Abstract

The exposures of aquatic organisms to pollutants are usually pulses yet the exposure concentrations in the standard toxicity tests are constant. It raises a question that whether these standard tests include the effects of pulse exposure Therefore, 24-hour pulse exposure to 4 heavy metal ions (Cd2+ Cr6+ Pb2+ Cu2+) was given to Lemna aequinoctialis, and its effects on the growth of L.aequinoctialis was observed in the following 6 days. In the meantime, constant exposure through the methods of standard OECD tests was given and observation was made. Comparisons between the two tests were drawn. In the pulse exposure test, growth was inhibited at first with the increase of concentrations of Cd2+ Cr6+ Pb2+ Cu2+, but the growth rate reached the level of control group within the next 6 days. EyC50 of the pulse group is 1 to 2.5 times higher than that of the OECD group. This research provides basis for the comparison between the effects of two exposure regimes at an experimental level. It is suggested that results can be applied in the effect assessment of intermittently released pollutants.
