作者研究了氧化剂次氯酸钠（作为与其他氧化剂进行比较的基准）、氯胺、二氧化氯、过氧化氢加铁、氨和高锰酸钾，以确定氧化剂导致以下情况的可能性:1）斑马贻贝沉淀失活，2）斑马贻贝死亡。这些实验利用了流动生物箱和对维利格人和成年人的静态剂量/反应研究。

The authors studied the oxidants sodium hypochlorite (as a baseline for comparison to the other oxidants), chloramine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide plus iron, ammonia, and potassium permanganate to determine the potential for the oxidants to cause: 1) zebra mussel settling inactivation, and 2) zebra mussel veliger mortality. The experiments utilized the flow-through bioboxes and static dose/response studies with both veligers and adults.
