dc.description.abstractElevated concentrations of sulfate in waterways are observed due to various anthropogenic activities. Elevated levels of sulfate can have harmful effects on aquatic life in freshwaters: sulfate can cause osmotic stress or specific ion toxicity in aquatic organisms, especially in soft waters where Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations are low. Formerly, chronic toxicity test data in soft water have been scarce. The chronic and acute sulfate toxicity tests conducted with aquatic organisms from 10 families across various trophic levels in this study multiplied the number of tests conducted in soft freshwater conditions and enabled derivation of the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) and sulfate hazardous concentrations for soft freshwaters. The cladoceran Daphnia longispina and freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis were the most sensitive to sulfate among the studied species. Harmful effects on the reproduction of D. longispina were observed at 49 mg SO4 /L while growth of L. stagnalis was inhibited at 217 mg SO4 /L. Most studied organisms tolerated high sulfate concentrations: the median of chronic effective concentrations (EC10 or LC10) was 1008 mg/L for all the species tested in this study. Based on the species sensitivity distribution of the studied species the hazardous concentration for 5 % of aquatic organism (HC5) in soft waters was 117–194 mg SO4/L. Different data set combinations were used to demonstrate the data variability in SSD-based HC5 estimates. The lowest values were produced from combining biotest results from the present study and earlier literature, while the highest values were calculated from the present study only. The derived chronic no-effect concentrations (PNEC) varied between 39 and 65 mg SO4/L.en
