Abstract
Short-term lethality tests, tests on the 30-d survival of 10d-old larvae, and a life cycle test showed that used crankcase oil adversely affected the survival and reproduction of the American flagfish, Jordanella floridae. Based on the compounds identified in the water-soluble fraction, previous toxicity date, and tissue residue analyses, the authors speculate that zinc, lead, and cadmium probably contribute significantly to the toxicity of the waste oil tested.
