摘要
Globally, sediment quality values (SQVs) for metals and metalloids vary over several orders of magnitude and can be below background. Regional SQVs can be useful as an initial step in a tiered sediment hazard/risk assessment approach such as an ecological risk assessment (ERA). Further tiers are often needed to take into account site-specific data including background concentrations, factors influencing bioavailability, and essentiality. Principles of sediment assessment for metals and metalloids are proposed.
