Species Sensitivity Data for chromium_III_fresh

Species Sensitivity Data provided by the Department of Agriculture Water and the Environment, Australia. This data underpins the ANZG default guideline for chromium_III in freshwater.

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 13 rows and 7 columns.

Please cite these data as: ANZG (2026). “Toxicant default guideline values for aquatic ecosystem protection: Chromium (III) in freshwater.” Australian and New Zealand Governments and Australian State and Territory Governments, Canberra, Australia. https://www.waterquality.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/chromium-III-fresh-dgvs-technical-brief.pdf.

The columns are as follows:

Conc

The chemical concentration in micrograms per Litre (dbl).

Duration

The duration of the test in days (chr).

Genus

The Genus name (chr).

Group

The taxonomic group (chr).

Species

The species binomial name (chr).

Toxicity_measure

The toxicity measure used (chr).

Units

The concentration units of Conc (micrograms per Litre, ug/L) (chr).

Where toxicity measure is not a chronic NEC, EC10 or NOEC value, concentration has been converted using the appropriate default ratio, as follows: 10 from acute EC50/LC50 to chronic EC10; 5 from chronic EC50 to EC10; 2.5 from LOEC to EC10. Please see the primary reference material for more information.
