Copper Chemistry, Toxicity, and Bioavailability and Its Relationship to Regulation in the Marine Environment
Abstract
This document details issues addressed at a November 2000 workshop attended by Navy and regulatory representatives and scientific experts. Objectives discussed were (1) define Navy copper compliance issues, problems, and requirements; (2) define current status and future direction of Cu regulations; (3) further the understanding of the relationship between copper speciation, bioavailability, and toxicity; (4) determine the state-of-the-science of the Cu free ion activity and biotic ligand models; and (5) develop a consensus on the maturity of free Cu ion activity and complexation capacity measurement capabilities.
