Standard Guide for Determination of the Bioaccumulation of Sediment- Associated Contaminants by Benthic Invertebrates'
1.1 This guide covers procedures for measuring the bioac,cumulation of sediment-associatid contaminants by infaunal .invertebrates. Marine, estuarine, and freshwater sediments are a major sink for chemicals that sorb preferentially to particles, 'such as organic compounds with high octanol-waterpartitioning coefficients (KO,) (for example, polychlorinated ,biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenylt...
متن کاملBenthic Invertebrate Bioturbation Activity Determines Species Specific Sensitivity to Sediment Contamination
Bioturbation activity of sediment-dwelling organisms promotes the release of contaminants across the benthic-pelagic ecosystem boundary, thereby affecting the exposure to and uptake of sediment associated contaminants at the sediment-water interface by themselves and the entire community around them. This way, bioturbation activity may contribute to species specific sensitivities to sediment as...
متن کاملChemical and biological availability of sediment-sorbed benzo[a]pyrene and hexachlorobiphenyl.
This study examined the chemical and biological availability of two nonpolar organic compounds, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP), from a spiked sediment that was aged for varying amounts of time. Chemical availability was evaluated using four different solvent combinations to extract chemicals from the sediment. The extractability of BaP and HCBP from sediment using traditiona...
متن کاملSlow avoidance response to contaminated sediments elicits sublethal toxicity to benthic invertebrates.
Advanced analytical techniques have identified the heterogeneity of sediments in aquatic environments which may impact the exposure of benthic organisms to contaminants. Acute and chronic toxicity associated with short, intermittent exposure to four field-collected contaminated sediments were assessed for the epi-benthic amphipod Melita plumulosa and the harpacticoid copepod Nitocra spinipes. I...
متن کاملBioavailability of sedimentary metals from a contaminated bay
Sediments are considered the sink for metals in aquatic environments because of their strong metal-binding capacity, but they are a potential source for metal ingestion by marine benthic animals as well. Sediment contamination is now a major environmental problem in many countries, including China. This study examines the bioavailability to a marine suspension-feeder (the clam Mactra veneriform...
