Project:
MDRS Crew 66 Biology Project: Daphnia LC50 Acute Toxicity Test

Personnel:
Cheryl Wartman

Operations Data Collected:
The project involves whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing of GreenHab
water. The plan is to expose daphnia magna to varying effluent
concentrations to determine the LC50.

Currently, I am in the set-up stage for the experiment. I have
explored what is available in the Lab and am ready for the arrival of
my gear.

Technical/Equipment Issues:
none at this time

Discussion:
Testing of water quality parameters (such as pH, hardness, etc.).
Establishment of a daphnia colony and first exposure test.

Questions for RST:
none at this time
