MACROPHYTE BIOASSAY APPLICATIONS FOR MONITORING PESTICIDES IN THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT

Aquatic bioassay of 11 pesticides using larvae of the mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii (Diptera: Culicidae).

One of the uses of aquatic bioassays is to determine the presence or absence of toxic contaminants in water from the field. Our Laboratory has developed a bioassay system for this purpose using larvae of the pitcher-plant mosquito, W eom ia smithii (Coquillett) (Strickman 1984). V The major app lcation of this system is the investigation of minor fish kills which may occur at any U.S. Air Force...

Microplastics Pollution in the Aquatic Environment: Problems and Challenges

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

AMEG: the new SETAC advisory group on aquatic macrophyte ecotoxicology

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Primary producers play critical structural and functional roles in aquatic ecosystems; therefore, it is imperative that the potential risks of toxicants to aquatic plants are adequately assessed in the risk assessment of chemicals. The standard required macrophyte test species is the floating (non-sediment-rooted) duckweed Lemna spp. This macrophyte species might not...
