Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of adverse biological effects within ranges of chemical concentrations in marine and estuarine sediments
TL;DR: In this article, matching biological and chemical data were compiled from numerous modeling, laboratory, and field studies performed in marine and estuarine sediments, and two guideline values (an effects range low and an effects range median) were determined for nine trace metals, total PCBs, two pesticides, 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and three classes of PAHs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of consensus-based sediment quality guidelines for freshwater ecosystems.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the consensus-based SQGs provide a reliable basis for assessing sediment quality conditions in freshwater ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of sediment quality guidelines for Florida coastal waters.
TL;DR: The weight-of-evidence approach to the development of sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) was modified to support the derivation of biological effects-based SQGs for Florida coastal waters, which were demonstrated to provide practical, reliable and predictive tools for assessing sediment quality.
Methods for measuring the toxicity and bioaccumulation of sediment-associated contaminants with freshwater invertebrates
Christopher G. Ingersoll,Gerald T. Ankley,G.A. Burton,F.J. Dwyer,Robert A. Hoke,Teresa J. Norberg-King,P. V. Winger +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe protocols for testing freshwater organisms in the laboratory to evaluate the toxicity or bioaccumulation of contaminants associated with whole sediments, including the amphipod Hyalella azteca and midge Chironomus tentans.

Laboratory sediment toxicity tests, sediment chemistry and distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates in sediments from the keweenaw waterway, michigan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted laboratory sediment toxicity tests using the water flea Daphnia magna and the burrowing mayfly nymph Hexagenia limbata on sediments from two areas of the Keweenaw Waterway, Michigan, to determine whether the tests reflected the condition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities.

Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls and metals from contaminated sediment by freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and clams, Corbicula fluminea.
TL;DR: Freshwater prawns,Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and clams,Corbicula fluminea, were exposed for 48 or 50 days to three concentrations of a river sediment that contained environmental contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Sediment Copper on the Distribution of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in the Keweenaw Waterway
TL;DR: Benthic macroinvertebrates, sediment copper, and sediment particle size were examined in two areas of the Keweenaw Waterway as mentioned in this paper, and the number of invertebrates was 4.3 times greater in the south than the north.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of oilfield brine effluent on sediments and benthic organisms in trinity bay, Texas
TL;DR: In this paper, field studies have established the concentrations of naphthalenes in bay sediments and water in the vicinity of an oil separator platform and their effects on the benthic fauna.
