The toxicity of alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) surfactants was assessed in six- and seven-day acute toxicity tests using fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) embryos and larvae, respectively. Endpoints included survival, heart rate, growth, and deformities collected at the end of the six-day test; and survival, health metrics (length and weight), deformities, and condition factor collected at the end of the seven-day test. All data are subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretations and conclusions. Citation: Hanana, H., Gilroy, È. A. M., Bartlett, A. J., Bennett, C. J., Brinovcar, C.
