Toxicity Studies of Treated Residual Wastes in Austria using Different Types of Conventional Assays and Cost-Effective Microbiotests

Abstract : The toxicity and chemical quality of 12 mechanically-biologically treated residual wastes were studied during different treatment periods. Acute and chronic bioassays were carried out with a battery of test organisms. The acute toxicity was assessed using Daphnia magna (crustacea) and Vibrio fischeri (luminescent bacteria). The chronic toxicity was tested with Selenastrum capricornutum ...
