Impact/Purpose:
This compilation provides toxicity data for use in the U.S. EPA document: U.S. EPA. 2008. Procedures for the Derivation of Equilibrium Partitioning Sediment Benchmarks (ESBs) for the Protection of Benthic Organisms: Compendium of Tier 2 Values for Nonionic Organics. EPA-600-R-02-016. Office of Research and Development. Washington, DC 20460. This compilation of data allows users of the U.S. EPA document to better understand how values were derived.
Description:
Compilation of toxicity data used to derive secondary chronic values (SCVs) and tier 2 equilibrium partitioning sediment benchmarks (ESBs) for a selection of nonionic organic chemicals. The values are used in the following U.S. EPA document: U.S. EPA. 2008. Procedures for the Derivation of Equilibrium Partitioning Sediment Benchmarks (ESBs) for the Protection of Benthic Organisms: Compendium of Tier 2 Values for Nonionic Organics. EPA-600-R-02-016.
