Abstract
⺠Field assays with caged lugworms are a valuable tool for sediment quality assessment. ⺠Lugworm biochemical biomarkers are useful detecting toxicity and chemical exposure. ⺠Cadiz Bay sediments were not toxic for Arenicola marina. ⺠Sediment PAHs in Santander Bay and LPGC Port induced toxic responses in A. marina. ⺠PPCPs were identified as possible cause of toxicity for lugworms.
