"For 41 years, the annual Aquatic Toxicity Workshop (ATW) has been held in various locations across Canada. In 2015, the ATW was rebranded as the annual Canadian Ecotoxicity Workshop (CEW) to reflect the broad scope of environmental interests held by workshop participants. The 43rd annual CEW was held at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, from September 25 to 28, 2016. The workshop included 149 platform presentations and 43 poster presentations. Total attendance was 293. This workshop was one of a continuing series of annual workshops in Canada on ecological toxicology, covering topics from basic ecotoxicology to applications in environmental monitoring, setting of regulations and guidelines, and the development of sediment and water quality criteria. These workshops emphasize an informal exchange of ideas and knowledge on the topics among interested persons from industry, governments and universities. They provide an annual focus on the principles, current problems and approaches in ecotoxicology"--Preface, p. iii.

In 2015, the ATW was rebranded as the annual Canadian Ecotoxicity Workshop (CEW) to reflect the broad scope of environmental interests held by workshop participants. The 45th annual CEW was held at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, from September 30 to October 3, 2018. The workshop included 131 platform presentations and 49 poster presentations. Total attendance was 327.

These workshops are administered by a Board of Directors and organized by local organizing committees.

Sediment contamination is a widespread environmental problem that can potentially pose a threat to a variety of aquatic ecosystems. The sediment test methods in this manual will be used by The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to make decisions under a range of statutory authorities concerning such issues as: dredged material disposal, registration of pesticides and toxic substances, superfound site assessment, and assessment and cleanup of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The use of uniform sediment testing procedures by USEPA programs is expected to increase data accuracy and precision, facilitate test replication, increase the comparative value of test results, and ultimately, increase the efficiency of regulatory processes requiring sediment tests.
Completely revised and updated with 18 new chapters, this second edition includes contributions from over 75 international experts. Also, a Technical Review Board reviewed all manuscripts for accuracy and currency. Focusing on toxic substance and how they affect the ecosystems worldwide, the book presents methods for quantifying and measuring ecotoxicological effects in the field and in the lab, as well as methods for estimating, predicting, and modeling in ecotoxicology studies. This is the definitive reference for students, researchers, consultants, and other professionals in the environmental sciences, toxicology, chemistry, biology, and ecology - in academia, industry, and government.
This broad review is the first to gather comprehensive information on the complete contemporary range of toxicity testing procedures and hazard assessment procedures, which is normally scattered and difficult to find. The two-volume set provides a consistent, template-based approach, linking relevant information on background, theory and practice to each bioassay. Volume 2 examines hazard assessment schemes. Includes extensive glossary.
