Aluminum bioavailability and toxicity to aquatic organisms: Introduction to the special section

The research performed over the past 6 yr allows for the prediction and measurement of Al toxicity across a range of conditions typically found in natural surface waters in the United States and Europe.The data have been used in dossiers submitted for Al and compounds under the REACH program, and we suggest that the data and models would be useful for setting water quality criteria and standards for Al.
