Synopsis:

Including contributions from chemists, toxicologists, benthic ecologists, and government regulators, Carr (station leader at the Marine Ecotoxicology Research Station in Corpus Christi, Texas) and Nipper (senior research scientist, Texas A&M U.) present the results of a March 2000 workshop on porewater toxicity testing that was intended to build consensus recommendations on the application and uses of testing procedures. Plenary talks and summaries of workshop discussions are included for the following topics: comparison of porewater and solid-phase sediment toxicity tests; chemistry aspects of sampling, storage, handling, and testing of porewater; methodologies and procedures of testing; use of tests in sediment quality triad studies; and regulatory applications.
