"May 1988." Includes bibliographical references. "The results of a four year, Canada-wide study of 178 water samples and 227 sediment samples, to evaluate a variety of microbiological, biochemical and toxicant screening tests to form the core group of a battery of tests, which could be used to prioritize samples and provide monitoring data, are described. The core group of tests were found to vary slightly depending on the type of sample or extracting procedure used. Using these battery of tests data and a ranking scheme based on the awarding of points for various positive values, lists were prepared of the 20 most hazardous water and sediment sampling sites"--Abstract.
