A Plant Bioassay for Assessing Plant Uptake of Heavy Metals from Contaminated Freshwater Dredged Material

Abstract

The Decisionmaking Framework (DMF) developed by Peddicord et al. (1986) provides a framework for evaluating sediments before dredging. This framework is comprised of several modules one of which is the Plant Bioassay for materials proposed for upland or wetland placement. The purpose of this note Is to describe the methods and materials necessary to conduct such a plant bioassay.
