| Abstract | Atrazine and molinate are widely used herbicides and concern has been raised about their potential deleterious impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Although there have been some studies on the toxicity of herbicides to aquatic organisms using laboratory or natural water, information on the effect of sediments, suspended particulates, and dissolved organic matter on their bioavailability is quite limited. This study aims to provide toxicity data that considers these factors and the effect that these factors have on bioavailability. In this study, the toxicity of the test chemicals was calculated following the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) methods, whereas change in bioavailability was measured using EC50 values based on measured initial concentrations of the test chemicals. The acute (48-h) static toxicity of atrazine and molinate to the freshwater cladoceran Daphnia carinata was determined in cladoceran water and river water in the absence and presence of sediment. The 48-h EC50 (immobilization) values of atrazine to D. carinata ranged from 22.4 to 26.7 mg/L, while the corresponding values for molinate ranged from 18.3 to 33.6 mg/L, respectively. Both chemicals were classed as having low acute toxicity to D. carinata. The presence of dissolved organic matter and suspended particles in river water did not significantly (p > 0.05) reduce the bioavailability (measured as toxicity) of atrazine to D. carinata compared to that tested in cladoceran water. The presence of sediment, however, signifi- cantly (p < 0.05) reduced the bioavailability (48-h EC50) of atrazine in cladoceran water, from 24.6 to 30.7 mg/L, and in river water, from 22.4 to 31.0 mg/L. Similarly, the presence of sediment in cladoceran water, significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the bioavailability (48-h EC50) of molinate, from 26.6 to 46.4 mg/L, and in river water, from 22.5 to 45.6 mg/L. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
