Chemical and physiological metal bioaccessibility assessment in surface bottom sediments from the Deba River urban catchment: Harmonization of PBET, TCLP and BCR sequential extraction methods
Wider investigations on bioavailability of sediment bound contaminants are fostered. Parameters governing gastrointestinal operation should be considered on measurements. Metal speciation to deepen in the knowledge of the bioaccessibility is proposed. Untreated and partially treated wastewater inputs provide more bioaccessible metals.
