## Abstract Although weakly hydrophobic chemicals such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) tend not to persist in sediments, they may nevertheless be present in some sediments because of recent or ongoing releases. Standard methods are not available for assessing risks to benthic invertebrates due

The suitability of Drosophila melanogaster for biological screening of the toxic effects of volatile organic compounds was investigated. Adult flies were exposed to vapours of some organic solvents and gasoline under saturating conditions in the sublethal range. In some cases the dose-response relat
These patterns can be used to select efficient screening tools, or groups of compounds that provide the most information on overall occurrences of a larger target group of compounds. By using these screens to indicate whether a sample is contaminated with detectable amounts of the compounds of inter
