Comparison of Multiple Linear Regression and Biotic Ligand Models for Predicting Acute and Chronic Zinc Toxicity to Freshwater Organisms

David K. DeForest et al.

Summary: Multiple linear regression (MLR) models were developed to predict zinc (Zn) toxicity to freshwater organisms based on dissolved organic carbon (DOC), hardness, and pH. Species-specific MLR models were used to predict acute and chronic Zn toxicity, and pooled MLR models were also developed. The performance of the MLR models was compared to the biotic ligand model (BLM) and the existing hardness-based model, and it was found that both MLR models and the BLM provided improvements over the existing model. The consistency in the performance of the two models across species suggests that additional terms included in the BLM do not explain the differences among species.

Applicability of Chronic Multiple Linear Regression Models for Predicting Zinc Toxicity in Australian and New Zealand Freshwaters

Jennifer L. L. Stauber et al.

Summary: Bioavailability models, such as multiple linear regressions (MLRs) of water quality parameters, are used to develop bioavailability-based water quality criteria for metals. However, these models need to be validated for local species and water chemistry characteristics in Australia and New Zealand. This study investigated the applicability of zinc bioavailability models in predicting toxicity in uncontaminated natural waters. The findings suggest that existing MLRs may be useful in deriving water quality criteria for Australia and New Zealand, but the final choice of models will depend on their predictive ability, level of protection, and ease of use.

Does toxicity test variability support bioavailability model predictions being within a factor of 2?

Gwilym A. Price et al.

Summary: This study tested whether the factor-of-2 rule is appropriate for a wider range of organisms and effect concentrations than previously studied. The results showed that the factor-of-2 rule is broadly applicable for metal toxicity to a range of species for EC50 data. However, larger variability exists in low effect levels, suggesting the use of a factor-of-3 rule for EC10 data. The publication of repeated toxicity test data would enable further comparisons and improve the development of bioavailability models.

Comparative Performance of Multiple Linear Regression and Biotic Ligand Models for Estimating the Bioavailability of Copper in Freshwater

Kevin V. Brix et al.

Summary: With the increasing availability of metal bioavailability models, evaluating model performance becomes crucial. This study applied specific procedures to assess the performance of biotic ligand models and multiple linear regression models for copper, identifying performance differences and providing recommendations.
