Increased focus on the development and application of bioavailability‐based metal water
quality guideline values requires increased understanding of the influence of water …

Zinc is an essential element for aquatic organisms, however, activities such as mining and
refining, as well as zinc's ubiquitous role in modern society can contribute to elevated …

Zinc is a contaminant of concern in aquatic environments and is a known toxicant to many
aquatic organisms. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a toxicity modifying factor for zinc and …

Bioavailability models predicting acute and/or chronic zinc toxicity to a green alga
(Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), a crustacean (Daphnia magna), and a fish …

Ambient concentrations of metals in surface waters have become an important consideration
when establishing water quality criteria and conducting risk assessments. This study sought …

Zinc (Zn) is a metal of potential concern for a uranium mine whose receiving waters are in
the World‐Heritage listed Kakadu National Park in northern Australia. The chronic toxicity of …

Multiple linear regression (MLR) models were developed for predicting chronic zinc toxicity
to a freshwater microalga, Chlorella sp., using three toxicity‐modifying factors (TMFs): pH …

Bioavailability models, for example, multiple linear regressions (MLRs) of water quality
parameters, are increasingly being used to develop bioavailability‐based water quality …

Copper and zinc toxicity to the freshwater alga Chlorella sp. was determined at a range of
pH values (5.5–8.0) in a synthetic softwater (hardness 40–48 mg CaCO 3/L). The effects of …

Studies with natural phytoplankton from Lake Ontario as well as with pure cultures of two
green and one diatom freshwater algal species revealed that the International Joint …
