Development of Sediment Extracts for Rapid Assessment of Organic Contaminant Bioavailability

Abstract

This technical note describes the development of sediment extraction procedures for evaluating the bioaccumulation potential of non-polar organic contaminants from dredged material. Potential approaches are described and the experimental procedure of the sediment extraction approach for assessing bioavailability is outlined.
