## Abstract A multiagency effort is underway to develop whole sediment toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) methods. Whole sediment TIE methods will be critical tools for characterizing toxicity at hazardous waste sites (e.g., Superfund sites) and in the conduct of environmental risk assessment

Toxicity identification of sediment pore waters from four sites in the Upper Scheldt (Belgium) was assessed using a simplified and discriminative toxicity identification evaluation procedure. The samples from all locations exhibited acute toxicity toward the freshwater crustacean Thamnocephalus plat
Gut contents have long been recognized as a potentially important source of bias in studies concerned with estimating contaminant body burdens in benthic macroinvertebrates. In this study, we show that gut-associated, inorganic material may also lead to significant overestimates of weight in Chirono
## Abstract Sediment quality was assessed in San Francisco Bay, California, USA, using a twoβtiered approach in which 111 sites were initially screened for sediment toxicity. Sites exhibiting toxicity were then resampled and analyzed for chemical contamination, recurrent toxicity, and, in some case
