Description We sought to derive chemical criteria that could predict possible biological effects in sediments. To develop chemical-based criteria, data from several bioassays (Hyalella azteca, Microtoxâ Chironomus tentans, Daphnia magna, Ceriodaphnia dubia, and Hexagenia limbata) and chemical analyses (metals, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), pesticide/PCB, semivolatiles) were merged from 33 studies and 245 stations in Washington and Oregon into a single database.
