A two-wavelength method was applied to the determination of free, ionic calcium with Arsenazo III in solutions containing calcium-binding ligands. By this procedure impurities in the indicator can be corrected for, thereby allowing the use of commercial indicator preparations with purities as low as 80%. Only a 1:1 complex with a conditional log stability constant of 4.28 ± 0.13 at pH 4.6 and ionic strength 0.1 was found under the conditions studied. Key words: free metal ion determination, calcium ion speciation, spectrophotometry, arsenazo III, ion increment method for speciation.

Batch isotherm studies using spiked sewage samples containing a range of total soluble nickel concentrations typical of municipal sewage strongly suggested that it is the free (i.e. uncomplexed) nickel ion that is sorbed by activated sludge. Equations relating nickel uptake by activated sludge to free nickel ion concentrations and the extent of complexation in untreated sewage were developed and applied. Predicted and measured nickel removals generally agreed to within ± 30%.

A procedure was developed by which free metal ion concentrations, toxic to aquatic life, can be calculated by comparing metal toxicity before and after addition of a complexing agent of known complexing capacity. Application of this method suggests that the growth of freshwater copepods is affected at free copper concentrations around 10−10 to 10−9 mol∙L−1. In natural waters, with unidentified ligands of unknown complexing ability, this procedure provides the only method currently available for estimating free metal concentrations at the low levels often causing sublethal toxicity to aquatic organisms.Key words: metal toxicity, complexation, free metal, copepods, copper

Links among metal exposure, metal accumulation, and metal-induced effects were explored in indigenous yellow perch (Perca flavescens) collected from eight lakes located along a metal concentration gradient in two mining regions. Fish exposure to Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn was estimated on the basis of calculated free metal ion concentrations in lake waters. Hepatic metal concentrations were determined and various markers of oxidative stress were measured to assess metal effects in liver cells. Accumulated metals were not consistently related to ambient free metal ion concentrations, possibly because of unaccounted for fluctuations in lake water metal concentrations. Accumulated metals were associated with limited oxidative stress in perch livers, as evidenced by reductions in glutathione concentrations and glutathione reductase activities. However, this stress appeared to be minor, since increasing hepatic Cu concentrations were associated with reduced lipid peroxidation, a response opposite to that predicted from basic principles. Our results suggest that oxidative stress will not have direct repercussions on the health of the perch at the individual level. We speculate that the observed increase in metallothionein concentrations with increasing accumulated metals might afford protection against reactive oxygen species.
