This paper reports the application of a battery of microbiological and toxicant screening tests to sediments collected from the Port Hope area. The sediments were extracted using Milli‐Q water and solvents. The solvent extracts indicated that the whole sampling area has been impacted by toxic chemicals. The Daphnia magna test was the most sensitive screening test in Milli‐Q water extracts. Microbiological studies indicated that the sampling area was, and is continuing to be, impacted by fecal pollution.
