Coal ash contains numerous contaminants and is the focus of regulatory actions and risk assessments due to environmental spills. In this work, we exposed Daphnia magna to a gradient of coal ash contamination under high and low food rations to assess the sublethal effects of dietary exposures. Whereas exposure to contaminants resulted in significant reductions in growth and reproduction in daphnids, low, environmentally relevant food rations had a much greater effect on these endpoints.
