We studied biotic ligand model (BLM) predictions of the toxicity of nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) in
natural waters from Illinois and Minnesota, USA, which had combinations of pH, hardness …

A review of nickel (Ni) toxicity to aquatic organisms was conducted to determine the primary
water quality factors that affect Ni toxicity and to provide information for the development and …

This study evaluated acute and chronic nickel (Ni) toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia and
Hyalella azteca with the objective of generating information for the development of a biotic …

The effects of Ca, Mg, Na and pH on the acute toxicity of Ni to Daphnia magna were
investigated in a series of 48-h immobilization assays in synthetic test solutions. Both Ca …

Toxicity‐modifying factors can be modeled either empirically with linear regression models
or mechanistically, such as with the biotic ligand model (BLM). The primary factors affecting …

Nickel (Ni) is used primarily in the production of alloys like stainless steel and is increasingly
being used in the production of batteries for the electric vehicle market. Exposure of Ni to …

The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of water chemistry parameters on the
acute toxicity of waterborne Ni to Daphnia pulex in soft waters and using this information to …

The ecotoxicity of nickel depends on water quality characteristics such as pH and dissolved
organic carbon. Bioavailability models to predict nickel toxicity have been developed for and …

The chemical speciation of metals influences their biological effects. The Biotic Ligand
Model (BLM) is a computational approach to predict chemical speciation and acute …

The use of Biotic Ligand Models (BLMs) to normalize metal ecotoxicity data and predict
effects in non-BLM organisms should be supported by quantitative evidence. This study …
