- •
Sediment contamination levels were from low to moderate.
- •
The set of bioassays allowed the identification of a toxicity gradient.
- •
Sub-chronic tests discriminated among samples, acute toxicity was generally absent.
- •
Major toxic effects were measured in sites where anthropogenic pressure is higher.
- •
Most of the sediments does not represent a risk for the biota in the short term.
