Abstract: | The joint acute toxicity of a mixture of 50 nonreactive organic chemicals towards Daphnia magna was investigated. It was found that the observed toxicity is accurately predicted by the model of concentration addition, even at very low concentrations of the individual compounds. The implications these findings may have on the prediction of the toxicity of mixtures of chemicals occurring in nature are briefly discussed. |
