Evaluation of metals, metalloids, and ash mixture toxicity using sediment toxicity testing

Metals, Metalloids and Toxicity in Date Palms: Potential Environmental Impact

This paper summarizes our studies on metal and metalloid uptake by the date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L., a tree of considerable importance in arid regions. The typical concentrations of 17 elements in the date palm are summarized and compared with existing data in the scientific literature. The role and toxicity of these elements are considered. Issues encountered by us during sample collectio...

Sea Urchin Bioassays in Toxicity Testing: II. Sediment Evaluation

Bioassays on sea urchin early life stages have been used extensively in evaluating the pollution impact on seawater, coastal sediments, and other matrices as soil, freshwater sediment, and industry effluents. Here we review the literature in this field to determine whether testing whole sediment vs. pore water or elutriates by sea urchin bioassays provides a better estimation of actual risk. Th...
