Relative developmental toxicities of reclaimed water to zebrafish embryos and the relationship with relevant water quality parameters

Reclaimed water recharging rivers is an important way to solve the problem of water shortage. However, reclaimed water contains some toxic contaminants, which will cause ecological and health risks. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between developmental toxicities and relev...
