Hemoglobin Levels Modulate Nitrite Toxicity to Daphnia magna

Nitrogenous compounds enter the environment through various anthropogenic sources. Among these are nitrate (NO(3)(−)) and nitrite (NO(2)(−)) which can oxidize the heme moiety of hemoglobin and reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the molecule resulting in toxicity. Of the two anions, nitrite is mo...
