Evaluation of the effects of storage time on the toxicity of sediments

With the need to collect large numbers of sediment samples and the limited number of laboratory personnel it would be beneficial to be able to store samples longer than the currently suggested 14 day period.

Zusammenfassung:With the need to collect large numbers of sediment samples and the limited number of laboratory personnel it would be beneficial to be able to store samples longer than the currently suggested 14 day period. Using D. magna and C. tentans bioassays, sediments from six locations in the North American Great Lakes were evaluated to see if length of storage at 4°C had an effect on toxicity over a 112 day period. No statistical difference was observed over this time period.
