Ecotoxicological assessment of contaminated sites
A new report from the Ecotox Centre provides an overview of suitable bioassays for the assessment of contaminated sites. Although an ecotoxicological assessment of contaminated sites is not required by law, it is often carried out because these tests provide important information on the bioavailability of pollutants and their effect on organisms. The aim of the project was to find out whether and how these tests could be considered for a new enforcement aid for the Contaminated Sites Ordinance.
