Oil spill risk and impact assessments rely on time-dependent toxicity models to predict the hazard of the constituents that comprise crude oils and petroleum substances. Dissolved aromatic compounds (ACs) are recognized as a primary driver of aquatic toxicity in surface spill exposure scenarios. However, limited time-dependent toxicity data are available for different classes of ACs to calibrate such models. This study examined the acute toxicity of 14 ACs and 3 binary AC mixtures on Artemia franciscana nauplii at 25 °C. Toxicity tests for 3 ACs were also conducted at 15 °C to evaluate the role of temperature on toxicity. The ACs investigated represented parent and alkylated homocyclic and nitrogen-, sulfur- and oxygen-containing heterocyclic structures with octanol-water partition coefficients (log K |
