Aquatic Toxicity and Fate of Nickel Coated Graphite Fibers, With Comparisons to Iron and Aluminum Coated Glass Fibers.

摘要

The toxicity of nickel coated graphite was examined using Daphnia magna, the water flea (48 hr assay) and Cyprinodon variegatus, the sheepshead minnow (96 hr assay). Daphnia were the most sensitive test organism having a 48 hr EC50 of 1.0 mg/L soluble nickel. The sheepshead minnow showed no toxic signs up to 1000 mg/L nickel fibers. Fate studies (21 days) were conducted using various water hardness and salt water media. Daphnia magna, Sheepshead minnow, Environmental toxicity, EC50, Marine amphipods.
