Pore water, the water found in the spaces between sediment particles, plays a vital role for many organisms residing in or around aquatic sediments. Microorganisms and tiny invertebrates can directly interact with this pore water, which may hold dissolved pollutants that have infiltrated the sediment. Analyzing pore water provides essential information about the environmental conditions in aquatic ecosystems, allowing for a better evaluation of bioavailability and potential toxicity.
