Toxicity Characteristic of Zinc to Freshwater Biota and Its Water Quality Criteria
锌对淡水生物的毒性特征与水质基准的研究

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element in life bodies. When the dose of zinc exceeds a certain content, it may cause adverse effects to the organisms. In order to investigate the toxic effects that Zn might bring to aquatic life in Chinese fresh waters, it is urgent to derive water quality criteria of Zn for freshwater biota. In this study, the toxicity characteristic of zinc to freshwater biota was extensively discussed using species sensitivity distribution method. Moreover, three common methods for deri...
