Synopsis

Although sediment toxicity/bioaccumulation testing and environmental risk assessment originated together in the early 1980s, they have evolved separately. By critically evaluating existing approaches, this group of experts identifies principles and practices for sediment ecological risk assessments that are designed to improve the scientific and regulatory communities ability to assess environmental risks associated with contaminated sediments. The authors pinpoint critical applications and pertinent issues that address the evaluation of sediments as both a source and a sink for persistent aquatic contaminants.
