Title: Bioaccumulation and Toxicity of Dietborne Particulate Metals to Benthic Invertebrates
Investigators: Allen, Herbert E.
Current Investigators: Meyer, J. S.
Institution: University of Wyoming
EPA Project Officer: Aja, Hayley
Project Period: April 1, 2002 through March 31, 2005
RFA: Targeted Research Center (2002) Recipients Lists
Research Category: Targeted Research , Hazardous Waste/Remediation
Objective:
The objective of this research project is to investigate the ability of the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) to predict the acute toxicity of Cu and Zn to fish when water quality parameters vary temporally. We will identify water quality parameters that vary diurnally in receiving waters, and conduct preliminary experiments needed to prepare for toxicity tests under time-varying exposure conditions.
