Efforts to stem global change include the application of new technological developments that aim to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (C[O.sub.2]) through the carbon capture and storage (CCS) of this greenhouse gas in stable geological structures. In this paper, we assess the potential risks related to the application of CCS technology and the acidification of aquatic ecosystems through C[O.sub.2] enrichment. We use the multiple lines of evidence approach (LOEs) to characterize the effects of the acidification with contamination in aquatic sediments. We highlight and discuss the effects of acidification on the LOEs including contamination and mobility of contaminants in sediments, toxicity, macrobenthic community structure, in situ effects, and bioaccumulation--biomagnification processes. We further assess the results of acidification on the toxicity of organic contaminants such as antibiotics or illicit drugs like the freebase form of cocaine (crack). The main goal of using the LOE approach is to distinguish between adverse effects that are associated with contaminants and those related to acidification by enrichment of C[O.sub.2] as a result of CCS technology. Previous assessments were not designed or conducted to incorporate an integrative point of view, nor did they employ a weight of evidence approach (WOE) in risk characterization and management of CCS operations and other situations related to acidification by enrichment of C[O.sub.2] in the aquatic ecosystem. Based on the findings of this review, the WOE can identify the effects of the acidification on the different LOEs used for sediment quality: contaminant mobility, the adverse effects in organism under laboratory and field conditions, and the bioaccumulation--biomagnification of contaminants. The main strength in using the WOE is the ability of this method to discriminate between LOE responses associated with contamination by different organic and inorganic substances from those related to C[O.sub.2] acidification itself. The WOE will significantly improve the risk assessment in areas affected by potential leakages of C[O.sub.2] during CCS operations.

Les efforts visant a endiguer le changement a l'echelle planetaire comprennent l'application de nouveaux developpements technologiques visant a reduire le dioxyde de carbone (C[O.sub.2]) atmospherique grace au captage et au stockage (CSC) de ce gaz a effet de serre dans des structures geologiques stables. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous evaluons les risques possibles lies a l'application de la technologie du CSC et a l'acidification des ecosystemes aquatiques par l'enrichissement en C[O.sub.2]. Nous employons une approche reposant sur de multiples sources de donnees (SD) pour caracteriser les effets de l'acidification par la contamination dans les sediments aquatiques. Nous mettons en lumiere les effets de l'acidification sur les SD, notamment la contamination et la mobilite des contaminants dans les sediments, la toxicite, la structure de la communaute macrobenthique, les effets in situ et les processus de bioaccumulation et de bioamplification. Nous evaluons egalement les consequences de l'acidification sur la toxicite des contaminants organiques tels que les antibiotiques ou les drogues illicites comme la forme de base libre de la cocaïne (crack). L'objectif principal d'utiliser l'approche des SD est de faire la distinction entre les effets nocifs associes aux contaminants et ceux lies a l'acidification par enrichissement en C[O.sub.2] du fait de la technologie de CSC. Les evaluations anterieures n'ont pas ete concues ou realisees en vue d'incorporer une vision integrative, et elles n'ont pas eu recours a une approche fondee sur le poids de la preuve (PP) pour caracteriser et gerer les risques lies aux operations de CSC et a d'autres situations liees a l'acidification par l'enrichissement en C[O.sub.2] dans l'ecosysteme aquatique. D'apres les resultats de cet examen, l'approche du PP permet de determiner les effets de l'acidification sur les differentes SD utilisees pour la qualite des sediments, a savoir la mobilite des contaminants, les effets nefastes sur les organismes en laboratoire et sur le terrain, ainsi que la bioaccumulation et la bioamplification des contaminants. La principale force de l'utilisation du PP est la capacite de cette methode de distinguer entre les reponses de SD associees a la contamination par differentes substances organiques et inorganiques de celles liees a l'acidification par le C[O.sub.2]. Le PP ameliorera considerablement l'evaluation des risques dans les zones touchees par les fuites potentielles de C[O.sub.2] pendant les operations de CSC.
