the purpose of the present study was to determine the acute toxicity (lc 50 ) of hgcl 2 and cuso 4 in caspian roach ( rutilus caspicus ) and cuso 4 in caspian kutum ( rutilus kutum ). the caspian roach lc 50 values for hgcl 2 at 24, 48, 72, and 96-hrs of exposure, were 0.64, 0.61, 0.42, and 0.28 mg l -1 , respectively, and for cuso 4 were 11.55, 5.08, 2.49, and 1.47 mg l -1 , respectively. the ...

background: crude oil is a very complex composition with harmful effects in human health such as carcinogenesis and blood effects. using the bioassay method to assess the effect of purification process produces useful results. in this study the effect of ozonation to reduce the toxicity of crude oil in the water is investigated. methods: standard sample of the water soluble fraction were prepar...

background: the problem of the environmental pollution by nanoparticles, which have recently entered the cycle of industries process in iran, is very important and can be prevented with applying the proper management approaches. one of the most practical compounds is zno nanoparticle. in the present study  the (lethal concentration-50) lc50 24hr and 48hr of zno nanoparticles exposed-to reactive...

In this study, we used two different types of bioassay, a contact filter paper toxicity bioassay and a soil toxicity bioassay, to compare the acute toxicity of twenty-four insecticides belonging to six chemical categories on earthworm species, Eisenia fetida. Results of the contact filter paper toxicity bioassay indicated that neonicotinoids were super toxic to E. fetida (48 h-LC(50) value rang...

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...

all aquatic organisms are directly or indirectly affected by the physical characteristics of their environment, especially the chemical composition of the water. the high concentration levels, damage tissues and interfere with the normal growth and proliferation. the aim of this research was to investigation acute toxicity of znso4 and cucl2 to gambusia holbrooki by static bioassays at differen...

The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity cefixime in inlet solution and effluent treated with sono-electro-Fenton process using standard strains microorganisms. This research performed as an experimental study, which conducted on a laboratory scale. Escherichia coli (gram-negative) Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) were used for bioassay. First, stock 1000 mg/L containing Cefixim...

In vitro bioassays have been developed and are currently being evaluated as potential alternatives to traditional animal toxicity models. Already, the progress of high throughput screening techniques has resulted in an enormous amount of publicly available bioassay data having been generated for a large collection of compounds. When a compound is tested using a collection of various bioassays, ...

Introduction: Bioassay is necessary for assessment of pollution. Because physical and chemical taste are not enough for assessment of potential effects on water ecosystem. Bioassay tests have alot of scientific value inanition doing of them is easy and need less time, also need less space, laboratory equipment’s and expenditure. Therefor such tests have found special attention in water pollutio...
