Coal ash contains numerous contaminants and is the focus of regulatory actions and risk assessments due to environmental spills. We exposed Daphnia magna to a gradient of coal ash contamination under high and low food rations to assess sub-lethal effects of dietary exposures. While exposure to contaminants resulted in significant reductions in growth and reproduction in daphnids, low, environmentally-relevant food rations had a much greater effect on these endpoints.
