| dc.description.abstract | PROJECT OBJECTIVES
This study will provide information for an assessment of (1) the hazard potential of selected
organic compounds for freshwater organisms, and (2) the use of aquatic organisms as biological
screening tools for contaminants in human drinking water supplies. Specific objectives include:
Objective I: Determine LC50 concentrations of test compounds for selected fish and invertebrate
species by acute toxicity tests.
Objective II: Estimate "no-effect" concentrations of test compounds for selected fish and
invertebrate species by embryo-larval or life-cycle toxicity tests.
Objective III: Determine-rate of uptake, bioconcentration potential, and rate of elimination
of selected compounds in fish tissue.
Objective IV: Characterize selected test compound metabolites in fish and invertebrate species. | en_US |
