Summary
The purpose of this project has been to map the effects of surface runoff from quarrying activities on macroinvertebrates and zooplankton in recipients around the quarries/landfills Klåstad/Brattås, Krukåsen, Saga Pearl and Tvedalen west in 2016. The affected localities are compared with selected reference sites, and the results are compared to previous surveys. The use of filtering organisms to quantify the effects of particulate pollution on biota are discussed.
