Purchase This Document Development of Salinity Toxicity Relationships for Produced Water Discharges to the Marine Environment. This study focused on developing an empirical ion toxicity database from which predictive ion toxicity models could be developed. The statistical relationship between concentrations of major ions, or solution salinity, and acute toxicity responses for three common marine organisms will be used to estimate the toxicity of saline waters and aid in the management of regulated marine discharges from the gas industry. Laboratory toxicity data were successfully generated and incorporated into single ion and salinity logistic regression models. This combination provides an effective tool in identifying toxicity that may be caused by common ions present in produced water effluents, and in evaluating the efficacy of mitigation options.
Appendixes contain toxicity data used in the study.
