| Research Abstract |
A Biotic Ligand Model(BLM) predicting toxicities of metal mixtures was developed. We conducted toxicity tests of copper, zinc and cadmium using algae, and zinc and copper using daphnia. We first determined the half effect concentrations of single metals, and then conducted mixture tests. We calibrated model parameters for algae, and found that the developed model well predicted the toxicity of metal mixtures. Whereas, in the case of daphnia, the predictability of the model was less accurate. The failure of the prediction may be attributed to the use of model parameters determined by previous toxicity tests conducted in the different test medium with different water quality. A refining of the model parameters suitable to our tests medium may be necessary, but is remaining as a future study.
