The urban stream Store Vejlea (Denmark), which receives discharges of urban runoff, was investigated using a combination of biological toxicity tests (biotests) and chemical analysis. The urban stormwater and road runoff did not affect the mobilization of Daphnia magna, whereas three of the samples gave low, but statistically significant, effects on the reproduction of the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata . In all pre-concentrated water samples toxic effects were found with EC10-values ranging from pre-concentration factors of 1.7 -43 times and differences in toxicity depending on time and location of sampling were identified (e.g. inlet of road runoff was more toxic than inlet of storm water from an urban area). No toxicity was detected in an unpolluted reference sample pre-concentrated 100 times. Undiluted pore water samples from sediments collected in the stream were all toxic towards the algae and dilutions from 4-14 times were needed to reduce the growth rate inhibition to 20%. To reduce the toxicity of a pore water sample from an unpolluted stream a dilution factor of only 1.6 was required. A qualitative correlation between the toxicity of the pore water and the degree of pollution as evidenced by the metal concentration was observed, but statistically significant correlations could not be established by ranking procedures of e.g. metal content or PAH-concentrations versus the observed toxicity.
