Summary:

Cadmium concentrations constituting a threat to aquatic ecosystems were predicted from data collected at two levels of biological hierarchy. A population-level estimate was derived from single-species toxicity test data, and a community-level estimate was derived from toxicity tests on protozoan communities. Estimates were compared with each other and with an ecosystem-level estimate derived from reports of ecological health and ambient cadmium levels in rivers, lakes, and streams
