Within this study, 14 North American Lakes Region lakes are expected to exceed the EPA's
aquatic life criterion concentration of 230 mg / L by 2050, and 47 are on track to reach chloride concentrations of 100 mg / L during the same time period.
Criteria Description Fish Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to fish (both saltwater and freshwater) Daphnia Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to Daphnia (invertebrate aquatic organisms) Algae Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to aquatic plants Persistence / Biodegradation Rate of degradation for a substance in the environment (air, soil, or water) Bioaccumulation Potential for a substance to accumulate in fatty tissue and magnify up the food chain Climatic relevance Measure of the impact a substance has on the climate (e.g., ozone depletion, global warming, etc.) Other Any additional characteristic (e.g., soil organism toxicity, WGK water classification, etc.) relevant to the overall evaluation but not included in the previous criteria 1.3.3 Material Class Criteria The following material classes are flagged due to the concern that at some point in their life cycle they may have negative impacts on human and environmental
