Summary

Description of Work Goal of this task is to conduct studies to determine the acute and chronic toxicity of sulfate (as sodium sulfate) to early life stages of: (1) fish (fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas), (2) snails (pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis), and (3) mussels (fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea).

Purpose

Develop sufficient data to determine the relative risk of toxicity from chronic exposures to be used Great Lakes States and Tribes to develop or refine standards for sulfate. This will help protect aquatic life from exposure to chronic sulfate toxicity.
