Application and Interpretation of Bioassay and Biomonitoring
Abstract
The purpose of this final report is to supplement earlier toxicity tests exposing Eisenia foetida to Aroclor 1254 PCB. The data provided in this report are from three related studies: relationship of PCB exposure to reproductive success, rate of PCB bioaccumulation by Eisenia in artificial soil and rate of PCB bioaccululation by Eisenia placed in naturally-occuring PCB contaminated soils. Conclusions reached from the results of these experiments will be used to enhance the predictive capabilities of bioassay and field bioassessment procedures that are currently being applied to dredged material and contaminated soils. Keywords: Polybiphenyl chloride; Biological absorption; Netherlands; Reports.
