The use of Daphnia magna immobilization tests and soil microcosms to evaluate the toxicity of dredged sediments

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using the buffering capacity of natural soil for the remediation of dredged material before being disposed in soil landfills. To achieve that, an Integrated Soil Microcosms (ISM) system was designed to produce elutriates and leachates from the sediment/soil pe...
