This study compared the relative sensitivity of five inexpensive, rapid toxicity tests to the
sensitivity of five standard aquatic acute toxicity tests through literature review and testing …

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 …

The ultimate aim of ecotoxicological studies is to predict how natural populations respond to
contaminant exposure. Thus, it is crucial to understand how genetic and environmental …

Laboratory studies of algicide toxicity to algal species provide information to improve the
efficacy and efficiency of copper-containing algicides in actual field situations. The …

The study was carried out to assess the effect of both short-and long-term copper exposure
on five cladoceran species differing in body size and habitat, ie Daphnia magna, D. pulex, D …

Few studies have considered the environmental impacts of impurities and byproducts
associated with low-efficiency nanomanufacturing processes. Here, we study the …

Water quality standards for copper are usually stated in total element concentrations. It is
known, however, that a major part of the copper can be bound in complexes that are …

The sensitivity of glochidial stages of unionid mussels was evaluated in a series of
exposures to aqueous copper. Glochidia held within marsupia of gravid Villosa iris (I. Lea …

Abstract Acute (24-h) toxicity tests were used in this study to compare lethality responses in
early life stages (glochidia) of six freshwater mussel species, Leptodea fragilis, U. imbecillis …

Manganese is a toxic element frequently overlooked when assessing toxicity of effluents,
sediments, and pore waters. Manganese can be present at toxic levels in anoxic solutions …
