Abstract

Abstract

The current quality standard of ammonia in seawater in China was made based on the foreign water quality criteria and standard,yet it lacked the support of scientific data to verify whether it could effectively protect the resident species in seawater. Study on the seawater aquatic life criteria for ammonia in China mainly applied the species sensitivity rank (SSR) and the mathematic models developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in making their ammonia criteria in seawater. The total ammonia criteria were derived by a formula conversion from non-ionized ammonia criteria using toxicity data of 15 seawater species in China. When pH ranges from 7.0 to 9.0,and temperatures from 0℃ to 30℃,as salinity is 10,criteria maximum concentration(CMC) and criteria continuous concentration (CCC) of the total ammonia ranges from (0.089-57.141)mg/L and (0.007-4.365)mg/L,respectively;as salinity is 20,CMC and CCC ranges from (0.092-61.152) mg/L and (0.007-4.671)mg/L respectively;as salinity is 30,CMC and CCC ranges from (0.095-65.446)mg/L and (0.007-4.999)mg/L,respectively. Among these environmental factors,the greatest effect on the total ammonia criteria in seawater is pH,followed by temperatures,and then by salinity. Compared to the US ammonia criteria in seawater,the CMC range narrows 5 times and the CCC range shrinks 10 times. Results showed that the current non-ionized ammonia criteria should be corrected as a lower value of 0.007 mg/L to effectively protect the seawater species. Meanwhile,the total ammonia criteria were suggested to manage the ammonia in seawater. These provide the scientific evidence for making the ammonia standard in seawater in China.
