Sediment toxicity testing integrates responses to sediment variables and hence does not directly indicate cause and effect. One tool for determining cause and effect is sediment spiking, in which relatively uncontaminated sediment is amended with known amounts of contaminants, then tested for toxici
## Abstract A 28βd bioaccumulation study was conducted to assess the potential of silver to bioaccumulate in the oligochaete __Lumbriculus variegatus.__ The oligochaetes were exposed to laboratoryβspiked sediments containing approx. 444 mg Ag/kg dry weight for up to 28 d. Fifteen test replicates we
