✦ Synopsis
Particulate and water-soluble agents were tested to determine their ability to affect, the relationship between metal toxicity and the survival of Euchaeta japonica (Copepoda, Calanoida). Clay minerals and diatoms were two types of particles capable of affecting this relationship. Ascorbic acid, sewage effluent, and water extracts of humic acid and two types of soils exhibited the same capability. The ability of the water-soluble agents was compared with that of a known chelating agent in an attempt to quantify the activity of the agents.
