Using Multiple Metal Mixture Models to Predict Toxicity of Riverine Sediment Porewater to the Benthic Life Stage of Juvenile White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus)
Laurie S. Balistrieri
Abstract:Five metal mixture dose‐response models are used to predict toxicity of porewater to young sturgeon at areas of interest in the Upper Columbia River and to evaluate these models as tools for risk assessments. Dose components of metal mixture models include exposure to free metal ion activities or metal accumulation by biotic ligands or humic acid, whereas links of dose to response use logistic equations, independent joint action equations, or additive toxicity functions. Laboratory bioassay studies of single m… Show more
