Sediment Quality Criteria Methodology Validation: Uncertainty Analysis of Sediment Normalization Theory for Nonpolar Organic Contaminants

摘要

The study continues earlier work in which equilibrium partitioning theory was used to estimate permissible sediment contamination concentrations for nonpolar hydrophobic organic contaminants. The main objective is quantification of the uncertainty associated with and the refinement of the initially predicted PCC values.
