Abstract
Recommended levels of a number of metals for Great Lakes Water Quality Objectives were found to be very toxic to freshwater algae when these metals were present simultaneously in lake water and culture medium. The diatom tested was more sensitive to metal toxicity than the blue-green and green algae. Key words: metals, Water Quality Objectives, toxicity, algae, diatom, primary productivityThis publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
