Study aim: "The main objectives of this study were to determine chronic (28 d) sediment toxicity of D5 and the bioaccumulation of D5 in the freshwater, benthic invertebrate Hyalella azteca with exposure to spiked, natural sediments. Secondary objectives were to; determine the influence of sediment characteristics on D5 bioavailability and toxicity."
