摘要

The application of bioavailability-based risk assessment for the management of contaminated sediments requires new techniques to rapidly and accurately determine metal bioavailability.Here,we designed a multimetal isotopically modified bioassay to directly measure the bioavailability of different metals by tracing the change in their isotopic composition within organisms following sediment exposure.With a 24 h sediment exposure,the bioassay sensed significant bioavailability of nickel and lead within the sediment and determined that cadmium and copper exhibited low bioavailable concentrations and risk profiles.We further tested whether the metal bioavailability sensed by this new bioassay would predict the toxicity risk of metals by examining the relationship between metal bioavailability and metal toxicity to chironomid larvae emergence.A strong dose-toxicity relationship between nickel bioavailability(nickel assimilation rate)and toxicity(22 days emergence ratio)indicated exposure to bioavailable nickel in the sediment induced toxic effects to the chironomids.Overall,our study demonstrated that the isotopically modified bioassay successfully determined metal bioavailability in sediments within a relatively short period of exposure.Because of its speed of measurement,it may be used at the initial screening stage to rapidly diagnose the bioavailable contamination status of a site.
