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 The toxicity of the explosives 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT); hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (royal demolition explosive [RDX]); and octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocine (high‐melting explosive [HMX]), was evaluated in spiked sediment with two freshwater invertebrates
