Abstract:
      Here the single and joint toxicity of glyphosate and As(Ⅲ) to Daphnia magna was investigated by using acute toxicity test. The 24 h-LC50 and 48 h-LC50 values were 54.12 and 51.12 mg·L-1 for glyphosate and 7.47 and 6.07 mg·L-1 for As(Ⅲ), respectively. Logistic regression model and response surface model were suitable to predict the single effect and the joint toxicity effect of two chemicals at equivalent toxic concentration ratios, respectively. Two response surface models, namely Loewe Parametric Response Surface(CARS) model and Response Additive Response Surface(RARS) model, were employed to estimate the joint toxicity of two chemicals, and the result showed that the interaction of these two chemicals was antagonistic.
