Acute and Chronic Toxicity Data for Pleurocerid Snails Exposed to Sodium Sulfate, Manganese, and a Calcium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate Mixture

We determined the sensitivity of four pleurocerid snail species, Elimia carinifera, E. melanoides, E. hydeii, and E. livescens, to three mining-related contaminants: manganese, sodium sulfate, and a mixture of calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate in 96-hour acute exposures. We additionally determined the sensitivity of Elimia hydeii to manganese and sodium sulfate in 28-day chronic exposures.
