because the acute study showed sublethal effects could be seen between 1 and 100 mg/L. The highest concentration, 100 mg/L, was chosen because the negative effects of gibberellic acid were anticipated at this concentration. The glass jars were filled in the same manner as the jars in the acute experiment. As an example, a 100 mg/L replicate would contain 2 mL of the buffered gibberellic acid 5000 mg/L stock solution and 98 mL of moderately hard water. In a similar manner as the acute experiment,…

For convenience, my conclusions are repeated here: 1. Citing the risk assessment paradigm and risk assessment methodology set forth by the National Academy of Sciences in 1983, Dr. Rodricks…
