General formula WER [e(V[ln (hardness)] + ln A--V[ln Z])] CF
where:
V = pooled slope
A = FAV at given hardness
Z = selected value of hardness
Cadmium:
Acute dissolved criterion WER [e(1.0166 (ln [hardness])-3.924)] 0.651
Chronic dissolved criterion WER [e(0.7409 (ln [hardness])-4.719)] 0.651
Chromium III:
Acute dissolved criterion WER [e(0.819 (ln [hardness])+3.7256)] 0.277
Chronic dissolved criterion WER [e(0.819 (ln [hardness])+0.6848)] 0.277
Copper:
Acute dissolved criterion WER [e(0.9422 (ln [hardness])-1.7)] 0.908
Chronic dissolved criterion WER [e(0.8545 (ln [hardness])-1.702)] 0.908
Nickel:
Acute dissolved criterion WER [e(0.846 (ln [hardness])+2.255)] 0.846
Chronic dissolved criterion WER [e(0.846 (ln [hardness])+0.0584)] 0.846
Silver:
Acute dissolved criterion WER [e(1.72 (ln [hardness])-6.59)] 0.85
Zinc:
Acute or dissolved criterion WER [e(0.8473 (ln [hardness])+0.884)] 0.950
Chronic dissolved criterion WER [e(0.8473 (ln [hardness])+0.884)] 0.950
Acute criterion = e(1.005[pH]-4.869)
Chronic criterion = e(1.005[pH]-5.134)
