Biesinger, K., G. Christensen, AND J. Fiandt. EFFECTS OF METAL SALT MIXTURES ON 'DAPHNIA MAGNA' REPRODUCTION. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-86/142 (NTIS PB87116646), 1986.
Description:
Three binary metal experiments were conducted using a 'complete block design', testing the chlorides of Cd, Hg, and Zn individually and in combinations of Cd-Hg, Cd-Zn, and Zn-Hg on Daphnia magna reproduction. These mixtures were tested at one-half, once and twice the 16 percent reproductive impairment concentration previously determined for individual metals. The Cd-Hg, Cd-Zn, and Zn-Hg mixtures all showed significant reductions in reproduction at concentrations where the metal salts alone caused no significant effect.
