Bibliography

Describes a method for the determination of the acute toxicity to Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Crustacea).

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the acute toxicity to Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Crustacea).

This method is applicable to:

  • chemical substances which are soluble under the conditions of the test, or can be maintained as a stable suspension or dispersion under the conditions of the test;

  • industrial or sewage effluents;

  • treated or untreated waste water;

  • aqueous extracts and leachates;

  • fresh water (surface and ground water);

  • eluates of fresh water sediment;

  • pore water of fresh water sediment.
