Increasing concentrations of nitrate in surface water and groundwater are becoming a worldwide concern, yet little information has been published on toxicity of nitrate to common organisms used for toxicity testing. The acute and chronic toxicity of nitrate (NO3-N) to Ceriodaphnia dubia, Daphnia magna, and Pimephales promelas was investigated in 48-h to 17-d laboratory exposures. The 48-h median lethal concentration (LC50) of nitrate to C. dubia and D. magna neonates was 374 mg/L NO3-N and 462 mg/L NO3-N. The no-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) and the lowest-observed-effect concentration (LOEC) for neonate production in C. dubia were 21.3 and 42.6 mg/L NO3-N, respectively. The NOEC and LOEC values for neonate production in D. magna were 358 and 717 mg/L NO3-N, respectively. The 96-h LC50 for larval fathead minnows (P. promelas) was 1,341 mg/L NO3-N. The NOEC and LOEC for 7-d larval and 11-d embryo-larval growth tests were 358 and 717 mg/L NO3-N, respectively. Additional exposure of breeding P. promelas and their fertilized eggs to nitrate did not increase susceptibility further. The LC50 values for all species tested were above ambient concentrations of nitrate reported for surface water. However, the LOEC for C. dubia was within the range of concentrations that could be found in streams draining areas under extensive agricultural cultivation.
