Abstract
⺠We investigated toxicity effects of pulsed metal exposures on bioaccumulation and toxicity in periphyton. ⺠High frequency of short duration pulses has effects equal to long duration exposures. ⺠Important role of light in modulating metal toxicity on periphyton demonstrated. ⺠Factors other than magnitude and duration must be considered in water quality criteria. ⺠Accurate prediction of metal effects on biofilms requires data on effluent variability.
