Acute toxicity of aluminum chloride to Daphnia magna Straus depending on the chemical composition of water
Abstract
The toxicity of water polutants depends not only on their concentration, but also on the chemical composition of water – the concentration of calcium and magnesium, humic acids, etc., which should be taken into account when extrapolating the results of biotesting to natural conditions. The sensitivity of Daphnia magna to acute toxicity of aluminum chloride was evaluated in natural and artificial water with different parameters of hardness. Aluminum toxicity decreased both in artificial and natural water with an increase in water hardness. However, within the same range of water hardness aluminum toxicity decreased significantly less in artificial water than in natural water. In artificial water, an increase in hardness from 0.017 to 0.524 °e led to an increase in the value of the 48-h half-lethal concentration of aluminum by 1.57 times. In natural water a similar increase in hardness (0.017–0.692 °e) led to a 6-fold decrease in this indicator. Such differences may be associated with the influence of other hydrochemical factors of the studied water types. Thus, when conducting biotesting for the purpose of environmental regulation, artificial water cannot serve as a fully adequate replacement for natural water which chemical composition is affected by spatial heterogeneity.
