Impact of Mo6+ in aquatic system via D. magna acute toxicity bioassay was studied.
The acute toxicity increased in the order: Na2MoO4‧2H2O < MoO3 < (NH4)6Mo7O24‧4H2O.
The level of Mo toxicity is highly dependent on the form of molybdenum salts.
LC50 determined for Mo can be used to establish toxicity values for Mo in aquatic systems.
