Comparison of dietborne and waterborne toxicities of 4-tert-butylphenol towards benthic crustaceans, Heterocypris incongruens

摘要

Using the newly proposed method with frequent water and food renewal, the dietborne toxicity of 4tBP to benthic ostracod H. incongruens was successfully shown. Under the equilibrium partitioning condition of food and water, the dietborne toxicity could explain the toxicity.
