Carlson, A., J. Tucker, V. Mattson, G. Phipps, AND P. Cook. CADMIUM AND ENDRIN TOXICITY TO FISH IN WATERS CONTAINING MINERAL FIBERS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-82/053 (NTIS PB82225038).
Description:
Taconite tailings and their component asbestiform minerals in Lake Superior water had no demonstrable effect on the chronic toxicity of cadmium to the flagfish, Jordanella floridae. Maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations determined in life cycle tests, where effects on survival, growth, reproduction, and bioconcentration were used as endpoints, were between 3.3-7.4, 3.0-6.5, and 3.4-7.3 micrograms cadmium/liter at 0.004, 0.08, and 0.95 mg/liter taconite tailings concentrations, respectively.
