Abstract:
:As the first step toward parameterization of a chronic lead (Pb) biotic ligand model (BLM) for Ceriodaphnia dubia, 7-d toxicity tests were performed in waters modified to evaluate the influences of hardness, DOM (as Suwannee River NOM and Aldrich humic acid (HA)), pH (buffered with 4 mM MOPS) and alkalinity on the chronic toxicity of Pb. Calculated EC(20)s for the control base water test and each of the most extreme modified test waters were as follows in μg L(-1) Pb (95% confidence interval): base water control=45 (14-53), 5 mM CaSO(4)=22 (12-30), 32 mg L(-1) DOM=523 (388-573), 2.5 mM NaHCO(3)=73 (21-120) and pH 6.4 buffered with MOPS=3.9 μg L(-1) Pb (1-5). Results indicate that hardness does not protect against chronic toxicity of Pb to C. dubia, whereas HA does protect at the highest concentration tested (597 μM). Additionally, our findings suggest that low pH increases the chronic toxicity of Pb whereas increased alkalinity is protective. The findings reported herein support the need for a chronic Pb BLM as an alternative approach to hardness-based regulations.
