Assessment of hazardous property HP 14 using ecotoxicological tests: a case study of weathered coal fly ash

Assessment of the environmental acceptability of potential artificial reef materials using two ecotoxicity tests: Luminescent bacteria and sea urchin embryogenesis

“…biomarkers responses) should be considered (Hook et al, 2014). Many studies applying a test strategy that combines leaching with ecotoxicity tests have been carried out to characterize soils, sediments or contaminated sites, as well as to classify waste according to the hazard property H14 (ecotoxic waste) in the European regulatory framework (Directive, 2008/98/EC) and recently to assess the environmental impact of construction products (Stiernström et al, 2014;Bandarra et al, 2020). For the purpose of having a clear understanding of the biological assessment of materials prior to reef deployment makes it easier to assess post deployment impacts, two aquatic bioassays on different marine model organisms have been considered.…”

Research to Industry and Industry to Research

“…V Alternative, internationally recognized guidelines are available, including similar aquatic tests, but with different leaching methods and, consequently, different limits (CEN, 2005;Moser and Römbke, 2009;Pandard and Römbke, 2013). Many authors (Bandarra et al, 2020;Tsiridis et al, 2012) have developed experimental designs that are more consistent with this approach than the CLP design. However, this comparison is beyond the scope of the current report (Beggio et al, 2021).…”
