elutriate test

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14629
Test in which a nonbenthic species, such as Daphnia magna, is exposed to an elutriate produced by mixing test sediment with water and then centrifuging the mixture.
Note: The elutriate test was developed for evaluating the potential effects of disposing of dredged material in open water. Analyses of elutriate samples measure the water-soluble constituents potentially released from sediment to the water column during dredge disposal operations
