## Abstract Two models, a Σpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model based on equilibrium partitioning theory and a logistic‐regression model, were developed and evaluated to predict sediment‐associated PAH toxicity to __Hyalella azteca.__ A ΣPAH model was applied to freshwater sediments. This st
