Hemoglobin Levels Modulate Nitrite Toxicity to Daphnia magna
Abstract Nitrogenous compounds enter the environment through various anthropogenic sources. Among these are nitrate (NO3 −) and nitrite (NO2 −) which can oxidize the heme moiety of hemoglobin and reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the molecule resulting in toxicity. Of the two anions, nitrite is...
