Assessment of the ecotoxicity of urban estuarine sediment using benthic and pelagic copepod bioassays
Urban estuarine sediments are sinks to a range of contaminants of anthropogenic origin, and a key challenge is to characterize the risk of these compounds to receiving environments. In this study, the toxicity of urban estuarine sediments was tested using acute and chronic bioassays in the benthic h...
