Fate and bioavailability of antifouling booster biocides in harbour, dock and marine dredge material - AE0255
|
Description
Summary Objective:-
Through a series of laboratory experiments, evaluate the environmental fate and bioavailability of the compounds that may be used as antifoulants on marine vessels. Determine the acute and sub-lethal response of commercially important marine species and assess the appropriateness of existing models.
Key Customer Purpose:-
Assist DEFRA to evaluate the risk posed from antifoulant compounds and suggest acceptable levels of sediment contamination for FEPA licensing purposes. |
