To predict the comparative toxicological response of synthetic detergents on aquatic ecosystems, the effects of various concentrations of neutralized alkyl benzene sulfonate were studied. The median tolerance limit at 48 hr, 95% confidence limit, slope function, presumable harmless concentration, and rate of survival of different species of aquatic fauna such as water fleas (Daphnia magna), mosquito larvae (Culex pipiens), slug worms (Tubifex rivulorum), snails (Lymnaea vulgaris), tadpoles (Rana cyanophlyctis), and fish fingerlings (Cirrhina mrigala) were followed at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr. Any effect on quality of the water was also tested after the addition of various concentrations of detergents. The results showed that water fleas are more susceptible to detergent toxicity than fish fingerlings, tadpoles, slug worms, snails, and mosquito larvae. Behavioral changes were also observed as an index for detergent toxicity. The relative toxicity of the detergents to various species is discussed in relation to selective ecotoxicological response.
为预测合成洗涤剂对水生生态系统的比较毒理学反应,研究了不同浓度中和烷基苯磺酸盐的影响。在0、24、48、72和96小时跟踪了不同种类水生动物如水蚤(大型溞)、蚊幼虫(致倦库蚊)、颤蚓、蜗牛(静水椎实螺)、蝌蚪(蓝绿湍蛙)和鱼苗(印度鲮)的48小时半数耐受限度、95%置信限度、斜率函数、推定无害浓度和存活率。在添加不同浓度洗涤剂后,还测试了对水质的任何影响。结果表明,水蚤比鱼苗、蝌蚪、颤蚓、蜗牛和蚊幼虫对洗涤剂毒性更敏感。还观察到行为变化作为洗涤剂毒性的指标。结合选择性生态毒理学反应讨论了洗涤剂对不同物种的相对毒性。
