| direct toxicity assessment of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater and derivation of a site-specific guideline. | groundwater contaminated with a mixture of 14 volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (vchs) discharges to an estuarine embayment in sydney, australia. a screening-level hazard assessment identified a potential risk to aquatic organisms from surface water contaminated by the groundwater. direct toxicity assessment of the groundwater was undertaken on 5 indigenous marine species to assess toxicity and derive a site-specific guideline. the testing included acute tests, subchronic tests on early life sta ... | 2009 | 19125544 |
| relationships between toxicity and concentrations of chemical contaminants in sediments from sydney harbour, australia, and vicinity. | correlation analyses between measures of toxicity and concentrations of chemical contaminants were conducted for 103 surficial sediments from sydney harbour, australia, and vicinity. toxicity tests consisted of amphipod survival and reburial tests of whole sediments (corophium colo), sea urchin fertilisation and larval development tests of pore waters (heliocidaris tuberculata) and microbial bioluminescence (microtox) tests of solvent extracts and pore waters. toxicity in most tests correlated w ... | 2006 | 16773229 |
