Cover title. Includes bibliographical references. "Sediments provide habitat for many benthic and epibenthic organisms. They also influence the environmental fate of many chemical substances in aquatic ecosystems by acting as both sinks and subsequently sources of substances that have entered the aquatic environment. Many aquatic organisms may be exposed to chemical substances through their immediate interactions with bed sediments; therefore, benchmarks of environmental quality (such as sediment quality guidelines) are required to support protection and management strategies for freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Under the auspices of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Canadian sediment quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life are being developed through the CCME Task Group on Water Quality Guidelines"--Abstract.
