Tolerance of Freshwater Test Organisms to Formulated Sediments

Entry ID: usgs_brd_cerc_d_freshwater

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: A method is described for preparing formulated sediments for use in toxicity
testing. Ingredients used to prepare formulated sediments included
commercially available silt, clay, sand, humic acid, dolomite, and
alpha-cellulose (as a source of organic carbon). Alpha Cellulose was selected
as the source of organic carbon because it is commerically available,
consistent from batch to batch, and low ...
