T1 Method of Complex Assessment of the Bottom Sediments Toxicity using Benthic and Planktonic Organisms JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2012 FD 2012-05-15 VO 48 IS 2 SP 30 OP 39 K1 toxicity K1 bioavailability K1 bottom sediments K1 Chironomus riparius K1 Daphnia magna. AB The method has been developed of the bottom sediments toxicity assessment using two species of the aquatic invertebrates − benthic Chironomus riparius and planktonic Daphnia magna. The method can be used also for analysis of the toxicants' bioavailability in the model experiments at the toxicants' adding either to the bottom sediments or to water. Reliability of the method has been shown in analysis of the natural bottom sediments with different toxicity rate.
