The toxicity of many chemicals depends on the physical conditions of the test environment,
and any change or adjustment made to the tests can alter the results. Therefore it is …

Total dissolved solids (TDS) represent the sum of all common ions (eg, Na, K, Ca, Mg,
chloride, sulfate, and bicarbonate) in freshwater. Currently, no federal water quality criteria …

Little is known about ionic and osmotic stress tolerance in tardigrades. Here, we examine
salt stress tolerance in Ramazzottius oberhaeuseri and Echiniscus testudo from Nivå …

There is growing concern that freshwater ecosystems may be negatively affected by ever-

The geochemical signature of freshwater streams can be used to determine the extent and
nature of modification to stream water geochemistry due to urban development. This …

While it is increasingly being recognized that biotic ligand models (BLMs) are valuable in the
risk assessment of metals in aquatic systems, the development of chronic BLMs has been …

The extraction of alumina from bauxite produces a highly toxic residue, termed bauxite
refinery residue (BRR) or red mud. The toxicity of this material is due to chemical and …

Boron enters the aquatic environment from various sources, including weathering of borates,
