PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FOR THE IN SITU TOXICITY IDENTIFICATION EVALUATION (ITIE) TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSESSING CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS, REMEDIATION SUCCESS, RECONTAMINATION, AND SOURCE IDENTIFICATION
Burton, G.A., SERDP Project ER18-1181, 45 pp, 2020
This SEED project addressed DoD's critical need for effective monitoring tools to provide certainty in the decision-making process on critical risk determination components, such as causality, bioavailability, source identification, and fate across ecosystem compartments. iTIES can address all these critical risk determinants cost-effectively. It is a biological, fractionation protocol that systematically identifies chemical classes causing toxicity in overlying water, porewater, and outfalls. The system separates chemical classes of contaminants of concern frequently linked to adverse biological effects at DoD sites. The overall objective of the proposed project was the proof-of-concept of an accurate field methodology for in situ assessment that links chemical class exposures to effects, allowing for more cost-effective monitoring and remediation decisions. https://www.serdp-estcp.org/content/download/50675/498021/file/ER18-1181%20Final%20Report.pdf
