Species Sensitivity Distribution Curve of the Individual Level Acute Toxicity, Chronic Toxicity and

Caption

Species sensitivity distribution curve of the individual level acute toxicity, chronic toxicity and gene expression effect data of aquatic organisms for cadmium, copper and zinc. ■ represents the individual level acute toxicity data; ● represents the individual level chronic toxicity data; ▲ represents the gene expression effect data. The curve was fitted through a logistic function. HC5 indicates the hazardous concentration for five percent of the species.
