Summary
A variety of test systems, including microcosms, have been developed to provide information on the environmental fate of test compounds in aquatic ecosystems. As the overall strategy for development of tests has been less than logical and only vaguely chronological, we believe that some degree of categorization and guidance in the application of these test systems is appropriate. Our approach is based on four criteria: environmental inocula, sediment, generation of degradation rates, and intact water/sediment cores. Test systems either (1) provide basic biodegradability/rate information (Screening Tests) or (2) answer research questions about biodegradation rates and their controlling factors in the environment (Investigative Tests). Examples of each system type are cited with their respective advantages and disadvantages.
