Australian freshwaters have relatively low water hardness and different calcium (Ca) to
magnesium (Mg) ratios compared with those in Europe. The hardness values of a …

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 …

The accurate prediction of Ni ecotoxicity in natural surface water with bioavailability models
such as the biotic ligand model (BLM) depends on how well these models can predict both …

Abstract The European Water Framework Directive prescribes that the environmental quality
standards for nickel in surface waters should be based on bioavailable concentrations …

Current ecological risk assessment and water quality regulations for nickel (Ni) use
mechanistically based, predictive tools such as biotic ligand models (BLMs). However …

A bioavailability‐based environmental quality standard (EQS) was established for nickel in
freshwaters under the European Union's Water Framework Directive. Bioavailability …

Bioavailability‐based approaches have been developed for the regulation of metals in
freshwaters in several countries. Empirical multiple linear regression (MLR) models have …

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 …

There has been an increased emphasis on incorporating bioavailability‐based approaches
into freshwater guideline value derivations for metals in the Australian and New Zealand …
