## Abstract A biotic ligand model (BLM) was developed to estimate Cu toxicity to lettuce (__Lactuca sativa__) in terms of root elongation after 4βd of exposure. Effects of Na^+^, K^+^, Ca^2+^, and Mg^2+^ on Cu toxicity were examined. The addition of these cations resulted in a 50βfold difference in
