“…Depending on the length of exposure, MTBE is toxic to invertebrates at concentrations of 57 to >1000 mg/L [23][24][25]. At concentrations of 388-2600 mg/L, MTBE is toxic to vertebrates [24,26,27].…”

Methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a fuel oxygenate that is added to gasoline, commonly contaminates aquatic systems, many of which are already contaminated with pesticides. The toxic effects (EC 50 value) of several pure pesticides (Diuron, Linuron, Dichlofluanid, Sea nine, Irgarol and tributyltin (TBT)) were measured and compared with the EC 50 value of the pesticide mixed with MTBE, using the Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna acute toxicity assays. The interaction between chemicals was evaluated in terms of the effects of mixing on the EC 50 value (i.e. the concentration (mg/L) of a compound or mixture that is required to produce a 50% change in a toxic response parameter) and the time required to generate the toxic response. Presence of MTBE enhanced the EC 50 value of several pesticides (Diuron, Dichlofluanid, TBT and Linuron) and/or the toxic response manifested more rapidly than with pure pesticides. Toxicity enhancements were quite substantial in many cases. For example, the presence of MTBE increased the toxicity of Diuron by more than 50% when tested with the V. fischeri assay (5, 15 and 30 min exposure). Also, the toxic response manifested itself within 5 min whereas without the MTBE the same response arose in 30 min. Presence of MTBE increased the toxicity of Dichlofluanid by 30% when measured with the D. magna assay. Toxicities of only two pesticides (Sea nine and Irgarol) were not raised by the presence of MTBE. r

“…1981). Since then it has been used for testing of numerous chemicals, products, and effluents (Bengtsson and Bergstrom, 1982;Bengtsson and Tarkpea, 1983;Bengtsson et al, 1984Bengtsson et al, , 1986Lehtinen et al, 1984;Linden et al, 1979;Rehnberg et al, 1980;Svanberg, 1983;Sundstrom et al, 1986;Tarkpea et al, 1985Tarkpea et al, , 1986. The method for culture and determination of acute toxicity (96-h LCSO) is currently under standardization in the nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden).…”

The precision of the 96-h LCs0 test with the eurohaline copepod Nitocra spinipes was evaluated from a data set containing 85 tests with the reference toxicant potassium bichromate conducted at 12 laboratories during a 12-year period. The overall mean was 30 mg/L as K2Cr207 with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 47% ( N = 85). Since salinity differed between tests (7-33 oioo), it explained part of the variation ica. 25%; Pearson two-tailed test r = 0.49; p = 0.0000; N = 85). The effect of salinity on Cr(V1) toxicity was confirmed in an experiment with 4 salinities (3.4, 6.8, 14.6, and 27 o/oo) and was explained to 99% by the equation 96-h LC50 (mg/L) = 2.58 + 1.79 x salinity (oleo).Intralaboratory CVs for corresponding salinities ranged from 8 to 35% (repeatability). Interlaboratory CVs a t two salinities were 42% ( N = 11) at 7-9 oioo and 47% ( N = 4) a t 15-16 doe. 0
