VIMS researchers report preliminary September 2014 results from laboratory assays modeling mercury bioaccumulation in the amphipod Hyalella azteca exposed to Dooms Crossing sediments amended with Sedimite® or three size-classes of Cowboy® biochar. At 0 and 2 months post-amendment all sorbents reduced mercury bioavailability (to ~23–35% of unamended), with Sedimite and smaller biochar most effective.

Review Notes :
Document header names M.C. Newman - VIMS and labels the file as a September 2014 update; assays at 0 and 2 months are presented and a 4-month assay was underway. I classified this as a progress report because it is an interim technical update rather than a final report or peer-reviewed article.
