Title: Acute toxicity to goldfish of mixtures of chloramines, copper, and linear alkylate sulfonate

Journal Article · · Trans. Am. Fish. Soc.; (United States)

The toxicity to goldfish (Carassius auratus) of mixtures of chloramines, copper, and linear alkylate sulfonate (LAS) was studied by continuous-flow toxicity tests during an exposure period of 96 hours. The individual toxicities of these three chemicals are either additive or synergistic in mixtures, depending on the rate of toxic action of the individual chemical, the toxicity ratio of the chemicals in the mixtures, and the concentration of the mixtures.
