Implementation of the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD) has refocused attention on the impact of non-point source discharges on receiving water bodies. However, although the physico-chemical characteristics of urban runoff have been widely reported, its ecotoxicological impacts are less certain. There is currently considerable debate surrounding how the ecological status of water bodies should be determined and the all-encompassing environmental quality standards, required by the WFD, developed and complied with. To contribute to the debate surrounding these issues, the ecotoxicity of urban water and sediments were investigated in relation to concentrations of selected heavy metals in these environments. The Microtox test was used to evaluate the ecotoxicity of urban stream water, water samples in which sediments had been resuspended, porewater and sediments. Total concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Cd were determined in the same fractions. Data reported indicate that the toxicity of surface water is greater during wet weather events compared to dry weather conditions. Two different statistical approaches for assessing the associations between metals and ecotoxicity are described and the different interpretations provided are fully discussed
