Development of Marine Sediment Toxicity Data for Ordnance Compounds and Toxicity Identification Evaluation Studies at Select Naval Facilities
To assess the potential impact of contamination by ordnance compounds and their contribution to environmental degradation in two areas of Puget Sound, Washington, an extensive study was undertaken. It included the generation of a toxicity database of ordnance compounds to marine organisms, and sedim...
