Since the early 2000s, biotic ligand models and related constructs have been a dominant
paradigm for risk assessment of aqueous metals in the environment. We critically review 1) …

As part of a SETAC Pellston Workshop, we evaluated the potential use of metal tissue
residues for predicting effects in aquatic organisms. This evaluation included consideration …

Metal nanoparticles have distinctly different chemical and physical properties than currently
investigated oxides. Since pure metallic nanoparticles are igniting at air, carbon stabilized …

Fatty acids are the fundamental structural components of membrane lipids, and the degree
of saturation of the long hydrocarbon chains in microalgae contributes to regulation of …

Hydraulic fracturing extracts oil and gas through the injection of water and proppants into
subterranean formations. These injected fluids mix with the host rock formation and return to …

Metal and metalloid contamination constitutes a major concern in aquatic ecosystems. Thus
it is important to find rapid and reliable indicators of metal stress to aquatic organisms. In this …

This article reviews the application of bioassays for assessing the toxicity hazard posed by
landfill leachate discharged to an aquatic environment. Landfill leachate is a complex …

This paper reviews dietborne toxicity of 13 metals (Ag, Al, As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb,
V, Zn) to aquatic biota. Of those, Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn have caused dietborne toxicity in …

Efforts to incorporate bioavailability adjustments into regulatory water quality criteria in the
United States have included four major procedures: hardness‐based single‐linear …

In the present study, the individual effects of Ca, Mg, and pH on the chronic toxicity of Ni to
Daphnia magna were examined in a series of 21‐d reproduction tests in synthetic test …
