Sediment Quality Challenges Bioavailability very complex, no simple “translator” available as used with some dissolved species in water. Bioavailability very complex, no simple “translator” available as used with some dissolved species in water. Sediment bound chemical dose response studies are not as reliable as water only exposures (used to develop WQOs). Sediment bound chemical dose response studies are not as reliable as water only exposures (used to develop WQOs). Sediment quality indicators limited in terms of discriminatory power, sensitivity, predictive ability. Sediment quality indicators limited in terms of discriminatory power, sensitivity, predictive ability. Indirect effects to human health from bioaccumulation are more difficult to understand.
