General Comments
The DGVs apply to dissolved boron and are based on data from toxicity tests conducted for a pH range of 6.8–10 and hardness range of 9.3–250 mg CaCO3/L. They supersede the ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) trigger values for boron in freshwater.
These DGVs and the information in the corresponding DGVs technical brief for this toxicant should be used in accordance with the detailed guidance provided on the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality website.
