Chronic effects of contaminated sediment on Daphnia magna and Chironomus tentans (journal version)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6175199
Chronic tests were conducted with Daphnia magna (cladoceran) and Chironomus tentans (midge) to determine their usefulness as test organisms for chronic sediment assays, and to estimate the potential long-term impact of contaminated freshwater sediments and contaminated Superfund-site soils on freshwater invertebrates. These two species were used successfully in acute sediment tests and were shown to be useful in chronic tests in water.
