Battery of screening tests approach applied to sediment extracts / by B.J. Dutka, K.K. Kwan, K. Jones and R. McInnis.: En13-5/87-134E-PDF

"This paper reports the application of a battery of microbiological and toxicant screening tests to sediments collected from the Port Hope area. The sediments were extracted using Milli Q water and solvents. The solvent extracts indicated that the whole sampling area has been impacted by toxic chemicals. The Daphnia magna test was the most sensitive screening test in Milli Q water extracts. Microbiological studies indicated that the sampling area was and is continuing to be impacted by fecal pollution"--Abstract.
