Discharges of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) into periurban rivers present risks for the concerned aquatic ecosystems. In this work, a specific ecotoxicological risk assessment methodology has been developed as management tool to municipalities equipped with CSOs. This methodology comprises a detailed description of the spatio-temporal system involved, the choice of ecological targets to be preserved, and carrying out bioassays adapted to each compartment of the river receiving CSOs. Once formulated, this methodology was applied to a river flowing through the outskirts of the city of Lyon in France. The results obtained for the scenario studied showed a moderate risk for organisms of the water column and a major risk for organisms of the benthic and hyporheic zones of the river. The methodology enabled identifying the critical points of the spatio-temporal systems studied, and then making proposals for improving the management of CSOs.

“…A survey of 67 sites in Great Britain gave the following results on a wet-weight basis (Mason, 1987 Similarly, residues in 50 species of Australian fish from the Great Barrier Reef were almost always below the detection limit of 0.1 mg/kg dry weight (Denton and Burdon-Jones, 1986), as also noted for 12 species from the Mediterranean (Hornung and Ramelow, 1987) and for sharks from the Atlantic near the British Isles . Such low residues are significant because limits do not usually need to be placed on the consumption of fish inhabiting cadmium-polluted waters.…”

“…These fish included both predatory and bottom-feeding species. Similarly, Hornung and Ramelow (1987) showed that total Cr in 12 fish species from the eastern Mediterranean averaged 0.4 mg/kg (range 0.004-5.8 mg/kg) whereas residues in fish from the North Sea ranges from only 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg .…”

“…However, residues in Ascophyllum nodo-sum, collected from a polluted fjord in Norway, averaged 166 mg/kg dry weight, compared to control plant residues of6 mg/kg (Haug et aI., 1974). Ramelow et al (1987) reported much higher concentrations (16-68 mg/kg dry weight) in microscopic diatoms from a bayou in Louisiana. Such values likely reflect the high surface area:volume ratio of small plants, which permit a relatively rapid uptake of copper.…”

“…Ramelow et al (1987), working with benthic diatoms in the Calcasieu Estuary (Louisiana), reported that total Ag residues ranged from 0.1 to 3.6 mg/kg dry weight. Those values gave sediment concentration factors (residue in diatoms/residue in sediment) of < 10, whereas water concentration factors (residue in diatoms/ residue in water) were> 10,000. analyzed a large number of plant species collected from the shoreline of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron.…”

To determine whether the bioavailability of trace elements derived from coal ash leachates varies with the geochemical conditions associated with their formation, we quantified periphyton bioaccumulation and subsequent trophic transfer to the mayfly Neocloeon triangulifer. Oxic ash incubations favored periphyton uptake of arsenic, selenium, strontium, and manganese, whereas anoxic incubations favored periphyton uptake of uranium. Mayfly enrichment was strongest for selenium, whereas biodilution was observed for strontium, uranium, and arsenic. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:2991-2996. © 2017 SETAC.
