The SeKT joint research project was initiated with the aim of comparing recently developed sediment contact assays by addressing reference conditions, control sediments and toxicity thresholds for their application in limnic sediment toxicity assessment (Feiler et al., 2005). [Pg.262]

However, the above-described fundamental problems (e.g. enviromnental factors, controls, test-phases see Section 6.2.2.) cannot be resolved by further developments of individual tests, but require a comprehensive comparative examination. Such a study should comprise the definition of reference conditions and standardised reference sediments (controls) as the basis for the comparability of several sediment contact tests that are used within one test battery. Further, toxicity thresholds should be defined to assure assessment methods. Meaningful answers to these fundamental questions of sediment risk assessment and classification can be found by pooling research efforts in a joint research project. Such a project is the here described SeKT joint research project (SeKT Sediment Kontakt Test). [Pg.263]
