“…Chloride IC50 values for C. dubia were similar to those determined elsewhere in low-hardness water [10] and in moderate-hardness water [9,11]. The IC50 value for SO 4 2À determined in moderate-hardness water was close to that determined by Soucek [27], who also tested Na 2 SO 4 in a similar water formulation. With the toxicity of SO 4 2À measured as TDS, the IC25 (1,518 mg TDS/L) determined in moderate-hardness water was comparable to the IC25 (1,443 mg/L) determined in water with a slightly lower hardness [14].…”

Chronic toxicities of Cl(-), SO(4) (2-), and HCO(3) (-) to Ceriodaphnia dubia were evaluated in low- and moderate-hardness waters using a three-brood reproduction test method. Toxicity tests of anion mixtures were used to determine interaction effects and to produce models predicting C. dubia reproduction. Effluents diluted with low- and moderate-hardness waters were tested with animals acclimated to low- and moderate-hardness conditions to evaluate the models and to assess the effects of hardness and acclimation. Sulfate was significantly less toxic than Cl(-) and HCO(3) (-) in both types of water. Chloride and HCO(3) (-) toxicities were similar in low-hardness water, but HCO(3) (-) was the most toxic in moderate-hardness water. Low acute-to-chronic ratios indicate that toxicities of these anions will decrease quickly with dilution. Hardness significantly reduced Cl(-) and SO(4) (2-) toxicity but had little effect on HCO(3) (-). Chloride toxicity decreased with an increase in Na(+) concentration, and HCO(3) (-) toxicity may have been reduced by the dissolved organic carbon in effluent. Multivariate models using measured anion concentrations in effluents with low to moderate hardness levels provided fairly accurate predictions of reproduction. Determinations of toxicity for several effluents differed significantly depending on the hardness of the dilution water and the hardness of the water used to culture test animals. These results can be used to predict the contribution of elevated anion concentrations to the chronic toxicity of effluents; to identify effluents that are toxic due to contaminants other than Cl(-), SO(4) (2-), and HCO(3) (-); and to provide a basis for chemical substitutions in manufacturing processes.

“…The influence of conductivity to zooplankton in gypsum karst lakes is probably the result of the high concentration in sulfates in the water. As it was shown in the study of Soucek (2007), sulphate salts reduce filter-feeding rate in the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia (Richard, 1894), and resulted to slower rates of growth in populations exposed to sulphate salts environment than unexposed populations. The above could explain the negative correlation of conductivity with the cladoceran D. cucullata and also the copepods E. drieschi and M. albidus, although more research on that issue would be required.…”

Zooplankton species composition and abundance variation was studied in Lake Amvrakia, which is a deep, temperate, gypsum karst lake situated in the western Greece. The two year survey of zooplankton revealed 33 species (23 rotifers, five cladocerans, four copepods and one mollusc larva). The mean integrated abundance of the total zooplankton ranged between 83.6 and 442.7 ind. L −1 , with the higher density to be recorded in the surface 0-20 m layer. Small numbers of specimens of almost all species were found also in the hypoxic or anoxic hypolimnion. Copepods and especially the calanoid Eudiaptomus drieschi dominated the zooplankton community throughout the sampling period, followed by Dreissena polymorpha larvae, rotifers and cladocerans. Seasonal succession among the cladocerans and the most abundant rotifer species was observed. The concentration of chlorophyll-a was the most important factor for the variation of total zooplankton, as well as for the rotifers' community. Dissolved oxygen affected copepods and cladocerans, water level correlated mainly with the molluscs larvae of D. polymorpha, while temperature influenced the variation of several rotifers, the cladoceran Diaphanosoma orghidani and the mollusc larvae. Negative correlation of conductivity with the cladoceran Daphnia cucullata and the copepods E. drieschi and Macrocyclops albidus was found. The differences in species composition found in Lake Amvrakia in comparison to the nearby lakes are probably ought to the geographical isolation and perhaps to its particular chemistry (e.g., elevated conductivity).

“…The SO 2 4 concentrations for ANL are some 34 times the concentrations found by Soucek [30] to cause impairment of long-term reproduction success and toxicity in C. dubia. Moreover, Kennedy et al [17] found C. dubia to be sensitive to SO 2À 4 and determined SO 2À 4 at concentrations of approximately 2,000 mg/L (see Soucek [31]) to be a primary source of acute toxicity in a coal mine effluent.…”

“…High total alkalinity was also present in CNL (30,166.55 AE 287.58 mg/L), and, although CNL and ANL were similarly toxic, the carbonation of RL did not substantially reduce the total alkalinity, and CNL was more acutely toxic to both species than ANL. Although H 2 SO 4 neutralization effectively removed hydroxide alkalinity and reduced total and carbonate alkalinity, high SO 2À 4 , Na þ and Al 3þ concentrations were present in ANL and were likely causes of acute toxicity.…”

The extraction of alumina from bauxite produces a highly toxic residue, termed bauxite refinery residue (BRR) or red mud. The toxicity of this material is due to chemical and biological effects of high pH, alkalinity, electrical conductivity (EC), and Na(+) and Al(3+) concentrations. Several neutralization techniques may allow BRR to be used for environmental remediation. The present study investigated standardized 48-h acute toxicity tests with a freshwater cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia dubia, and a marine amphipod, Paracalliope australis, against raw supernatant BRR liquor (RL) versus liquors neutralized with acid (ANL), CO(2) (CNL), seawater (SNL), and a hybrid method (HNL). Based on 48-h LC50 values, the toxicity of the liquors to C. dubia increased in the following order; HNL ≤ SNL< ANL ≤ CNL < RL, with comparable responses from P. australis. The high toxicity of RL likely is due to high pH (≈ 12), alkalinity, and Al concentration. Toxicity of CNL likely is due to high EC and alkalinity. Sulfate and Na(+) concentrations are considered sources of toxicity in ANL. Seawater-neutralized liquor and HNL were considerably less toxic to both test species. These data provide evidence of the acute lethal toxicity of raw supernatant liquor from BRR and four neutralized supernatant liquors to the freshwater cladoceran C. dubia and the marine amphipod P. australis, providing valuable baselines for further ecotoxicological investigations of BRR materials in aquatic environments.
