The Effects of Selected Aquatic Sediments on the Acute Toxicity of N- Nitrosodimethylamine to Gammarus Limnaeus

Abstract

This study was designed to provide information concerning the acute toxicity effects of N-nitrosodimethylamine to Gammarus limnaeus in the presence of two types of aquatic sediments. Analytical extraction techniques for the recovery of the N-nitrosodimethylamine from these sediments were developed. Recovery efficiencies of 69.6% and 91.3% were achieved. The nature of the sediments had a definite effect on the 96h continuous-flow CL50 value.
