Sediment remains an important matrix for the monitoring of certain substances with significant potential for accumulation to assess long-term impacts ofanthropogenic activity and trends. The EQS Directive (2008/105 EC amended by 2013/39/EU) provides that Member States should take measures with the aim ofensuring that existing levels of contamination in sediment will not significantly increase. Chemical analysis of priority pollutants is often not sufficient to explainecotoxicological effects of these complex environmental samples. Risk assessment based on concentrations, e.g. of priority pollutants in sediments or water,obviously does not reflect the risk of the actual mixture of contaminants, but only the risk of those pre-selected toxicants. Bioassays are therefore useful tools forthe evaluation of sediment in which both known and unknown contaminants are present.
From 2010 to 2012, 31 monitoring stations included in the surveillancemonitoring programme of the WFD in Wallonia (Belgium) were sampled forsediment. Bioassays were carried out to determine the potential impact ofcontaminated sediment. According to their level of toxicity for the differenttests, the sediments of the surveillance monitoring stations were classified fromnon-toxic to extremely toxic. Priority substances selected as pertinent for amonitoring in sediments and other pertinent chemicals were analyzed in eachsample (63 µm fraction). The link between physico-chemical andecotoxicological parameters was assessed by multivariate statistical analysis.

Conclusion
Whole sediment ecotoxicity
Sediment ecotoxicity distribution
Pore water ecotoxicity
The results of this monitoring show that sediment collected in inland waterways display the highertoxicity. The sediments originating from the Scheldt hydrographic district are also more toxic. Theseresults underline the interest of using a bioassay battery to characterize sediments, each specieshaving a different sensitivity to pollutants in the sediment. They give additional information (forinstance for bioavailability) and are a useful tool for assessing risk posed by contaminated sediments.

Bioassays and chemical analysis
Sediment ecotoxicity classification
Relationship between priority pollutants and ecotoxicity
Statistical analysis showed
significant (p<0.05) positive
relations between some
chemical parameters (hydro-
carbons, metals), and the
different bioassays (except for
Brachionus calyciflorus).
As far as pore water is concerned, the most sensitive bioassays are algae (Pseudokirchneriellasubcapitata) and bacteria (Vibrio fischeri). For whole sediment Ostracodtoxkit® test is more sensitive
than Chironomus riparius bioassay. It is worth noticing that Ostracod mortality is only significant
above 30% (and when it is the case the growth inhibition is not assessed). Inland waterways (SVN)
seem to be more contaminated.

Classification based on Heise and Ahlf (2007)
Based on pore water toxicity, 10/31 sites were not toxic, 19/31 sites showed
moderate toxicity and 2/31 displayed high toxicity.
Based on whole sediment toxicity, 8/31 sites were not toxic, 2/31 sites showed
low toxicity, 18/31 sites displayed moderate toxicity and 3/31 sites high toxicity.
Considering both compartments, 3/31 sites were not toxic 12/31 displayed
moderate toxicity and 1/31 was highly toxic.
The ecotoxicological classification based on Heise and Ahlf (2007) shows that
3/31 sites were “not toxic”, 4/31 sites showed “low toxicity”, 17/31 sites
displayed “moderate toxicity”, 6/31 sites were “highly toxic” and only one site
belonged to class 5 (“extremely toxic”).
