Data on the acute and chronic toxicity of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate to freshwater organisms in a low hardness water representing Louisiana water conditions

We determined acute and chronic toxicity of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to up to 7 freshwater species of different taxa in a hardness water of 40 mg/L as CaCO3 and evaluated the effect of 4 hardness waters (15, 30, 60, and 120 mg/L as CaCO3) on acute toxicity of NaCl and Na2SO4 to 3 sensitive species tested in the acute exposures. This data release reports results from acute and chronic exposures with Ceriodaphnia dubia (cerios), Chironomus dilutus (midge), Hyalella azteca (amphipod), Hyla versicolor (gray treefrog), Lampsilis abrupta (pink mucket), Lampsilis siliquoidea (fatmucket), and Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow. Date include survival, size, and other endpoints and associated water quality measurements.

本研究测定了以碳酸钙（calcium carbonate, CaCO₃）计为40 mg/L的硬度水体（hardness water）中，氯化钠（sodium chloride, NaCl）与硫酸钠（sodium sulfate, Na₂SO₄）对至多7种不同分类群淡水物种的急性毒性（acute toxicity）与慢性毒性（chronic toxicity）；同时评估了4组硬度水体（以CaCO₃计分别为15、30、60、120 mg/L）对上述两种溶质急性毒性的影响，受试物种为急性暴露试验中筛选的3种敏感物种。本数据集公开了以下7种受试物种的急性与慢性暴露试验结果：模糊潘氏水蚤（Ceriodaphnia dubia，简称cerios）、细长摇蚊（Chironomus dilutus，俗称midge蠓）、雅氏钩虾（Hyalella azteca，端足类amphipod）、灰树蛙（Hyla versicolor）、尖嵍蚌（Lampsilis abrupta，俗称pink mucket粉色蚌壳）、肥蛏蚌（Lampsilis siliquoidea，俗称fatmucket肥蚌）以及黑头呆鱼（Pimephales promelas，即fathead minnow）。本数据集收录的数据涵盖存活率、体长及其他试验终点，同时包含相关水质测量结果。
