Acute and chronic toxicity of combined sewer overflows : data report / Q. Rochfort [and five others].: En13-5/99-70E-PDF
"Combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges have been characterized in the past using chemical parameters. This approach has provided a great deal of information on the input of solids, nutrients, metals, hydrocarbons and trace organic compounds from these discharges to the receiving waters. It does not, however, indicate the bioavailability of these contaminants or their potential impact on biological systems or organisms in the receiving waters. To fill this gap, a battery of acute toxicity, genotoxicity and chronic toxicity tests were applied to a variety of combined sewer overflow discharges"--Abstract.
