Study aim: "The ability of the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) and critical body residue (CBR) approaches to predict the toxicity of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, fluoranthene, to a standard sediment toxicity test organism, the amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was examined in a series of water-only and sediment exposures."
