Abstract

The protective effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on metal toxicity to aquatic organisms has been reported by numerous authors. Bioavailability models such as the biotic ligand model (BLM) thus account for this factor to predict metal toxicity to aquatic organisms. Until now, however, few attempts have been made to assess the effect of the DOM source on metal speciation and toxicity and, accordingly, on BLM predictions. The aims of this study were to investigate to what extent DOMs differ in their ability to decrease acute copper toxicity to the cladoceran Daphnia magna and to evaluate if ultraviolet (UV) absorbance measurements may be a simple and effective method to incorporate DOM variability into the acute Cu-BLM for D. magna. Acute toxicity tests were carried out in artificial test water enriched with DOMs isolated from six locations in Europe and North America and in seven natural European surface waters. The acute Cu-BLM for D. magna was then used to estimate the copper complexing capacity of each DOM (expressed as % active fulvic acid, 5 AFA). A factor of 6 difference was observed between the lowest and the highest copper complexing capacity. A significant linear relationship was observed between the UV-absorbance coefficient at 350 nm (ε350) and the % AAFA. Linking this relationship to the acute Cu-BLM resulted in a significant improvement of the predictive capacity of this BLM. Without accounting for this relationship. 90%. of the predicted 48-h 50% effective concentrations (EC50) were within a factor of 2 of the observed EC50s; taking this relationship into account, 90% of the EC50s were predicted with an error of less than factor 1.3. The present study and other studies seem to indicate that UV absorhance may he a good measure of biologically and toxicologically relevant differences in copper binding behavior of DOM.
