Recognizing these limitations, the key challenge is to make bioreactor technology more economical to implement. This is particularly true for soil and sediment applications. As discussed below (see Section 5.5.5), such efforts include the use of in situ bioreactors and the conversion of existing lagoons or basins into on-site bioreactors.

Although this chapter focuses on applications with effluent wastewaters, all types of aquatic environmental media (freshwater, brackish, marine) can be appraised with the pT-scale procedure. Testing of liquid samples is virtually unlimited and can include untreated and treated wastewater, surface water, ground water, porewater, elutriates and organic extracts of sediments. Applications could also be extended to assess toxicity of particle-bound substances in suspended matter and sediments. In this case, sample dilutions can be made with reference sediment material (Hoss and Krebs, 2003). The pT-method can also capture the effects of both soluble and particulate toxicity in a sample, provided that appropriate bioassays are employed.

The site assessment must provide sufficient information to identify relevant health and ecological concerns and assess the need for remedial action. To support a risk-based site evaluation, these data must be sufficient to construct a site conceptual exposure model characterizing affected environmental media (i.e., soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment), applicable exposure pathways and receptors, and potential contaminant transport mechanisms. General guidelines regarding key data requirements and data acquisition procedures are summarized below.

Recently, a new method was developed for characterizing ammonia toxicity in interstitial water [42]. The method involves the use of the natural mineral zeolite, as described in the Whole Sediment TIE section. In the method, rather than adding the zeolite directly to the sample, the interstitial water is charged through a chromatography column composed of zeolite. As in the whole sediment application, ammonium adsorbs to the zeolite resulting in an overall reduction in ammonia concentrations. Following the manipulation, the zeolite is discarded and the post-column effluent tested for toxicity. 

Mathematical equations that model these processes enable us to calculate the concentrations of a chemical released to the environment in air, water, soil, and sediment. Application of these equations requires numerous simplifying assumptions about the nature of the process (whether equilibrium/ steady state or not, ideal or not), the physicochemical properties of the substance and its reactivity, and the characteristics of the environment itself.
