review of the environmental and toxicological aspects of selenium in the environment is presented in this paper, including its chemistry, background residues in biological and other materials, and toxic, sub-lethal, and latent effects (including the effects of Se deficiency).
Journal ArticleDOI
Current approaches to developing sediment quality criteria
TL;DR: It is concluded that, for chemical-by-chemical criteria, the equilibrium partitioning method shows promise; for criteria that are also applicable to chemical mixtures, the apparent effects threshold/sediment quality triad approaches appear to be most appropriate.
