Article Synopsis
- - The study compared acute toxicity levels of copper for Daphnia magna using predictions from the biotic ligand model (BLM) and actual measurements taken from water samples in Liaohe River and Taihu Lake during wet and dry seasons.
- - BLM predicted copper toxicity values ranged from 232.75-411.49 µg/L, while measured values were lower, at 134.55-350.00 µg/L, with better consistency at three sites but discrepancies noted at one site.
- - The water effect ratios (WERs) were all above 1, indicating increased copper toxicity, especially in dry season samples, potentially due to copper interacting with dissolved organic matter that lowered its toxicity in wet conditions.
