      criteria for copper in Tai Lake, China.

AB  - Tai Lake (Ch: Taihu), which is the largest lake in Jiangsu province, China, has 
      been affected by human activities. As part of a concerted effort to improve water 
      quality to protect the integrity of the Tai Lake ecosystem, a water quality 
      criterion (WQC) was developed for copper (Cu) II. The acute WQC was based on 440 
      values for acute toxicity of Cu to 24 species from 6 phyla, 16 families, and 20 
      genera. In addition, 255 values for chronic toxicity of Cu to 10 species from 5 
      phyla, 8 families, and 9 genera were used to derive chronic WQC. Instead of using 
      a traditional approach based species sensitivity distributions (SSD), a weighted 
      species sensitivity distribution (WSSD) approach was used to calculate the 
      cumulative probability based on endemic species to Tai Lake. Acute and chronic 
      WQC developed by use of the WSSD were 5.3 and 3.7 mug Cu/L, respectively. While 
      the WQC values were comparable to those of other countries, there were slight 
      differences due to variability in species composition of different regions. The 
      site-specific criteria indicated that the current standard set for surface water 
      by the Chinese government might not be protective of aquatic organisms in Tai 
      Lake.
