Abstract
A 75 litre sample of Illinois River water was taken on 6 December 1982 for comparison with deionised water to test metal toxicity to duckweed. Barium, cadmium and chromium (VI) were tested.
There were three different types of results. Ba is moderately toxic in deionised water and non-toxic in river water. Cd is extremely toxic in deionised water and also substantially toxic, though somewhat less so, in river water. Cr(VI) toxicity in river water is more or less identical to that in deionised water. These results point out the importance of natural water in regulating heavy metal toxicity.
