Acute toxicity of combined sewer overflows and stormwater disharges / Q. Rochfort [and seven others].: En13-5/97-190E-PDF
"The impact of stormwater discharges and combined sewer overflow outfalls on receiving waters has been investigated in the past using chemical characterization. This has provided a great deal of information on the input of solids, nutrients, metals, hydrocarbons and trace organic compounds from these discharges. It does not, however, gauge their bioavailablity or the impact these chemical constituents are having on the biological organisms in the receiving waters. This research focused on the application of a battery of acute toxicity tests to a variety of stormwater and combined sewer overflow discharges, in order to better gauge the effects on the ecosystems in the receiving waters"--Abstract.
