Harmful effects of iron materials on benthic organisms: a preliminary study

Description

Exposure experiments were conducted with polychaete and bivalve organisms that are common in coastal benthic environments to examine the effects of three types of iron materials: zero-valent iron, iron oxide, and iron oxyhydroxide.

Steps to reproduce

The collected sediment cores were used for the exposure experiments on Paraprionospio patiens. In the bivalve exposure experiment, 12 tanks (40.0 cm × 25.6 cm × 28.0 cm) were filled with artificial seawater (Marine Art SF-1, Tomita Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), which was prepared at a salinity of 3%.
