Development and evaluation of a Phytotox-Test for field and laboratory testing of phytotoxic chemicals in water

监测水中的痕量污染物是昂贵的，费力的，需要复杂的分析技术。 基于研究小组的新技术，该技术使用基于藻类光合作用抑制的植物毒性测试，该研究将进一步开发和评估测量环境水样中植物毒性化学品的方法和应用。该项目的具体目标是： - 确定对植物毒性化学品敏感的合适藻类 - 确定选定藻类中优先污染物的剂量反应 - 评估影响测量的关键参数 - 开发预浓缩技术。 这些成果将提供第一个现场痕量污染物测试方法，从而更有效地管理水污染

Monitoring of trace pollutants in water is expensive, laborious and requires sophisticated analytical techniques. Building on the research team's new technique, which uses a phyto-tox test based on photosynthesis inhibition in algae, this study will further develop and evaluate methodologies and applications for measuring phyto-toxic chemicals in environmental water samples. The project aims specifically to: - identify suitable algae, sensitive to phyto-toxic chemicals - determine dose-response for priority pollutants in selected algae - evaluate critical parameters affecting measurements - develop pre-concentration techniques. The outcomes will provide the first on-site trace pollutant testing method allowing more effective management of water pollution
