Procedures for Examining the Relationship Between Sediment Geochemistry and Biological Impacts of Contaminants

Abstract

This note describes the development of procedures for examining the relationship between sediment geochemistry and biological impacts of contaminants. These relationships are illustrated by implementation of procedures In a laboratory experiment to assess the influence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) contaminated sediment on bioaccumulation in estuarine clams.
