  • First Online:
Aquatic Life Water Quality Criteria for Selected Pesticides

Abstract

Water quality criteria are numeric concentrations for chemicals in water bodies that, if not exceeded, should protect aquatic wildlife from toxic effects of those chemicals. These criteria, which do not consider economics or societal values, typically are derived using the existing toxicity data. Water quality criteria can be used as a basis to set legal and enforceable water quality standards or objectives in accordance with the Clean Water Act.
