Tóm tắt

The effects on phytoplankton photosynthesis of inorganic metal salts HgCl2, CuSO4, Cd(NO3)2, ZnCl2 and Pb(NO3)2 were studied over monthly intervals. In experiments with individual metals, phytoplankton photosynthesis was not adversely affected if the concentration increase above background levels did not exceed 10−9 mole Hg/l, 5·10−9 mole Cu/l, 2·10−8 mole Cd/l, 5·10−8 mole Zn/l and 2·10−7 mole Pb/l, respectively. However when the concentration was increased by 5·10−10 mole Hg/l+5·10−9 mole Cu/l+5·10−9 mole Cd/l+5·10−8 mole Zn/l+5·10−8 mole Pb/l photosynthesis was significantly reduced, due to a synergetic effect of the combined metals. The influence of phytoplankton density, pH-value concentration of calcium, dissolved organic nitrogen and allochthonous debris on heavy metal toxicity was investigated. Changes in phytoplankton composition are believed to the main reason for the seasonal variation in the toxic effects of heavy metals.
