摘要
Information provided by acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory is described, including two case examples, relative to hazardous waste site sediments. AVS and EqP are tools in the toolbox, which can serve three main functions: screening, prioritization, and assisting in explaining observed effects. They should not be used in isolation for decision making, particularly al hazardous waste or other sites where the sediments are contaminated by materials such as coal, coke, and pitch.
