Effects of industrial effluent on wetland macroinvertebrate community structures near a wastewater treatment facility

Macroinvertebrate communities and environmental variables were examined in wetlands near an industrial wastewater treatment facility to assess impacts from exposure to historical effluents. Baseline wetland assessments were required prior to cleanup of contaminated sediments at the facility. The stu...
