SETAC announces ERA of Contaminated Sediments book
The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)
announces another new publication.
ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS
Edited by Christopher G. Ingersoll, Tom Dillon, Gregory R. Biddinger
ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS
resulted from the proceedings of a Pellston Workshop held 23-28 April
1995 at Pacific Grove, California. Although sediment
toxicity/bioaccumulation testing and environmental risk assessment
(ERA) originated together in the early 1980s, their separate
evolution prompted experts from 21 states and 6 countries to
integrate sediment quality assessment with ERA during this workshop.
By critically evaluating existing approaches, this group of experts
identifies principles and practices for sediment ecological risk
assessment (SERA) that are designed to improve the scientific and
regulatory communities' ability to assess environmental risks
associated with contaminated sediments. The authors pinpoint
critical applications (product assessment, navigational dredging,
site clean-up) and pertinent issues (ecological relevance,
methodological uncertainty) that address the evaluation of sediments
as both a source and a sink for persistent aquatic contaminats.
