| Abstract | Long Description |
The relative abilities of sediment concentrations of simultaneously extracted trace metal : acid-volatile sulfide (SEM:AVS) and dry weight-normalized trace metals to correctly predict both toxicity and nontoxicity were compared by analysis of 77 field-collected samples. Relative to the SEM:AVS concentrations, sediment guidelines based upon dry weight-normalized concentrations were equally or slightly more acute in predicting both nontoxic and toxic results in laboratory tests. |
