This dataset concerns the development of models for describing the acute toxicity of major ions to Ceriodaphnia dubia using data from single salt tests and binary mixture tests described in two other datasets under this research effort. It provides the data used in model development in the associated journal article. It also provides concentration-response data and associated general chemistry conditions for 3 experiments consisting of 14 toxicity tests on more complex mixtures of major ions based on data regarding elevated major ions in effluents and receiving waters, which was used for testing the models. . This dataset is associated with the following publication: Erickson, R., D. Mount, T. Highland, R. Hockett, D. Hoff, T. Norberg-King, and K. Peterson.

This dataset provides concentration-response data and associated general chemistry conditions for 26 experiments consisting of 149 tests regarding the acute toxicity of major ions to Ceriodaphnia dubia in a variety of test waters; it also provides LC50 estimates and the estimated ion mixtures at the LC50 for each toxicity test.

This effort involved intensive chronic toxicity testing of major ion salts (comprised of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl, SO4, HCO3/CO3) with the cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia dubia, a species known to be relatively sensitive to ion enrichment. This is the fourth in a series of manuscripts discussing the sensitivity of this species to major ions, with a specific focus of determining whether the principles governing acute response of this species to major ions also predict chronic responses. Results show this to be true, with acute-chronic ratios that are fairly consistent across different major ions, and responses to binary mixtures that show the same types of joint toxicity profiles as was observed previously for acute toxicity of major ions to this species. Mathematical models describing the response of these organisms were developed to predict the toxicity of major ion mixtures based on either chemical activity or chemical concentrations of ions in the mixture. These models showed good agreement with independent literature data on the chronic toxicity of major ion salts or ion mixtures to C. dubia. The datasets associated with this effort provide effect concentrations (EC20 and EC50) for 60 chronic toxicity tests conducted as part of this research, along with literature data extracted for comparison with model predictions. Data generated in this effort will inform efforts by OW, Regions, States, and Tribes to develop water quality standards/criteria for specific major ions (e.g., Cl, SO4). Perhaps more importantly, it provides part of the necessary scientific underpinning for developing standards/criteria that are sensitive to the specific composition of different sources of ion enrichment (e.g., produced water, mine drainage, irrigation return, industrial/municipal effluents) and can therefore support development of robust, integrated assessment tools.

This dataset provides concentration-response data and associated general chemistry conditions for 32 experiments consisting of 177 toxicity tests regarding the acute toxicity of individual major ion salts and binary mixtures of major ions to Ceriodaphnia dubia; it also provides LC50 estimates and the estimated chemistries at the LC50 for each toxicity test.

We determined acute and chronic toxicity of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to up to 7 freshwater species of different taxa in a hardness water of 40 mg/L as CaCO3 and evaluated the effect of 4 hardness waters (15, 30, 60, and 120 mg/L as CaCO3) on acute toxicity of NaCl and Na2SO4 to 3 sensitive species tested in the acute exposures. This data release reports results from acute and chronic exposures with Ceriodaphnia dubia (cerios), Chironomus dilutus (midge), Hyalella azteca (amphipod), Hyla versicolor (gray treefrog), Lampsilis abrupta (pink mucket), Lampsilis siliquoidea (fatmucket), and Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow. Date include survival, size, and other endpoints and associated water quality measurements.

The data represent the reproduction endpoint for the Ceriodaphnia dubia survival and reproduction aquatic toxicity test. Data on control reproduction was acquired for nine California laboratories and 370 WET tests. The data is used in a study comparing the ability of two statistical hypothesis-test approaches to detect toxicity. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Fox, J., J. Diamond, D.
