## Abstract Ammonia naturally accumulates to high concentrations in nonsurficial marine sediments. It can also interfere and confound interpretation of toxicity from persistent anthropogenic chemicals in tests with laboratory amphipods. Renewal of overlying water has become a standardized procedure
Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of interstitial water metal concentrations and simultaneously extracted metals/acid-volatile sulfide (SEM/AVS) ratios in explaining the acute toxicity of sediment-associated metals to benthic organisms. However, no full life-cycle chronic marine or est
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
