摘要：

Instream toxicity was predicted with whole effluent toxicity tests. These results were then compared to the observed instream response of the aquatic community. Forty‐three comparisons were conducted in freshwater flowing systems using Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic toxicity test procedures and standardized qualitative sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates. In 88% of the comparisons there was agreement between both measures. These data suggest that the use of effluent toxicity testing results as a regulatory tool is effective and appropriate. Comparisons used whole effluent toxicity limitations similar to those being written in North Carolina's NPDES permits for discharge to surface waters. Copyright © 1990 SETAC
