Standardized laboratory aquatic toxicity tests have been widely accepted as an appropriate means of obtaining the necessary toxicological data needed for conducting aquatic safety assessments of chemicals and for establishing water quality criteria. The need to confirm how well such data predict the toxicity of a chemical in natural environments has long been recognized. To provide insights into the relationship between laboratory and field data, parallel toxicity tests were conducted. Accepted laboratory methodologies were used for Daphnia magna acute and chronic toxicity tests and for fathead minnow acute toxicity tests and partial life-cycle studies in both the laboratory and the field. The test material was a commercial phosphate ester product containing tert-butylphenyldiphenyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, and ditert-butylphenylphenyl phosphate. For the field study, pond environments were simulated using twelve 3-m diameter tanks. The study demonstrates a good relationship between laboratory and field toxicity values for both the acute and chronic data.
