Abstract The study was the eighth in a series of eight and was conducted on the Kanawha River near Charleston, West Virginia, which receives discharges from many industrial and municipal facilities. The study area comprises about 125 km of the Kanawha River, from the London Pool downstream to the Winfield Pool. Ambient toxicity tests using the Ceriodaphnia dubia and fathead minnow 7-d tests were conducted on samples from 34 river stations. Effluent dilution toxicity tests using Ceriodaphnia were conducted on samples from 11 discharges and fathead minnow effluent dilution toxicity tests were run on four discharges. From 60 to 100% correct predictions of community impact were made by the toxicity tests, depending on the levels of effect compared. Impacts on macroinvertebrates was underestimated by the ambient tests. The toxicity values derived from the effluent dilution tests do not suggest that the effluents should cause toxicity after mixing.
