We evaluated the effects of varying water chemistry ([Ca 2+]= 0.2–3 mM,[Mg 2+]= 0.05–3
mM, dissolved organic matter (DOM, natural, from maple leaves)= 0.3–10 mg of CL− 1, pH …

Recently, several bioavailability-based models have been shown to predict acute metal
mixture toxicity with reasonable accuracy. However, the application of such models to …

Metal contamination in freshwater ecosystems is a global issue and metal discharges to
aquatic environments are monitored in order to protect aquatic life and human health …

In this study, the acute copper sensitivity of field-collected cladoceran species was
determined using their natural surface waters and a standard reconstituted test water as test …

Bioavailability of metals to aquatic organisms can be considered to be a combination of the
physicochemical factors governing metal behavior and the specific pathophysiological …

Geographical and temporal variations in metal speciation were calculated and water-type
specific sensitivities were derived for a range of aquatic species, using surveillance water …

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 …

Although metal mixture toxicity has been studied relatively intensely, there is no general
consensus yet on how to incorporate metal mixture toxicity into aquatic risk assessment. We …

Abstract The world‐class Alaskan Bristol Bay salmon fishery and vast deposits of copper
(Cu) and other metals in the watershed warrant further investigation into the potential toxicity …

The article discusses the major uncertainty in some aquatic risk assessments for toxic
chemicals is the physiochemical characteristics' aggregate effect of exposure media on …
