Contaminated sediments that are not acutely toxic to aquatic organisms but contain bioaccumulable toxic substances present a common, yet poorly understood problem for regulatory decision makers. In order to recommend options to minimize bioaccumulation of these toxic substances, decision-makers need

Comparisons were made of the accumulation of a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture from sediments and from water by the benthic worm Nereis diversicolor. Uptake from sediments was dose-dependent, attaining equilibrium concentration factors of approximately 3 to 4 after 2 months. Subsequent PCB el
Creosote, a complex mixture of aromatic compounds (ACs), contaminates numerous sites in the USA and elsewhere. In addition to pollution of the water column directly after a creosote spill, contaminated sediments can continue to act as source of pollution for many years, because natural and anthropog
## Abstract The levels of tributyltin (TBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) compounds were measured by gas chromatography ionβtrap mass spectrometry (GCβMS/MS) in natural and cultured mussels (__Mytilus galloprovincialis__) from the northern Adriatic Sea in spring 2003. The highest (725 ng g^β1^ dry weight) a
