Evaluation of site-specific criteria for copper and zinc: an integration of metal addition toxicity, effluent and receiving water toxicity, and ecological survey data

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5575671

Comparative laboratory toxicity tests using daphnids Ceriodaphnia dubia and fathead minnows Pimephales promelas were conducted to establish and evaluate relationships between the toxicity of domestic and industrial effluents containing copper and zinc, toxicity of the effluents in Naugatuck River, Connecticut receiving water, toxicity of each metal added to the receiving water and a reference water, and receiving water ecological survey data.
