Ecological assessment of coal mine and metal mine drainage in South Korea using Daphnia magna bioassay

In order to assess the ecological effect of acid mine drainage, metal mine (Dalsung) and coal mine (Samtan) drainage in South Korea were collected. The each mine drainage then investigated by whole effluent toxicity test (WET) and toxicity identification evaluation (TIE). WET results demonstrated that DS leachate and ST mine water is more toxic than other mine drainage due to the presence of ca...

Toxicity Evaluation of Effluents from Dye and Dye Intermediate Producing Industries Using Daphnia Bioassay

Wastewater from seven dye and dye intermediate producing industries and a common effluent treatment plant was assessed to characterize the acute toxicity using Daphnia bioassay. The 24 and 48 h EC50 values and its confidence limits were estimated applying the probit analysis method. The 24 h EC50 values for different dye effluent samples A, B, C, D, E and F were 1.35, 17.32, 17.67, 29.18, 46.49...

evaluation of bisphenol a solution toxicity before and after ultrasonic and hydrogen peroxide processes using daphnia magna bioassay

background: bisphenol-a is categorized as a toxic and refractory organic matter. ultrasonic process considered as an effective method for degradation of refractory organic matters in the environment which is achieved by the production of fine bubbles through cavitation process. this study is conducted for assessment of the toxicity of effluents containing bisphenol-a which was treated by ultras...
