Increased temperature and turbulence alter the effects of leachates from tire particles on fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)

This study investigated the effect of temperature, turbulence, ultraviolet light, and carbon dioxide, on tire leachate particles and then studied the toxicological effects those solutions had on the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Five experiments were conducted where fathead minnow embryos were exposed to filtered leachates from tire particles or control water. Tires were leached for 10 days at varying temperatures, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, turbulence, and ultraviolet-A (UVA) light conditions. All exposures were completed in 24-well plates containing 2 millilitres (mL) of solution per embryo, with 12 embryos per plate. Solutions were changed daily. Observations such as hatching success, time to hatch, length, deformities, and heartbeat were measured on both embryos and the hatched fry. All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretations and conclusions: Kolomijeca, A., Parrott, J., Khan, H., Shires, K., Clarence, S., Sullivan, C., Chibwe, L., Sinton, D., & Rochman, C.
