General Comments

The ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) default guideline value for nitrate was erroneous. In the absence of an ANZG (2018) default guideline value, refer to the "Grading" guideline values published in the report Updating nitrate toxicity effects on freshwater aquatic species, which were used to inform the current New Zealand nitrate toxicity attribute.
